On this episode I get pretty personal and discuss my apprehensions about bring children into this military life. Yes, I am probably overthinking this but my husband and I are going to try to have kids soon and their childhoods will look a lot different than either of ours since they will be kids of an active duty service member. My kids probably won’t be around their grandparents and cousins as much as I was growing up, there dad will be gone for extended periods of time, they will move towns and school fairly frequently at least compared to my own childhood when I didn’t move at all!
I think my biggest apprehensions comes because they will grow up in a totally different way than I did. I only know my own childhood perspective and theirs will be so much different. I know that I will be the stable factor in their lives and that is a lot of pressure on me to stay physically, mentally, and emotionally healthy while taking care of dogs, home, businesses. All while my husband is away.
Listen to me talk through it all on today's show.
