What Parents Need to Know
About Army Wives
Parents need to know that this drama about military spouses has strong sexual innuendo, some upsetting scenes of a teen physically abusing his mother, and lots of drinking (some in response to post traumatic stress), While current events in the Middle East provide a backdrop for the show, at its heart, the series is a fictional drama about life as an Army wife (or husband) -- not the current war.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about how the media portrays the military. In general, is it positive or negative? How can you tell? Do you think this show reinforces the general public's ideas about life in the Army or dispels them? Families can also discuss the challenges and benefits of living on a military post or base. Also, how do military families cope with having a loved one serving in a war zone? What can communities do to help these families?

Sad and good show people how it goes!!!
i am a army wife... this movie so much show me how wives/husbands feeling and children feeling, my husband is currently in iraq and im takin care of our daugther 1 month old. I learn so much from that movie.. I think it should help wives/husbands who never have been before with army husband. It would 100% help wives/husbands who never been with army who delopyment to iraq. it helpful to watch and see how thing goes on. I hope everything would help new wives/husbands with their delpoyment husband/wives. support our troops and pray our troops safe!!

Not sure how realistic it is, but it's great TV!
I'm not sure how realistic it is, but it's great TV! I can't wait till next season! Not only does this show emphasize the hardships of the enlisted and their spouses, but it also brings light to how the Iraq War has rocked the boat we call our country.

The best summer show on TV
I was active duty Air Force and married to an active duty Air Force Sergeant. While I do see a lot of creative license being taken (the XO's wife is probably not going to be great buddies with an E-2's wife), I see a lot of reality as well. I had friends from all walks of life and worked on projects with the wives of enlisted and officers alike. Yes, by the way we did buy our husband's deployment clothing supplies (me, just cause it was easier to buy mine and his together). The gossip can run rampant, and whether anyone wants to admit it or not, cheating is an issue not only with the ones left home, but the ones on deployment as well. Appropriate fodder for children? No. It would be a huge bore to them anyway. Yes, it's a soapy guilty pleasure for a Sunday night. :)
