Military mama/wife

We have all been there one way or another. My hubby was in the military too. We weren’t together when he was in so I couldn’t even begin to imagine what you are going through but I’m here if you need to talk! 😃

Army wife and SAHM here 🙋🏻‍♀️ I know exactly how it feels! Here to talk if you ever need a good venting mama!

I'm right there with you!!

My finance was at BOLC for my daughter's first 4 months and it was hard. But try to get out and meet people. Go to Mom's groups and that will help pass the time and make friends. Go for walks and storytime at the libraries. Every day try to have a goal of going somewhere if possible. It will help give the days purpose.

I so understand especially with having 3 kids... when he deploys is when I get more sad and overwhelmed

You’ll get it girl! I’m a military brat turned military spouse. I have three littles and my husband only was around for the middle littles birth. It can be overwhelming at times to feel solo, but you just have to go with the flow and you’ll get it. We face 6-7 month deployments way to often, but I make it work. My girls and I have become a great team over the years, since the majority of our life is spent far from family and without a village and thousands of miles from my spouse. You’re right, it’s not easy, but with one little, you can make this work! Say goodbye to expectations, step back and regroup, come up with a doable game plan for day to day, then go from there. You can’t do it all, remember that, so just decide what you want to do, and do that. The more you adapt, the more you can handle, and the easier it’ll become. You’re doing great! Everyone starts somewhere!

My husband just retired from the Navy! ❤️ and works for the Navy as a civilian now, I know all to well what your going through. I also struggled with PPD after the birth of my 2 year old.

Girl I feel you being a military wife/ mom is SO hard especially without support some days I find myself day dreaming about what it would be like to have my family just up the road like everybody else. The sleep I’d get, getting to go out like a regular 21 year old getting a couple of hours to myself to get things done but we don’t get that with this lifestyle unfortunately :/ it takes a special type of person to live this lifestyle and not everybody can do it so pride yourself that you can. Try to get out and make friends. I know it’s hard but other military wives know exactly what you’re going through

My hubby goes to navy boot camp in February 😭 I had to start working to get out of the house and keep myself busy so I got a job at in home daycare part time mon-Friday and I get to take her with me. So I just got lucky she’s 8 months now and will be turning one in May 😭 my husband and i have never been apart long so it’s gonna be so difficult for me ! It’ll be all worth it when it’s over tho ! I just made mom friends and will hang out with them when he’s gone so I won’t feel alone bc family can’t handle my little girl lol

Not that I’m with him anymore but I was with someone in the military.. I realise the struggle so if you fancy a chat give me a message!

My husband was in the military and I had ppd really bad after I had my daughter. Just know you aren't alone. Feel free to message me if you ever want to chat. ♥️

You need support!! If you need anything you can message me

Hey mama! Milso ova here 👋🏻 my hubs just got back a couple months ago from a year long deployment, he had to leave when out second was only a couple months old 😭😭 so I feeeeeeeeel you. Hang in there, & don’t eat your feelings; like I do 😭😂🤷🏼‍♀️

I’m right there with you. Duty days suck. I never suffered from PPD but I hear it’s hard to overcome.
I’m always here if you need someone to talk to.

Make sure you find friends and look for groups in your area. People on bases are always willing to help and make room for new friends. I’m the military one so my poor hubby dealt with this ...but talk to women who have been were you are. It helps

I made a group of local mom friends when my husband deployed for 10 months. I actually preferred finding local friends rather than other military because they didn't move away and they talked about stuff other than the military so it wouldn't constantly remind me. I should add I'm also active duty so work definitely helped keep me distracted but I think just staying busy is key

I feel you.. they decided to put mine on CQ duty the weekend after her birth and the weekend after that. 😩 He didn’t get any time off after she was born either; he went straight back to work the next day.. I had to do it all alone because I have NO family near and neither does he. Our families are on the east coast, a 17 hour drive away. 🙄

My boyfriend is in the navy and he’s been deployed since I was 6 months pregnant and will be deployed until my daughter is 5 months old, I’m struggling with PPD and know exactly how you feel, feel free to message me!

I'm going through that now. The military moved us out here so my husband could teach at the bootcamp and he is back in VA right now at school and I'm 7 months pregnant and on bed rest and a first time mom. So it's hard, especially since I can't exactly stay busy. But you will get through it I promise. Not having family I get try and make some friends with other spouses they become like your family

Definitely understand my husband is in Virginia and I’m in New York with the kids and it is definitely hard and emotionally draining. Hang in there

I am a military spouse and I am no where near a base/ fort and mine is deployed for another 5 months... I understand you! Always looking for military friends!

My husband is in Honolulu for two weeks. But I get to come visit for the weekend 😁

I get how you feel wish I was closer! It’s not easy but you can make it! You can always friend me I love and enjoy talking!

I feel you… my partner is deployed and haven’t met our baby yet.. it’s hard but I just try to keep myself busy with work and kids.. I’m here if you need someone to talk to

Your not alone! I had a week with my new born and then the next two weeks he was gone on training. ( Marine) so I understand have you made friends around you?
