Story of my life. lol My parents always rented (still do), but why would I care about that? I moved schools (hated having to leave my friends at first), but what broke me was moving back senior year after I just started having an even better life at the new school. The schools I went to in particular had VERY different vibes, so it was hard not to get social whiplash. Even the friends I came back to changed and I had to start over some months into my final year. It's not impossble to get through, but a huge pain in the ass to say the least if you want to get your roots in the ground and work on meaningful relationships.
Same, single mother who hopped from man to man every 6mo. New city, new school. My first full year at the same school was 8th grade when she dumped me at my fathers to move with my sister with a new man and didn’t have room for me.
Killed me as a kid, but as an adult it was the best thing she ever did for me.
She never loved you, anyway. You were a mistake from a night after her divorce, she got a nut dumped in her and every time she looked at you it was a painful reminder. That's why it was so easy for her to dump you.

It really depends on where your family is stationed. It's a lot easier to be the new kid when half the kids there are new kids than it is to go into a school where 90% of the kids have known each other since kindergarten.
You also have the shared experiences of being a military brat and your parents working at the same base to lean into. There is a shared comraderie amongst military kids whether they realize it or not. I'm not saying they all like each other, but there is definitely an us against them mentality when things get rough.
I get what you’re saying, but a lot of the military brats I went to school with were weirdos. I was just normal enough to have a decent social standing despite moving every 1-4 years since I was born and I can echo the sentiment of the responder in the post. I wish I had the lasting relationships my friends did and it was gut wrenching every time I had to leave the people I spent years getting to know. The best thing it taught me was how to fit in anywhere and adapt, but at what cost? Now I’m almost 30, chewed up and spit out by the military both as a child and an adult and I’m shitposting on this app. Life is good now that I’m free from it all and can sew my roots wherever I please. I just want my future kids to have what I didn’t.
Anon2 is being a big pussywillow. I moved 11 times before I turned 15. Some schools were fun, some were bad, some were gay. I had a chance to reinvent myself every time
Stocks don't just "disappear" into thin air during a crash. That only happens if you panic and sell everything (like everyone else is doing, hence the crash).
If you hold something like the S&P500 all the way through a crash, eventually it will recover and continue moving upwards. Sometimes that just takes years.
My grandmother when she was in her 80s gave away pretty much any asset she owned to her kids. On paper she had nothing and owned nothing. She lived to be 97 and was able to live with my aunt (her daughter) until 94. At 94 she had to move to a full time care home. The state paid the whole bill lmao.
My dad was in the army and we moved around a lot even to different countries. His son will be alright. Yes, it's not easy but you don't get attached to anything either. I would say it's a positive to move around
Also helps when all the other kids find your lifestyle completely normal as opposed to being "that new weird kid who isn't going to die in the small town he was born in" yanno?
I can't be the only one who actually enjoyed the experience of going to many different schools - if there was one thing that made me less of an autist, that was probably it, it sure as fuck wasn't playing video games all the time
Yeah I changed more than 10 schools during my K-12 education and while it sucked to lose my friends every time it made me very flexible and adaptable in new environments despite being an introvert.
Depends entirely where you are with your career and what your advancement options are. Renting can give you flexibility to relocate and advance your career/salary more rapidly.
From what I've seen, and what I've encountered. Most kids will choose love over money, and they won't hold being poor against you unless you raised a narcissist or actively contributed to their misery. If you struggled but did it for them they'll hold you up. This is why you see a lot of pro athletes shower their mother with houses and gifts, while they tell their dad to F off.
When you force your kid to endure pain for your benefit, like you hold it against them that they're the reason you're poor, or they owe you, or even worse you drag them off to work as teenagers and pocket your money (which happens in some countries) be prepared to have someone who is so tormented they find it painful to even think about forgiving you or loving you.
The commenter is a burnout with no ability to adapt. I moved every year of my life growing up straight through to 18, it didn't damage me and actually made me more able to adapt to new environments and job conditions compared to friends of mine that lived in the same place their whole lives
Your money matters more than your kid's social circle fuck that little shit he'll live. We have children to serve us and our lives NOT the other way around!
> Curriculum is standardized in the US at the AP level
AP classes are optional ways to get college credit in high school, not part of a high school's mandatory curriculum.
> we have smart phones now
Yes, long-distance relationships have such a track record of success.
AP classes are not just for college credits, they're also the upper track i.e. where your kid should be if you're invested in their education. But not to fret, accelerated courses(the track below that) is all relatively comparable across schools too. I myself hated that track bullshit since it's decided when you're like in the sixth fucking grade and determines what college you get into, but if consistency is what you're after across different schools, they ensure that.
As for long distance relationships - shit I dunno what to tell you man. Short distance relationships fall apart once you introduce distance too.
Well the invading mongols and other tribes were defo considered my new family, just like sis became a part of the new clan and like cousin julius became part of the slave family as soon as he was put on that ship....
