married to a man who is in the military and is assigned overseas like many women today are?

I tell you the best option are the grandparents or siblings who are lucky to be home.

Here is an option I like that the Germans do. The government pays a kindergeld (not sure of the spelling) because their is a shortage of German born children. If a woman works full time when it comes times for her to have her baby they give her time out and she stays out at half pay for 9 months. The have excellent daycare where children learn.

They love children.
