Do you live near your childhood home, or have you moved away?

I do, but I rarely go by there to check on the house, but I have moved home since, it seems like whenever I get sentimental about wanting to go nobody cares to go with me to see what has happened to my old neighborhood or my house so I never end up going, but it is nice to be around where I grew up, I always move away, but yet I always come back here for some reason!

no i do not live in my childhood home ,as my father had a transferrable job we had to move every three years he go transfer and the process continues but now i live in my college hostel

I live next door to my childhood home in my Dad's sisters house. I lived away for many years until my Dad & his sister both got old and very sick. I was divorced at the time, so I moved in to help them both. They've both passed on and I'm still here 15 years later, lol. I still don't attend the church I was brought up in, it's changed way too much. They say you can never go home again, and I often think that's kind of true. This area used to be mostly farms, and now it's mostly housing developments with McMansions on them bordering the farm lands. I used to know everybody in town, now I hardly know my neighbors because they're all new and transplanted from the city. How times change!!

No I live no where near lol as I was born in Germany and I live in the UK so no I do not go back as that would work out quite expensive for me My Daughter and I are planning a trip to Germany next year so we will see I have to see how Gissi goes as I do not know how he will react to me being away for 6 Days and I am really worried about that even though he will be stopping with my Son and his Partner

I live approximately 300 kms away from my child hood home. I was brought up in Port Augusta, an industrial city in the north at the top of Spencers Gulf. At the time the population was around 15,000. I left home when I was nearly 18 to go to University. After 3 years of Uni, I got a job teaching at Kadina, a small farming community about 150 kms from Adelaide. After three years there, I moved back to Port Augusta & taught there for 7 years. After this, I moved to Adelaide to teach, & have started here ever since. I am not likely to move, as my daughter has better opportunities here.

I guess you could say I grew up here. From birth until I was 11 yrs old we lived right across the alley from my Grandparents house, which is the house I live in now. So I spent a whole lot of my childhood in this same house. A year after I moved into this house, on the 4th of July no less, I watched my childhood home across the alley burn to the ground. Sad and horrible sight to see. Thank goodness nobody was living in it at the time. It's strange that I've lived in 5 other states up to 900 miles away and somehow I always ended up right back home. And now that I own my Grandparent old house it looks like I'm stuck here for a long time to come. Home Sweet Home :D

I live in the same area that I grew up in. We never had a steady home when we were growing up. But, we did stay in the same state and county.

I live far away from where I was born. During the summer I usually go visit my family in Wisconsin where I lived for a long time.

I don't live close to my childhood home. I am in Minnesota and I was born in Dearborn Heights Michigan. I still go back every other year to visit my brother and my sister-in-law though. I drive by my old house also looking at it and recalling all the good things I recall and of course the bad memories as well. Still 2 neighbors still live there. One is in her 90's and I called her Aunt Gladys. Still kicking in the same house. Well not kicking but using a walker etc. hahaha!! HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

I had to go by there for a while when I worked right across the street from it. But I didn't like going back since it doesn't have many happy memories. My family was fine, but the events that happened over the course of my childhood were not ones I like to remember. The church I went to is right across from my childhood home, and I don't want to go back their either. I saw it while I worked, and that was enough.

Well i did move away from my childhood area when i was 17 years old, and just a few months back at the age of 34 i returned to live in the same area. It is strange, but i do feel at home. It is really nice here, and although i was planing on only staying here for a few months due to my studies, i do consider a possibility of staying here. It is also very important to me lately, to be close geographically to my parents and brother which lives near by.

Bon Jovi has a song on their "Have A Nice Day" album called, "Who Says You Can't Go Back" or atleast I think that is the title, I don't have the CD handy. Anyhow, the song is about going back to his childhood home. It is funny but when I long for home, I don't think of the town that I grew up in. While I did have a lot of good memories there, but when I long for home I think of the place where we use to go on vacation every year. I think that other than those 1 week vacations, I only lived there for about a year shortly after I was born. It just seems strange to me that I think of that area as my home.

Hello! My dad's job is like that that we can't live at one place for more than 7 years. So, from my birth, I have been to three places. Right now am in the third place. So, I don't live near my childhood home & I never went back. But I keep visiting my hometown once in a year & visit all relatives place...vani^_^

I was born in Croydon in England and lived there as a child, moved to a small quiet seaside village on the south-east coast when I was 11 though. Havent visited my childhood home since I have been down here.
