This is unheard of.[/quote]

Not really.  Have you heard of the military?[/quote]

She is not in the military. She is money hungry.[/quote]

OP here.  Could you quit it with the "money hungry" business?  I am not doing this for a big payout - I'm doing it because it's something I've worked hard on for a long time, something I have committed to, and something that, yes, I believe will make the world a better place, at least in a small, concrete way I can accomplish.  It's true that it is also my job, which pays our family's bills.  But providing financial security and modeling hard work, initiative, commitment and sacrifice are all part of what I think it takes to be a good mother.  Stop trying to demonize my choice just because it is different than what you would choose.

On to more positive things:

I have gotten a ton of great suggestions here, have already talked with my husband about implementing some of them, and have started preparing for the things I can do both before and after I leave to make this easier for my family.  DCUM really came through for me on this.  Thank you wholeheartedly to the people who used to thread to help lift another woman and family up rather than tear us down![/quote]
