[quote=Anonymous]I had a terrible experience. Kids were a year younger than what you described. It was probably a special circumstance.. The parents seemed fine when I first met them, by the end they had a nasty divorce as soon as the dad got home. The older child had a rough time adjusting to his dad who was like a stranger to him after a six month deployment, and the dad wasn't too thrilled that he preferred me. Mom was SAH and I was left to do a lot that was not on the contract, like household chores, and she knew she could get away with it since her husband was gone. Also, I am pretty liberal, and like a lot of people in the military, they were conservative (to the extreme, Donald trump/Ben Carson supporters). I am from a military family myself but just reserves, and we have learned communication is the key. Anyway... I would make sure they have good communication, and be prepared for some challenges transitioning at the beginning and end of the deployment. I work for a different family now, hopefully this one turns out to be as great as my current NF :) good luck! PS be sure to meet any family members that you may be around often, since they need extra help while the mother is away. I had to deal with a critical grandmother for a long time. [/quote]
