[quote=Anonymous]OP, I get it. When my husband was deployed, my OWN brother was completely unhelpful. I knew he would never think to offer help on his own, but he wasn't even that helpful if I had very specific requests; i.e. can you tell me a day when you could watch the kids for a few hours so I can get a haircut and go grocery shopping. Eventually it wasn't worth the hassle. Wonderful friends did much more for us that year, like taking us all out to cut down a Christmas tree and helping me get it up, etc. Yes, the military is a life you choose, but we all exist in a community where it is better to help each other than to have to struggle through on one's own. I have had plenty of chances to help our friends out with their own stuff and always am happy to do so. [/quote]
