It is challenging for me to be a military child because you have to move to different places every 2-3 years. That is one of the biggest reasons why it is challenging for me to be a military child. Sadly, you also won't be able to see the service member in your family that often.They will always be busy and barely be able to see you. My dad has been so busy for so many years he could only come to 3 of my birthdays and I'm 11! That is pretty sad for me.
Usually when my dad is home we value and spend all that time together science he is gone so much. When we are moving to a different place , my mom, my brother and I usually leave really early. So we can visit family, look for a new house early, and we join school when there is a new school year instead of joining a school in the middle of the year and being behind. Although I love traveling I really miss my family. You can also not be able to see your long gone friends that much. That is why being a military child is hard for me. I hope you had a nice time listening to my reasons. Have a nice day.
