It was uncalled for her to make that comment to you, I am sure she is just upset knowing her husband is having to work in 100 degree plus temps. She is making sure that everyone realized the condition that they are working in. I would take it pretty lightly. She should have put it another way and not sounded like she was putting your husbands job down. Some people just speak without thinking of how it is going to sound.

yeah then she got upset when someone else said her marine husband is higher ranked then her air force husband so quit bragging and putting other people's husbands jobs down! then that girl became a hypocrite and told the other girl not to be saying her husband is better b/c he's in the marine corp.

I had to reply to this one, because it made me laugh. I think before these wives should be saying who's higher ranking, should look for there husband's blue jacket manual that has the ranks for all branches then brag, lol. I'm only familar with the Navy, because I'm prior Navy and was married to a Sailor. I'm slowly learning the Army rank since the guard follows it. A lot of the Army stuff is weird and stupid. I know what your talking about when you say E-1 all the way up, but with the actual name, I'm clueless.

We all work hard at our jobs for many reason no one persons job is any harder than others adn liek you say he choose his career in the military we all have the choice of jobs we wanna do i think she should step back and really look at things.
I am thankful of peopel who choose to serve there country this way and proud of them but now you have to look at the politicians that put them in places they do nto belong.

Oh no she didn't! I don't know where she gets off thinking that. I'm right there with you. My man works out in the heat up on a 24 ft ladder painting all day. He comes home after a 12 hour day looking so drained and has what the call rung feet from the ladder. I don't think anyone should judge that one person's job is harder than someone else's, especially when that person hasn't done either job. I don't blame you for being upset. Who is she, God?!? You have a right to talk all you want to. The nerve of some people!

Sweetie don't let her get to you ok she is looking for trouble and being one heartless Person, as far as I am concerned all the Military works hard there is no difference between them apart from Rank and even that makes no different really and yes I am an ex Army Wife myself My Ex Husband was in the Army so I know all about it, my Step Dad was Army
So just ignore her and let her make herself look a fool

that's right. she doesn't have any right to look down on your husband's job. if every husband is working they're azz out in whatever kind of work they have,then, the kind of work doesn't matter. what matters is that they are all working hard to provide for their wife and children. ^__^

So sorry to hear that. Some people can just be so self-righteous at time that they think the whole world revolves around them and their family. No one can really say who works harder. And really, tolerance of the heat varies from person to person. Don't you just wish that moms were more supportive instead of competitive?

I completely understand your frustration...but I wouldn't get too upset. I am sure we all think our boyfriends/husbands are great...lol. I do understand how you feel. My boyfriend also works very hard sometimes in extreme weather. He is now a tilesetter and the job can be very demanding. You know what your hubby does and that is all that matters...

You go girl mgmagana. That is not right that she is comparing your hubby. Because all man work in harder then most. Her husband chose to be in the military. People have to be rude about it. No one needs to be fighting over your hubby's work. Because no matter what it is not going to solve anything.

I would have gotton upset to. My husband works very hard and he puts in alot of overtime so I can be a stay at home mom. I commend the men and women that go into the military but I would never say that their job is harder than someone elses. I think once you are in the military all that power goes to head. Dont worry though what you did was only natural and I would have done the same thing.

Go girl. I agree...there is alot of military wifes out there that think their husbands are Gods because of what they do, not only that, but they also feel they are Goddesses for that reason alone. I was a friend to a military wife and she hated other military wives because most felt incredibly entitled when it was their husbands doing all the work. By the way what is cafemom?
