B.A.W.S. are you suffering from B.A.W.S.?

I'm sure by now your wondering what BAWS is lol.  Bitchy Army Wife Syndrome.  Its amazing to me the way some of these women act.  Honestly I feel bad for them and their husbands.  I belong to a lot of forums and a couple of facebook pages that have a lot to do with Army wives.  Going into this I figured no one would understand this new crazy life better than other people going through it, but I'm started to feel like most of the women are BITCHES!  I know thats harsh and probably not true for all that many, but I can't help but wonder.  I was reading a post the other day about how some wife was annoyed with others wives that she didn't know wearing their husbands PT uniforms.  This post had 69 comments on it.  These comments had my jaw on the floor.  It went from venting to being down right nasty to eachother.  One women couldn't get past hating on "Fat Wives"  and really fat people.  One wife couldn't get passed wives not looking perfect every momment of every day.  They started attacking eachother.  I was super shocked.  These are women who will be living down the street from me.  I'm trying to keep in mind that a lot of these women are also new to adulthood, but still when are women going to stop attacking women and start to support eachother?  Why are we so judgemental of one another.  It makes me sad and scared to be moving to a place where women have no problem attacking one another.  I'm going to keep a positive outlook and give everyone and equal chance, but if they are suffering from BAWS I can tell you we won't be friends.

  1. Ha ha ha ha ha! Well BAWS could stand for Bitchy Air Force Wife Syndrome too. I can definitely relate! You never really get used to it. I make it my form of entertainment now, because some of these "women" are super comical. Don't worry and be positive. You'll also meet super awesome women too!
