The Worst Part of the Military..... The Bitchy Women!!!

From the outside looking in, being married to a man (or woman) in the military is a glamorous role to have in life. An officer and a Gentleman often comes to mind, along with fancy Balls and heartfelt reunions after deployments. What you realize once you are married to someone in the military however, is that is isn't all it's cracked up to be. The low pay, the long hours, the military's uncanny way to fail to recognize the family as anything important. "Service Before Self (and Family)". Of course, no one bothers to warn you about the worse thing of all; the whiny, gossiping, bitchy military wives. Never in my life have I seen as many women acting like they were 14 again in one place, as I have on a military post. I still recall going to a new post and meeting one of these women within a few days of moving in.

I was at the park with my four very small children at the time, and will admit I was having a difficult time keeping up with all of them. The next thing I knew, I saw a woman yelling at my four year old son. I politely asked her what happened and she spouted back "My baby was climbing up the bottom of the slide and YOUR son slid down and knocked him over!" I wondering why this woman would let a baby climb up the wrong end of a slide to begin with, but figured that fighting with her was not worth with time so I responded with "Would you please let me know next time and I will handle it, he has a speech delay and all he understands is that someone he doesn't know was screaming at him" Which was true, when she yelled at him, he came running towards me and the women I was with screaming and crying in a panic. Well, so much for kindness, this woman was hell-bent to be the center of attention today as she shouted back. "Well maybe if you watched your God Damn kids it wouldn't happen!" Again my thoughts travelled back to how it really was her fault to begin with, and I just laughed. At that point, her husband, looking quite embarrassed got up from his seat and they left. I never saw that woman again, and that suits me just fine. Women like that just deserve to be slapped!
