[quote=Anonymous][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]

Yes, he volunteered to serve his country. It's incredibly difficult for the families of those who serve. BIL doesn't have to help, but they don't have to be there for him either. [b]If my family couldn't help me in my time of need, then my family wouldn't be welcome to share in all the good time either. [/b][/quote]
