UPDATE:

My mom ended up calling me and apologizing. She and my dad are rather old fashion. I will be the first woman in my family to be in the military and they didn’t know how to wrap their heads around it. All is good now. (:

I’m fulfilling a dream I’ve had for a long time and enlisting.

My husband and I have prayed about it and I’ve chosen to go into the National Guard so I am able to be home for the most part and so my husband doesn’t have to quit the job he is loving.

Well, I called my parents (I’m 21) and asked them to bring in my diploma and such, well, I had had a talk with them awhile back about some issues going on between my husband and I because I was seeking advice and counsel.

I mentioned I wanted to still enlist even after all of this time and that my hubby was cool with it as he just got out of the Army himself.

They clung onto the problems we were facing (understandable) and when I called today for those things I was met with

“What? You don’t want to do active duty? We are disappointed. I don’t know what else you expected.”

I’m discouraged don’t get me wrong but more thank anything, I want to ask if it is unreasonable that I am irritated at their reaction.
