My how times have changed, it's sad. I think they hopefully just finished their last move out today (still need to move in to the new place). That was a huge deal, they'd been there for 17 years, filled 3 54' semi containers, 2 vehicles, and my garage :shocked: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-times-did-your-family-move-before-age-18/page/2#post-1852089 Sat, 06 Sep 2014 23:45:42 +0000 808love 1852089@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>About 12 times. I've always been able to make friends very easily but had a tough time learning to form and value long-term attachments. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-times-did-your-family-move-before-age-18/page/2#post-1852071 Sat, 06 Sep 2014 23:03:51 +0000 Iced Tea 1852071@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I remember 8 moves, but I'm pretty sure there were more.

(Different states). It sucked not being able to spend those "transitional" summers with friends. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-times-did-your-family-move-before-age-18/page/2#post-1851720 Sat, 06 Sep 2014 15:38:01 +0000 Miss Ariel 1851720@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never for me.

Including 3 countries. But as horrible as it sounds it meant I could adapt to any situation and surrounding fairly easily. It's crazy they did that though.
