SAHM Guilt

So I have been married to my husband for 4 years now, have been a SAHM for a little over a year. I’m only 22 and i dropped out of college my second semester to move in and get married with him. Even though i had a scholarship that payed for almost all of my schooling. I never had a credit card. No sort of financial aid. But little did I know that that my mother took out 3 loans in my name. And just found out today that I’m a little over 6k in debt with a very high interest. I have no way of proving that it wasn’t me that took them out since she said it was for my schooling. My husband wants to just pay it all in full and be done with it. But it makes me feel terrible knowing that I am not helping pay for something my parents did when me and him were not even married when they took those loans out. So idk I’m just on here to rant ig because I have no one else to tell this to. I knew my parents were shitty people but I didn’t think they were that bad. Now all of this money my husband has worked so hard to save for us just gets thrown away on something that isn’t even beneficial for us in any way. And my credit score is in the dump since I have been missing countless payments for years. So that’s how my night in going. I feel terrible that I’m not making any money to help pay for it.

"Family First"

I feel like the Army tells you this to make it all seem good, but when in reality they really don't gafff. Whether it's Dr appts, vacations, birthdays, etc. They don't care. Every year since 2022 they go to JRTC for an entire month in May. Mother's Day... we stay home with our kids every day for them to go to work and we cant even have our spouses on the 1 day that's meant to celebrate us?? I have celebrated 1 mothers when my first was 8mo... ever since hes been gone every year. Why? And not to mention it's our anniversary month too... idk I'm just here to rant because there's nothing i can do anyway 🫠😔 I know I'm not the only one that feels this way but we just stay quiet because who are we arguing with 😂😂 the government lol ughhhh rant over

Making friends

Need friends

Hi there! I’ve been in milso groups before, and was in chats but as time went on it’s like everyone disbursed again. I am in serious need of some friends, specially military spouses as I see it easier to be understood. If anyone would like to be friends let me know! I have a 3 month old so I’m at home with him every day while my daughter is in school and my husband is at work. We can text, snap, IG dm; whatever is better and easier. 😊

Advice or any info??

I am a new military wife- my husband is currently at basic training. We now live in Illinois and have 2 children, a 1 year old and a 1 month old. After his BT he will have 36 weeks of AIT in Virginia(Fort Lee). Does anyone from there or know about how living on base works? We have been told different things and have gone back and forth about whether we can live on base with him or not or where to go. My children and I can’t stay where we’re living now for too much longer and we’re struggling a bit financially especially with the government shut down and complications with state benefits like SNAP/WIC. So I’m trying to figure out if I should try and find an apartment around where we are now or try to live on base or try to get a place off base but near??

For a little context I have few family near me now but my aunt and uncle who sometimes help with our kids but I’m still by myself; or go to a new state with zero help, new neighborhood, new city, new everything that I’m not familiar with. I’m just freaking out being overwhelmed and scared doing all of this alone. I knew going into it we would have to be apart at times but financially I don’t know how to do this the best way.
