Hello!
I would like to know if there are any single parents or both parents in the air force with young children to look after? My OH is in, and have really wanted to join for a long while now. Im getting older and so need to make a decision this year. Between us we look after my daughter who is six. What is it like being both in and also juggling the hectic life of having children? I am aware what the job involves but will it take its toll on my daughter? I dont want to push her to one side so I can have the job I really want? How much do you have to rely on third parties looking after them, ie. grandparents, childcare etc. Just generally would like someone with experience who can tell me YES or NO! haha! What makes it worse is that she is the only child, so wouldn't be surrounded by brothers and sisters. The aspect of living on or near a base isnt a problem as we would be doing that anyway with my partner (once we are married).
Any help I would be very grateful!
