This will be our second deployment, and we have three young children. The first deployment was hell because I was alone in Missouri with no family or friends. The next deployment will be at least six months, and my parents want me and the kids to come and stay with them. What is the best thing to do, and why?What are the benefits of going to stay with family during a spouse's deployment?
your family is your best support (and they probably noticed how bad it was last time and care, thats why they asked you) so i would go stay with them.What are the benefits of going to stay with family during a spouse's deployment?
Stay. You can always fly over to visit. Moving children allot, even young ones, is not good for them. They need stability.
Grew up in a military town. Lots of kids came and went in the school and they had 2 things in common. 1. they made friends easily 2. they were still distant and were weird with some off things.
It'll take your mind off of things and if you get really stressed out you can leave the kids with your family to go away on a spa trip. My boyfriend's father was just deployed for 6 months. It really helps to have a good support system and to know people who go threw the same thing.
go to family for and support
