Do you get given a hard time for the things you did pre DH and pre kids???
I am forever given a hard time about my time with "army guys" before I "settled" down. I know I was a bad girl in my late teens (I sometimes wonder how I didn't get pregnant or catch anything) with guys in general and did things I really shouldn't of done (I spent a bitof time in the army barracks in Linton). But they happened a good 10 years ago and the guys I spend time with here in Waiouru give me a hard time about it everytime we have a few drinks.
Why can't people get over it???

I know it happened tonight and they guys kept going on about the engineers I did in 2000. I don't know if it because they are engineers too, who knows.

at them Mummy Becks, I bet they wouldn't do that if you were a guy!
... and I'm guessing that would happen a bit more within the military, would you say? From my experience, people in the Army have long memories! And the community is too small!
(And to answer your question, no I don't get a hard time because I was too much of a good girl!)

I tell ya, theres something about guys in an army uniform... I never stop perving at mine when hes in his purrrrr (except after a field exercise!)
Do they do that cos they know both you and the guys? So they think its ok to make jokes?
I STILL get called a boozehag/partygirl even though I haven't had a drink since 1983 (so it feels like!) *sigh* those were some gooooood times

I am still remembered as the crazy girl.... I was a lot of fun to be around, and had a very unique look (nearly waist length cherry red hair and tattoos in interesting places) so I am not easily forgotten... the words I dread most are "do you remember the time..." nobody would dare to be outright rude though, I also had a reputation for being a pocket rocket with a short fuse - I have mellowed a lot with age, and experience has softened me, but small towns have long memories, so I almost feel I have to prove that I am now a real live grown up.

I get away with only cause I don't live where I grew up and nobody knows, DH know I was a bit of slapper before I met him he tamed me now I'm old, boring and married. But then so are the other girls I used to hang out with - we all grow up in the end. Not sure about Army guys thou, some of them seem pretty immature.

I'm married to an Air Force serviceman and I don't get hassled, but then his friends and work mates didn't know me before I was with DH. I moved towns to be with him. I did however have several affairs within the navy it was loads of fun.

The people I am around now don't tend to say much because it's a slightly tender subject for some of them (I met most of them when I was going out with DH's best friend...who is no longer his best friend...  ). But sometimes it comes up yep, especially when we are talking about other people from the times.
One of DH's friends had HUGE difficulty being happy for DH when we first got together, becaue all he could remember was me being a pretty nasty girl in my mid to late teens, with alcohol, guys and other stuff. He got to know me though, and realised I'm not that girl anymore.
