I’m 47 and former army brat and former army wife.
I’ve lived in 33 separate addresses but even some of those I moved away and then lived in again at a later date.
3 of those were different houses on the same base as was there twice with dad and once with ex husband
Another 2 were on a different base but again once with dad and once with ex husband
I’ve been at my current address 3 years, the longest I’ve been at one address is 9 years the shortest 7 months.
I get restless and irritable if I don’t move around this point. But it gets harder to cope as I get older.
I’m a demon packer I well remember being about to move into a shared flat with a friend, we each only had one room to pack, she took 2 WEEKS to do hers...she was freaking out when on the morning of the day we were moving I still hadn’t even set up the boxes! Took me 4 hours and that was slow for me!
I can also pack for a week away anywhere using only hand luggage (and even then I won’t necessarily wear it all).
But I have at least one friend who’s only ever lived at her parents and with her husband and they’re only 1 street away from her parents in that house! I cannot imagine doing that it’s so far removed from my experience but then she’s the same with my constant moving.
I think I win?
