davyboy Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Where do you call home? For me it was where I lived with my Mum and Dad, even when I married and moved away. Aways said, "I'm going home " when I visited them.They lived in the same house for 45 years or more. Then when they both died "home" didn't have the same meaning. IS home where your parents are /were? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have lived abroad in the forces and down south in the midlands but whenever i thought of home , i was thinking of "Sheffield" in general Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaati Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Home is where my mom is. Which is the place we are living now. When she goes...well it won't be home anymore. No place would be home to me at that point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IS home where your parents are /were? That's probably because of the security you felt growing up there for all those years with your parents. It's rare people spend such a long time in a house these days, it really is a last generation thing, unless you are a council tenant. These days people don't even spend 25 years in the same house.

medusa Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Home for me is my house in Sheffield. I've been here longer than I ever was in my parents' house, even though they still live in the same house we grew up in. My family specialise in staying in the same place for a long time. My grandparents' house has recently been sold after they are both gone and they bought that house in 1946. My parents have been in the same house since 1966 and I've been here since 1992.

Isabelle Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 I've lived in Sheffield for nearly 12 years and it has felt like home to me for a long time. I've been to visit my hometown a few times. It's strange, it feels like nothing there has changed since I left, I forget how long it has been since I left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just goes to show how a house becomes such a large part of your life. No wonder people are calling for minimum three year tenancies, there's too much insecurity about with shorthold tenancies.
