[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, it really sucks that your BIL didn't help out. People don't get it. Militaryove every two-three years. It takes time to build a network of people to help out while your DH is deployed. It's also really expensive. Everyone just says you should hire more help. At $15-$20/he, it's so expensive on a military salary to hire all this extra help. I feel for you.

As a former military spouse, I found only other military families understand how hard it is to be the sole provider to your family when you are new to the area. I would look for a battle buddie for yourself. I would take BIL out of the guardian role for your children. He doesn't seem mature enough to handle that type of responsibility. [b]He's too self absorbed at this point in his life.[/b] [/quote]

How is he self-absorbed, but OP isn't? She wants other people to fill in for her husband after a choice he made. [/quote]

No she doesn't. She wants people to do what they said they were going to do without flaking or, at least, set appropriate low expectations. I can't get over how much people are reading into this post.[/quote]
