| Marija--I have moved alot. I am 41 and I have moved 14 times, averageing 2.9 years in one place. So yes--it is a lot of work to maintain friendships. First with my family growing up and now with my husbands fast paced career. My family is all I have and we are very close. The positive side is that I have seen a lot of places in this world. ↑ |
i love travelling....i was an army brat so i know what its like to move...LOL
i have attended too many schools i cant remember!
but it is nothing for me to uproot and follow my nose.
A home is where you make it.....my friends may be far...but when we talk or see one another...it is like i live down the road :-))) ↑ |
| What is the longest amount of time you have lived in one place? Five years for me. ↑ |
| Moving with the military it seems like you would be surrounded by people in the same situation--making it a very tight knit community. Moving was very isolating for me. ↑ |
we moved here 7 years ago...but i was stationary in melbourne for probably 10 years...dont do so much travelling as in moving households...just moving people.
and your right about the army community...even though i was young...my father went in at 17 and came out at 37....hes now 67 so i did all the travelling when i was very young...but we uprooted from nz to australia on a whim of my mothers...she put in for a job for my dad...he got it ...we moved.....we didnt know anyone here in australia. ↑ |
| why did you feel so isolated....ive always found moving an adventure....a blank page ↑ |
| Once our daughter entered school I did not want to move at all. I know how hard it can be on children. Our daughter was in the same school from 2nd to 7th grade. I am hoping that we stay here until after high school. I do not think I could move her again. This is her favorite place she has lived. It would kill me to do that to her. My husband is in a place in his career that another move should not happen again. He travels all over the world and he is working out of the company headquarters so I really do not see them moving us again. He is in China this week, later in the month he is going to Australia (Sydney). ↑ |
| Marija--I do not know what it was like for you always going to a new school. For me it was very hard always being the new kid. I even moved in my senior year and graduated with kids I just met. ↑ |
ahhhhh i followed in my mothers footsteps...i was never shy...i was always wanting to know about people...talk to anyone...the class nerd or the class clown...popular or unpopular, never mattered to me ...i found everyone interesting....hehehehe
i was just plain nosey...LOL
thats why every move was an adventure...LOL
ask my sister the same question....totally different answer...she hated it!!!! ↑ |
| I moved my 8th grade year and again my junior year so It wasnt easy...But kinda cool being the new girl too....It was harder for me to more in 8th grade because I never lived anywhere else...By my junior year It wasnt a big deal. ↑ |
