Should I feel bad?

Question

Should I feel bad for still wanting to join the military after the baby gets here?  The baby is due in Nov and I am determined to be back in the DEP program after the 6 month waiting/healing period. This was an unplanned pregnancy and when I found out, I was set to ship out in 2 months. So my question is is it wrong of me to still want join even tho I'd be leaving my husband to care for our child while I'm in boot camp/a.b.c school? (My husband is also military and we are stationed near his family)

Answer

You can be a mother and still have a career and goals. No, it's not selfish or wrong. Set up a system of childcare so you know at any given time you're gone, someone is there for your child. It will relive a lot of your stress.

It's also perfectly fine if after the baby arrives, you decide not to go or make a different career choice.

As long as you're doing things in the best interest of you and your family, I see no issues choosing either path.
