This makes me MAD!

There is a new Facebook page called Overly Sensitive Military Wives. I understand the idea behind the page. It is basically against women who marry men in the military to get the benefits, don't work and complain a lot. Going through the page though it is a bunch of people who are complaining about military wives having bumber stickers on their car in support of their husbands, or military wives wearing hoodies with certian expressions on them or military wives who are over weight. In fact people will take a picture of someone at the PX that they consider a "Dependopotomus" (an overweight dependent. Depend=dependent Opotomus=Hippo.) and post it on their wall for everyone to make fun of. They do not bother to get to know they person they are making fun of, they just sit back and pass judgement on people. It makes me so MAD.

Apparently the filter I used to have is broken and because of that I had to post on their wall. The following is what I said:



I cry because I miss my husband, I sometimes don't feel like changing out of my pajamas. I spend my husband’s money and I am overweight. I have stickers on my car that say I support my husband and I have an ACU bag that I made and carry around. I guess I am an OSMW.


On the other hand, I get up every morning and go to class or work, I am on a 7 day schedule where I don't have days off. When I do have a day off it is nice to not have to get dressed and just be lazy for a change. I spend my husband's money on OUR bills that we have in order to live and I contribute to the income with my part time job. I have a thyroid problem and PCOS that causes weight gain and a broken back that makes working out difficult. I like the stickers I have, it shows people I support and love my husband and yes, I like my ACU bag, it is from something my husband wore and reminds me of him. And yes, I cry because I miss my husband, it is natural to miss the man you love, if you didn't cry at some point or if you didn't miss your husband perhaps there is something wrong in your marriage. When my husband married me I was the same person I am today and I married my husband before he was in the Military. Go ahead, judge me if you want.


So far all the comment have been along the lines that I do not understand where the page is coming from and all I can do is sit here and shake my head. Going through the post I understand perfectly. The women on there are being the very wives that they are making fun of. Why can't people just let people live their lives?
