Only one big move to another city, but there were a lot of moves within each town. I hated it (moving schools, etc.) and hope to never make my kids go through it. When I buy a house - it's going to be a forever house!

I don't want my kids to have that same experience. I want them to feel like they have roots and have the ability to maintain friendships from early childhood.

We moved from another country to the US before I was 2, across the US when I was 5, across the US again when I was 8, and across town when I was 11. After I graduated high school, my folks moved across the country again. I went to college across the country (in the opposite direction) and moved several times locally during that stretch, then moved cross-country again (but not close to my folks) for grad school (and moved 3 times locally before moving in to our house. When my husband completes his grad school, we'll likely move (across country) again.. I remember as a kid, I couldn't believe that most of my friends never lived anywhere else! And so 'weird' for them to have their grandparents or aunts/uncles in the same town. Turns out I was the weird one! I think it made me more independent and eager for change and adventure. When people say they don't want to move to a new city because they're afraid, I never understand why - sure it's different, but hey. New experiences are.

(11 if you count the year long exchange to England that my family did when I was in grade 5) My parents liked to build houses so we would live in a rental for a while, then move into the new house, then sell it and move into another rental while they built another house. My parents have since moved a bunch more times, and so have I.

I'm not super familiar with the areas up there since I was so young but my brother has lived in multiple areas around Detroit (Farmington Hills, Livonia, etc) and I have family out near Kalamazoo and Grand Rapids I believe. My mom grew up out near Kalamazoo in a small town. From what I remember, I was born in Wyandotte. heffalump on "Did you move a lot when you were younger?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-move-a-lot-when-you-were-younger-1#post-494480 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 15:41:56 +0000 heffalump 494480@https://boards.hellobee.com/ My parents moved into their house before my older sister was born.
