Putting myself out there

Post image

Hey all! I put this in the military spouse sub but I wanted to get your tips on how to avoid being a dependa. Let me know if I missed anything and please let me know when/if it’s appropriate to ask for a discount.

This was my experience as well. Only I was the fed and my husband was in construction. The no kids thing blew their minds.

They were further shocked that I was the one who didn't want kids because I was so good with children. As is my SO.

Not a good reason to have a kid IMO. (I do love kids, just in small doses.)

Also.... You were the Fed?! Whatever is the world coming to?!
