This. so many unwanted children living a sad life just because the mother had to give birth to them. If only the pro-lifers were as good at adopting them as they are at calling women who had abortions murderers.. being unwanted may not impact your body but it kills your soul.

Far too common.

That only applies to other peoples religion, not my religion, as my religion is much more than that, it is the truth. (Yes I am taking the p!ss.)

Parents need to pay more attention to stop that behavior so they don't have to make excuses for it

Military spouses using “we” when they speak of their spouses rank. Kill me.

i remember taking my son to the military hospital and having to wait to be seen w/all the other moms. in walks a woman w/child in tow. she is told to have a seat and she will be called. she puffed up and said "i am lt. so and so's wife and i demand to be seen now!" some other woman stood up and said, 'oh sit down! you make your living the same as the rest of us - you sleep with a sailor."

This pisses me off almost as much as stolen valor. Almost.

Yep, you did nothing Karen, pipe down.

I absolutely, honestly am not trying to make this one of those “America sucks” comments in any, any way, but I HAVE to ask: would this as a matter of fact BE an american thing? Because this is an absolute non-thing where I live. The term “military spouse” would never be uttered here, if it ever existed it was long before I was ever born. At most your friends will be aware that you’re married to a military employee - if they’re close friends they might even know what specific job the person in question has in the military, and that’s the absolute and total extent of it. Calling oneself “military spouse” would be like calling yourself a “baker spouse” or a “teacher spouse”. I’ve gotten the impression that being in the military has some sort of status in the US, is that correct or am I totally misinterpreting things?

I find this absolutely hilarious as in the UK it just does not happen.

I'm a military (retired) spouse and I would never expect any special treatment. There is no "we." My husband served, not me. I'm extraordinarily proud of him.

I've always been interested to know if they would have the gaul to claim their husband's rank around the husband or in front of other officers... would love to know how the husband feels about it.

You don't salute civilians... and vice versa.

If someone said something like this to me I might say were you in active combat putting your life on the line to protect your fellow soldier if not then you don’t deserve special treatment.

Elanor Roosevelt viewed the troops in a hospital. Demand they stand at attention as she represented the president. Men who had to have two orderlies hold them up. Only soldiers who did not have to were those who were unconscious.

My husband is in the military (Army). Has been for 32 years now. He earned every accolade, medal, honor and rank he's been awarded. When we go to a restaurant or somewhere that offers "military discount" he won't ever bring it up, because he says "I get paid to be a soldier; I don't do this for free". Why some people try to say "you'll address me by my husbands rank!", I'll never understand. So you're telling me you never achieved anything in your life and you have to piggyback off your spouse?? That is a sad excuse of a human being. I get supporting your spouse while they're achieving their dreams, and I will admit that being a military wife can be very difficult at times, but I'll be the first person to tell you that there is no way I could do what my husband has done- 120 degree desert heat? Sandstorms? Firefights where you're praying you don't die and can get back home? IEDs lurking everywhere and you're praying you don't step on one or drive over one (like my brother did)? (Cont'd

Sad thing: General's wife goes to PX - private parking space. Goes to clinic - come right in. General retires. General's wife is just another retired officer's wife, no parking privs, no more head of the line anywhere. Sad.

In no civilized society, this even is an issue. You're a person of your own ... if there is nothing more than some job title of your husband, maybe you should consider changing something ... like, actually be somebody.

Snort!

Even having spent years living on military institutions as a military wife, I NEVER heard of this here in the US. Wives were wives...

Probably in the US, the spiritual home of entitlement. Here in the UK that sort of snobbery probably died out after the Napoleonic Wars.

"It's job security"... BS

No, and I don't care.

Ugh yesssss especially when they ignore you when you stand up for them

because they don't think other people will do things back

"Nobody will believe you because you're a man" - Heard

because they want a car to hit them

People do this? lol Some people really suck.

They're still developing their work ethic... be patient

I give mine to the crows to smoke, while they play cards on the rooftops.

That’s what trash cans are for.

i don't think the devil would even take them

Sit down, shut up, and wait

This is how I judge people. Are you willing to take 30 seconds to do a small act that will make other people’s lives easier? No? Not your problem? Ok cool, noted. Definitely noted.

Always these days. I haven’t said anything with them because of how much I get interrupted every 3 seconds.

i would want to smack them

The world will be a better place when different people of different religions don’t harass each other because of their beliefs

You go Glen Coco 💪

Sign of an abuser. “She did it! She drove me to hit her!” No a*****e, she didn’t. You chose to hit her, instead of walking away and cooling down.

This offends me and you should be fired for writing this.

Or fork out the big bucks for a private lesson. And remember to tip your instructor, whether you're in a group or a private.

Or a crappy car... either way, it's rude

"Oh, I knew you wouldn't care" But that's not the point

Tell them in that case you need a raise or your going on strike.

Traffic jam, the ER, sitting on a delayed flight, etc.
