It’s been tough being a single mom during Anthony’s deployment. Jocelyn’s temper and attitude has made a turn for the worse and she constantly throws major tantrums. Just about anything can set her off. She’s always asking for her daddy and can’t understand why he’s not back yet. How do you explain to a 4 year old that he can’t come back whenever he wants? I have tried everything imaginable to discipline her bad behavior. I’ve tried keeping her busy by planning activities outside of the house. Nothing seems to be working.
Analise has not been coping well with her pacifier being taken away nearly a month ago. She feeds every 2 hours day and night! She’s been sick on and off for a while now and I feel bad not giving in to her request to nurse so often.
I’m exhausted and ready for a break. It’s not easy being a military wife, but I guess no one ever said it would be.
5 months down. 7 more to go.
you’re my hero.
oh, gosh. i thought i had it rough. and alex is here! =P it’s actually better now that he’s almost done with c130 pilot training. i wish you luck! i completely understand waking up every 2 hours! *sigh* motherhood. how can something so exhausting be so rewarding at the same time?
