Ok I have recently decided to join the military, because i believe it is what is best for my family, and it is somethign i have always wanted, but my mom is really upset over it, will it just take her time to get over it? I am her youngest, and i just had a baby, so i am sure she will miss the baby too.

My parents are slowly getting over the fact that I'm going into the Coast Guard. I'm also the youngest and my baby is 4 years old. So yes at first it is hard on them. There just going to have to get over it. It is a good job that puts a roof over you head and food on the table. With great insurance. Go for it and good luck.

I think she will get over it... if you have just recently decided to join the military then you have a while for training and everything that lies ahead. If you are a single mother that will be hard... maybe let her watch the kid if you are deployed overseas, I don't know what your situation is... you might be married for all I know.... then it's up to the other half of the genetic team to worry about the kid.
Parents will always have that feeling of letting go of the "baby" is the hardest... they will accept it and move on with their life... don't worry.

I went through this both when I joined the AF and then when I crossed over to the Army.
Trust me they will be upset at first but you will change there minds when they see you in the uniform at graduation. The military is a great life and you parents will see that you made this decision and acted on it.

i wish you well, My hubby reenlisted after being out several years, with a wife and 3 kids. His mom felt as if he was abandoning us. I am so proud of him. This military life has been good for us. With you being the youngest maybe alot of it. Just give it time, if she is a grandma that is use to being with your baby everyday that is her way of saying how she will miss her. My mom was the same way when we left. You will be okay. She will soon get use to it.

Sounds to me like she's more worried about your life and that of your child , alot our brave men and women have and still are loosing their lives for this wonderful country. we as Americans Are proud ! Be gentle with her .
P.S. I'm 39 yrs old and I have also answered the call for America , I am just getting started with my recruiter.

perhaps she is upset. because she dosent feel like you have your priorities straight. and you should take care of your baby first.
that would be the right thing to do. but if going to the milarty is what you want do it.

mom will adapt with time. with the war, she's going to worry and not want this. that is normal.
just keep reassuring her that this is what you want to do and what you think is best.
