corners of the world and in your case it's really true it's they it has

happened yeah it has definitely happened when my husband and I um did decide to go um you know with his job and it was taking him in all these different countries and everything and we decided to also start a family um you know I said to him I said you do realize that this means because it happened to me this means that the children will not be where we are when we stop moving Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely.

No problem.

And, okay, even I, knowing full well that that's exactly what happened with me, you know, my parents moved around.

I mean, I moved to eight different countries when I was between the age of zero to 18, and they then continued moving, and they added two more.

Yeah.

they after their travels they ended up settling in the uk and i was all over the place i went to university in france then i ended up living in in turkey um and then after that i thought you know what okay maybe i need to start being a bit more serious about life um and try and get myself a proper job as we all all think and do it i think i was 28 22 by the time i was thinking about this and um And I ended up going to the UK and that's where I met my husband.

feel like sometimes I'm just looking at my kids now in their early twenties and they, they solve situations and much more quickly and even independently where their peers who haven't had that experience are struggling.

[laughs]

...

I was very drawn to my husband because he was from, uh, Bari, which is in, in the south of Italy, in Puglia.

Uh, he'd never moved anywhere else.

He'd be, he'd lived there, uh, from the age of zero to 25.

His entire family is still there.

That, I was so drawn to that because that, I didn't have that at all.

if, if you have to give advice to somebody who's raising kids as you are, what is one thing that, that is not spoken about or that is not talked about enough about parents raising their kids in, in the kind of way that you did?
