Coffee Talk - Ep. 1

Welcome to this week’s episode on our podcast where we will be discussing a unique situation that we are currently experiencing with our children. Military families often move frequently, which is extremely difficult for children to adjust to, especially when it comes to making and maintaining friendships.

We start out talking about the emotions that we are currently feeling when our kids’ first friend is PCSing. Granted our children are around 3, and probably do not realize what is happening. We talk about the emotional toll that kids of all ages can take with a move including feelings of isolation and loneliness.

Then we somehow end up talking about our childhood and the difficulties our children will now have to face. Our conversation made us reflect on what our own mothers must have felt during specific times in our lives, trying to make sure our siblings and us felt at home, granted neither one of us moved like the military kids.
