In reply to the discussion: How many times have you moved in your lifetime? [View all]dixiegrrrrl
(60,010 posts)15. More than 100..way more..
Often as a kid, we would move up to 3 times in a year.
Actually, there were various kinds of moves:
town to town
state to state
even, once, Mom moved us kids to 3 different apts. in the same building.
and at least 5 moves in one town
Plus the moves to live with Grandma anywhere from a summer to half a school year, many times.
On the plus side, I got to know my home state very very well, since I lived in most of the towns in it.
Downside, really tuff to keep up with school demands.
Longest time spent in one house.....7 years, where I am now, going on what I hope is forever.
Spent 6 years here before a move away and a return move, and those 6 years I lived in 3 different places.

Only 3 times since set out on my own, but too damned many times before I hit 14. It sucked
