Soldier mom refuses deployment to care for baby

[Cutty72]

As a currently deployed soldier I think I have an idea of how it is.
I don't have kids, so I can't truely know what she's dealing with, but I have a puppy

Knowing my mother was already caring for ~14 kids daily with daycare, plus 2 adults that need constant care, she would not have been my primary choice for a caretaker to begin with.
That leads me to believe she either lacks decision making skills, is easily influenced, or just really has no options.

Guess we'll just have to see more of what goes comes out of it.
