[quote=Anonymous]Military lofe only works if both spouses truly understand the sacrifices involved. At this stage in your child's life, being the at home spouse is relentless. It just is. My DH came back in January after the most physically exhausting 6 months of my life (my kids don't all sleep all night either).

But we prepared for it by hiring extra daytime help. I was bone tired, but not overwhelmed and I could still work.

That said, this is your future. If this will be your only child, then just hang in there another few years. If you're even thinking about more children, you need to rethink this job. There's no point to all of this if you become super depressed, your kid is stressed, and your marriage suffers.

Careers are another one of those sacrifices of military life no one tells you about. If staying employed, at this level, is your priority, then embrace that and the struggle that goes with it. Pay for more help, even if the cost is painful. Your DH also needs to see this as part of the team effort of maintaining your family and your marriage.[/quote]
