Parents where the kids sport dominates their entire family’s lives, and it’s all they talk about and can relate to. Very one-dimensional .

+1. I’ve actually lost friends to the sports culture. They are completely obsessed; it’s the only thing they care about (sometimes even over school!) and their kids are not collegiate level athletes. Then their kids go to college, that culture/social group dissolves, and they want to be BFFs with their pre-sports friends again. No thanks, the rest of us moved on. I completely respect this meant a lot to you, but you cannot expect your other friends to sit on the sidelines for 4-6 years.

This. And I'm a liberal but I don't need to work it into every single conversation. I have friends who bring it up when we're trying to decide where to go eat. Sometimes you can give your political agenda a rest, you know? And frankly, if you really cared that much, you'd do something about it.

But seriously what you do or don't do in terms of practice, praying, and observing holidays is between you and the higher power. You don't need to know what I do and then sit and criticize because you don't think it's enough or you don't think I'm doing it right and your way of practice and observance is more correct - because frankly you aren't the authority here.

Hard disagree. Life circumstances made it so that I was exposed to military culture/life intimately without being in the military. Military wives have to pack up and move their entire families every 2-3 years, immediately adapt to the new location/culture (and help their kids assimilate), make new friends, find new resources, and generally make up the lifeblood of base activities and community, ALL with an embarrassingly small amount of support. The nature of their husband's career make it so that they themselves are effectually prevented from developing their own careers, but their husbands and kids would be lost without them as a governing force.

I have more respect for military spouses than nearly any other group.

I was stunned to see military wives listed here. That person has no clue. None at all. I'm not a military spouse but have lived on a military base. People are clueless about how hard it is.

To be fair, there are some of "those" military spouses who are all about the clout of their husbands title and throwing that around socially. I don't think the PP was referring to the typical military spouse.

Some just are just more into it than others and it does consume their identity. I appreciate PPs responses because it is hard and truthfully, I hated it and regret it. I would not make the same choice again. But I also didn’t revolve my life around the role of spouse “team” or base life. Some women (in particular) love to do all the volunteering and entertaining and office support stuff. Being a rank/role “wife” is their identity. It has its part and it makes a difference to some people. I always resented that so many liberties were taken with my time and energy. Some of these women are putting in full time hours for zero money and it’s wrong. We gave up SO much money and so many opportunities over the years by me not working and not having a house that I actually can’t stand to be “thanked for my sacrifices “ because people have NO idea how much we screwed ourselves financially and personally for that damn career. It was stupid. We all suffered for nothing.
