[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OK, PP here, I should have read the whole thread.

Some of these responses are unkind. Let's face it, some of the things we do are not strictly necessary all the time. There is nothing wrong with cereal for dinner or laundry that sits a while. Expectations CAN be lower for some of these tasks and you can still be doing a great job.

Mil spouses are better educated than a lot of you seem to assume. Maybe these spouses are choosing to play educational games and do enriching things INSTEAD of prioritizing chores. I can take my kids to the smithsonian, or I can have a spotless house and a steak dinner. It's really hard to do everything. The point here is that some things can be de-prioritized if you're only pleasing yourself, and that can make things easier.[/quote]

Why are you so defensive? And, the idea of typical army SAHM with 5 kids knowing what the Smithsonian is, let alone wanting to go, is kinda inconceivable. That goes for enlisted or officer. Maybe you’re better than the rest of them. Good for you [/quote]
