It wasn't the strain and stress of having to be a single parent for Sharon, the wife of an army pilot and mother of two that tore her marriage apart -- it was the fact that her husband returned from Iraq a "changed man."
Have you ever thought about joining the military? I can't say that I ever have and here are some of my reasons. Please feel free to comment and add yours!
I think I finally realize why so many young wives have babies... and I don't mean the ones who get married due to pregnancy....

so? get a life.

OK, and why would that be?
was it because married people have unprotected sex.
is it bc they are bored on post and the most exciting thing is to start a new chapter in their life?
care to fill us in?
When you're done enlightening us, can you tell us why so many childless woman are whiny ass bitches who have nothing else better to do than get into other people's business about why they have kids?
Way to try and start drama 1:38...
Sorry 2:22, but I believe the OP did a fine job of doing that herself.
OP here, I didn't mean this to be a negative comment, I simply meant that I can understand why someone would want to become a mother at such a young age in the military community now. I used to be the type of person to judge young mothers when I saw them in the px or commissary, I would think oh what a shame, and I don't feel that way anymore...

Why, because you're young and pregnant now? Just throwing that out there. You still refuse to tell anyone why now you don't judge young moms. You should have never before in the past! They're other people's kids...not yours so why should you have ever given a fuck?
Everyone has their own reasons...some of us have kids while we're young because for certain reasons (such as medical) that is the only time we can have them. Some women prefer to have kids young so by the time they hit 40, the kids are 18 or so and the parents can enjoy their lives then..I don't know why every woman purposely has a child at say, age 18 19 20 or whatever. But it's none of your business that is for sure.
op im neither young [27] nor pregnant and no I do not have children yet. If I wanted my reasons posted, I woud have done so. I am sad to see all the catty comments this confession has brought about
"op im neither young [27] nor pregnant and no I do not have children yet. If I wanted my reasons posted, I woud have done so. I am sad to see all the catty comments this confession has brought about"
Coward. Why don't you just post the reasons? Why are you so scared? Gosh, you are so immature and stupid. That shit is anonymous...grow up you silly brat. I'm younger than you and I have way more balls and maturity to feel how I do and tell others so. Wimp. Good thing your husband is in the military. Maybe he's actually a man and can compensate for your childish behavior. LOL.
yall are ridiculous...lets bitch and whine about everything
Ok I'm 22 and have two children and I don't know why you people are so offended over this confession...
I just don't understand why whenever there's a confession about having kids, someone always has to go and berate people without children (1:38). It doesn't make any sense. Are they jealous? I'm sorry I can't have kids, and it's pretty shitty to have someone calling me a "whiny ass bitch" because of it.
the op knows full well she was trying to start shit, and now she cant even back it up and wants to play the victim. grow up lady.
I think 1:38 was only complaining about childless woman that continue to bash woman who have children, not all childless women in general.
Wow, I was just curious as to why she said what she did. Look at all you catty ladies making a big deal out of nothing, calling people cowards, whiney ass bitches. Hint, were ALL friggin anonymous. LMAO
So I'm wondering OP, is it because you want to have a baby now and can't?
I began my family young because I have health issues that will get worse as I get older (nothing necessarily life threatening.) I was also aware that having babies at or above 35 posed serious risks. I know now, that if I had waited, I wouldn't have been able to have children.
I was happily married at 19 and now at 27 have three wonderful kids (1+ twins.) I get some looks at the commissary, but I wouldn't change anything. I chose to pursue my family before my career on purpose. Different people have different priorities. Some people have a fabulous career and never worry about money... I have three beautiful children and an amazing marriage. I wonder who will have regrets when it's their time to go?
