Lindsandbaby Part 5

[Littlewaltz]

Sorry, it's my opinion. No problem if you don't agree.

Lol, I wasn't aware that only constructive comments could be made in here. This site would be lucky to go through 5 comments a day if that was the case. Gasp, the horror!

So it's okay to say a child has a dopey eyed dumb shit look (comments about a baby's appearance) its not okay to call a child a dog? I don't think either is acceptable, I just think it works both ways. Opinion or not, it was rude.

I was saying the father had the dopey dumb as shit look and Andrew looked like him actually. But that's fine, I hear what you're saying and will add your new rule to the ever growing list of what is unacceptable to say. No comments that are rude or not constructive. Got it. Make sure you follow your own rule, Taylor

And this ladies, is the sound of being called out.

I really do think Lindsey is being over dramatic about him going to boot, and being NG. Yes it sucks being apart while they're gone, but its 8-10 weeks. It goes by fast, especially since she'll be in school and taking care of a child. Plus, they call on weekends, and most BC's do Facebook pages with updates. There's worse situations to be in. Plus when he comes home, he's home. They don't have to pack up and move from their families, their life goes on as is. Everyone should know what to expect when their significant other signs the contract. Oh, if his basic runs into thanksgiving/Christmas then they let them go home then come back. I respect Alex for wanting to serve his country and all but I hope that he didn't quit his Pizza Hut job. Hopefully Lindsey won't be getting a 'proud national guard girlfriend' shirt.

My partner isn't in the military but he did work away for 2 weeks at a time (fly in fly out is what it's called in Australia or "fifo" for short) anyway, the first time they're away is the hardest & the build up to them going away, because you don't know what to expect or how you'll handle it. The first time my fiancé went away for work I cried for like 3 days like he had died or something, looking back it was pretty pathetic lol. After that it was easier and I was like "cya!" The worst part was how much my son missed him when he was gone.
I don't think it's fair of people to judge how Lindsey is going to handle Alex going to basic training because everyone handles things differently and this is all new to her. And she is pretty dependent on other people, her mother & Alex mostly, so it will be a shock to her system.

Anyway... Did anybody else notice that she said in Andrews update that she can't remember when braiden crawled? Am I the only one who finds that weird? I can't imagine not remembering my children's milestones. Maybe when they're like 25 but not when they're only 2.

True. I hope she uses this experience to become more independent. When my husband left for basic, it did suck not having his help. She's also very lucky to still have everyone else. I wonder is he afraid to leave Lindsey alone for so long? She always needs someone's attention and affection, I wonder if he's worried about Jared. It'd suck if she 'dear John'd him.

[subject99]

I can see Lindsey cheating on Alex.

[Amelia322]

I wonder how long Andrews with Alex?

[thegooseiscooked]

And this ladies, is the sound of being called out.

Haha good one, littlewaltz, you sure got me good there. At least I can honestly say I am not pretending to be something I am not. And there is the sound of me calling you out.

[Guest]

I actually feel for Lindsey while he's in basic. Lindsey is very codependent. I struggled a ton while my husband was gone and I am pretty independent and was living in paradise on an island while he was gone working party central for many months while he was gone, and even with all that fun and distraction, I hated him being gone.

It could possibly make their relationship readily strong or really bad, no in between.

[ChanelleJo]

I haven't watched a Lindsey video for a long time and, whilst I don't really like to enter into the debate of who Andrew looks like, I must say he does look like Alex.

He has that same dopey eyed, dumb as shit look to him. Sorry to all who were rooting for Jared to be the father, I don't think he is. Jared at least looks like he knows whether its day or night. Alex and Andrew....not so much.

Dopey eye, dumb as shit look? He's a baby. I'm not even arguing Alex's paternity right now but how is that right to say that about a baby? This thread is to talk about Lindsey, not bash her kids...it wasn't even constructive.

Well Gee, we should be carefull. Once we say something about the facebook group sistas WE are going to pay.
they're so cute

Maybe I am wrong, but I am almost positive that those joining the NG go to the same basic training as anyone joining the Army. There are no guarantees for phone calls home, you do not go home for holidays, and you don't hardly talk to family. Lindsey will suffer along with all the other active duty members that go to basic and he will get the same exact training. As a matter of fact, for those 10 weeks, he is considered active duty status and will be paid as active duty for those 10 weeks. He has to meet all the qualifications as those going active duty, fitness, qualifications, classroom, and other training.

So no, it isn't any different than active duty basic; it's the same thing. Someone correct me if I am wrong, but I am almost certain this is the case.

Phone calls are completely merit based, and Lindsey will not be guaranteed any phone calls while he is there except to get his address during the first week, what they call "Reception Week." So yes, in those 10 weeks, she is pretty much without him 100%.

Careful there ChanelleJo and thegooseiscooked. Wouldn't want them to think we are ganging up and becoming buddy, buddy. lol

I'm not sure if I am supposed to be talking to you OhReallyNow.

But hi, buddy!

I'm not sure how long ago your husband was in basic, but it is a lot more relaxed now. My husband went a little over 2 years ago, and they called every Sunday. He would be able to talk for at least 25 minutes. I have pictures of him in his training that drill instructors would post with updates. If their basic fell around Christmas, they receive passes to go home as long as they purchased plane tickets. I never said Alex's boot camp would be any less than any other active duty, but FFS she says they barely see each other. She has her mom and whole family, she's probably pissed that she might have to actually take care of her own child for once.

[thegooseiscooked]

I think she's probably pissed she has to go without sex for once.

But hi, buddy!

I turned off the computer for quite a few hours and come back to a mad house. I can't even see comments, but just from what you guys are saying, it's just the same ol' same ol'.

Remember when we were buddy buddy on the whole Lucy's son debate of wearing girl's close. Man, we sure were close then. Must have been our initiation into the girlfriend's club.

Mine isn't Army, but I do have a family member that just went reserves and it's the same boot camp. While there, we had a friend going through as well, and he got to hold on to his cell phone and call like 6 different times, while our family member could never call. It depends on the drill sergeants. They can be quite the assholes if they want to, lol.

Anyway, it's going to suck with them being apart, but I do wish she would just be honest and maybe give more details of how the separation will be. I think many non-military people believe it is much like active duty, and me not being crazy about Lindsey just makes me believe she is going to soak up the sympathy as much as she can. She is going to lead people to believe what little they know about the military and believe that she is about to be away from him for months on end, when he really isn't. I wish she would be more positive about it, and at least mention "Yeah, he's going to miss some holidays and birthdays, but once he is done with training, it will be mostly back to a normal life."


Her ABSENCE of explanation is what gets me, and if I was ever a prude for comparing my life style to hers, that was the reason why. But heck, I love this life and encourage anyone to join the military, but it's not for everyone, and I accept that.

Thats where Jared comes in.

Exactly, I think she's using it as a way to have sympathy, and anything to get views. I think she also needs to mention to the small (meaning unlikely) chance of him deploying. People for some reason think that once you join that you will automatically go overseas when that is not always true. I do respect Alex for joining though. I enjoy the military life, but some people take it too far. The women with their ACU purses with name and ranks do give me a chuckle though.

[Guest]

She also gets a lot of heat about neither one of them having a substantial job to hold together a family, living on their own, and keep the family fed, housed, and insured. The NG is not going to provide any of that, unfortunately, but I do feel like she is kind of skirting around the topic so the uniformed group of people that may believe the NG is going to be the greatest outlet for security (financially) will get off her back.

Brag bags?! Hahaha I've gotten into it with some military wives because they told me I would be a bad mom for sending my child to daycare while I have a 9-5. They said they sell scentsy/Tupperware/makeup/passion products/etc. because they couldn't possibly leave their children at a "daycare for someone else to raise." Sounds like we may think along the same lines. I hope Lindsey doesn't become a crazy military fiancee/wife.
