Like I said, my feelings may change in time because I am not at that point in time.

I’m not infallible and I certainly never said it was easy. I think it’s different when you have older kids. They have much bigger opinions then and you have to think about things like credit transferability, college, sports, and what a new school would or wouldn’t offer if you PCS. Every parent wants to make sure their child(ren) has the best possible chance at success and sometimes that means staying behind.

We knew we were getting orders to GA right after VA and our oldest daughter didn’t want to start a new school for 8th grade and then another for 9th grade. We also agreed that once she started high school in GA, the kids and I would not move until she graduated, even if he got orders elsewhere during that time. We have to face a lot of tough choices as military members & spouses because this is the life we chose for ourselves. Our children were simply born into it. If we have to make some sacrifices in order for our children to be happy, then so be it.
