[quote=Anonymous]My DH grew up in a military family, usually moving every 18 months, so a few times they moved in the middle of the school year. He said it got harder as they got older (the last move was in the middle of 7th grade, so not a great time for most kids anyway). But all in all he speaks positively of it.  He has seen so many places, and he and his family all reminisce about their different postings.

Neither he nor his oldest sister are in touch with any friends from before high school but we live 5 miles from where I grew up and I am only in touch with one friend from before high school, so it’s not so different (and FWIW that friend lives 800 miles away).

He is fairly rooted at the moment (probably because he’s married to boring me!) but his sibs move all the time - one SIL has lived in three different countries and three states since I’ve known her and the other has lived in I think 5 states in that time. So it does seem to lead to adults with wanderlust (not that that’s bad!), although maybe it’s genetic and that’s how his parents ended up living that life in the first place! [/quote]
