April is the month of the military child!

A month to celebrate and recognize military children and teens. Their lives might be different from those of other kids, but they are resilient and can benefit from military life too. Military life is filled with ups and downs, but these kids are right there beside us as we navigate this life ourselves.

Let’s celebrate these kids with some memes about military kids that will have you nodding along, “I totally get it, too.”

It’s hard to plan when you don’t know where you will be living in a few years.

Yep, sometimes with these kids, cereal is the best thing to serve for dinner.

This really is one of the hardest parts. You need to be there to comfort your child when they are missing their mom or dad so badly. At the same time, you are hurting too.

Yes! Love those Daddy Dolls!

Now wouldn’t that solve so many problems?

The new school year at a new school can be pretty scary.
Be there for your child as they start and go through the process of making friends again.

A week isn’t too long for the military child that is used to having to wait a lot longer.

Yep! Each of my kids was born in a different place!

Seriously! When you have to go months and months without family time, you know how special it really is.

Yep! Such is the life of the military brat.

Yep, even grosser than a dirty diaper.

And when Mom or Dad gets home from the deployment, the kids will get their parent back and there will be nothing but smiles. Seeing them together after so much time apart is a wonderful feeling.

As you make your way through this military life, your kids will be there right alongside you. Be there for them and help them through any struggles they face. Keep them busy when your spouse is away and make memories together, even if someone is missing. They will enjoy talking about the fun they had with your deployed spouse. Remind them that they, too, serve and that they are blessed to be the children of those who have signed up to serve their country.
