What do you miss the most after moving away from your parents' place?

I been missing home cooked food. My family is blessed with good cooking skills, right from my grandma to my mom, I dont know if its passed on to me, since I hardly cook myself. Anyway, I really miss the weekend food. My mom used to go to the market early morning and buy fresh ingredients for breakfast, whilst lunch is underway. Normally we laze around outside the house and have barbeque / grill foods in evening courtesy of either my brother or of course mom. The dishwashing is done by Dad so I dont really have much to be proud of. But these are one of the things I miss the most, not to mention that I can actually request my breakfast from mom and not just choose from the menu everyday with not much choice. Unfortunately I have to wait another couple of months to be home again.

Hi! Welcome to myLot. In our culture we dont move out of our parents house unless we are getting married and having our own families. Some even dont move out at all thats why there are lots of extended families here. If I did move out, the thing that Im going to miss in our home is my room. Its my sanctuary. Im going to miss my bed most of all because I love to sleep and sleep is the only luxury that I cannot give up, along with food of course.^_^ I practically live in my room and its where most of my creative juices are flowing that I am able to cram for projects with just a few hours to spare.^_^

Yeah, same here. I moved few years back when I started to work outstation and then I've got married, I really miss mom's cooking. Frankly, it's the 'home' taste that were in our memories that outside food can't beat. You are lucky that your parent's house is still in close travel distance, for me it'll take 4 hours just to and flow my parent's house. So, I forced myself to pick up some cooking skills so that we don't have to always eat out apart from saving money.

I moved out many years ago but i missed going out into the garden and eating peas fresh from the pod ... and raw runner beans. My parents used to bring a big basket of fresh produce each time they came to stay until they had to move into a place without a garden. My mum still brings me tomatoes and strawberries from her greenhouse.

The golden days of childhood with parents' tender care and love is the thing i miss most,i have been staying outside of home for several years for the course of education,of course ,i go back home at least one time a year,usually during the spring festival,enjoying the happy time with my parents.My parents are getting older, i think it's time to should responsibility to my family.Although they may be kinda outdated in some aspects, still they teach me some basic rules as a kind,tough man and are original source of power to move foward.

haha..i miss my mother's cooking(i am too lazy to cook something decent)...and of cource my mother washing the dishes and doing loundry...:) well, those are just some very small thnig that i miss..the main thing is that i miss that life, miss being a teenager with few responsabilities and lots fo time to have fun

Well! If i move away from my parents, i will miss my parents the most.. My parents have always helped me some way or the other.. If i get way from them, i will miss this helping hand... First of all i would never leave my parents...But some day or the other if i have to leave my parents... then i would ofcourse miss their love.. Yes as you said, i would also miss my mothers cooking..., but then my wife would cook for me..

My mother's warm embrace. She's in an advance stage of Alzheimer already. I moved out since I got married and have kids (these are my twins). Much as I would like to visit them as often as I want, but I'm also tied up with work and my twins' education. But I really miss her so much!

I miss the company of my parents and know what is going on in their day to day lives . I miss sharing and when lonely having someone to talk to . I miss watching the soaps with my mom . Heck I even miss all the silly fights . I sometimes do feel home sick , and even miss their annoying dogs I have been away from home for around 2 years now .

I've been away in my mom's place for 11 yrs. now & there are still times that I miss my mom, she's the best cook I've ever known so imagine how she cooks our food before, I love it! My dad passed away 15 years ago so basically we grew up with mom.... Home sweet home still..we visit my mom once or twice a month only, I live more than 1 hour drive from my mom's place. Whenever we visit her, she cooks for us esp. for the kids.

I have to agree, I miss my parents cooking the most. Although my dad is the cook in the family. When I still lived in the same town I would pop by for dinner at least once or twice a week. Since I've moved I've found myself trying to cook some of the same meals but they're never as good. My parents just came to visit last week and I asked them to make my favorite meals! It was a good week ;)

same to you i am study abroad ,before i going foreign i will never leave my parents now i away miss my parents miss they smile miss my mother's cook father's love ` so i used the msn chat with my parents every week

I miss home cooked food lo. But then I always got go back home and eat. So I don't think this is what I miss most. I miss being dependent the most I think. Back at home, I am very certain that I can sleep in peace, as my father always make sure everything is locked and secured before we sleep. Now that I am married and living elsewhere with my husband, its a different thing altogether, we are responsible for our own house now. There's a checklist we do verbally almost every night before we go to sleep. Is the door locked?windows? switches off?lights off? bedroom door locked?

I haven't moved out yet but I know I'll really miss my Kitty hahaha :) And of course home cooking... not seeing my sister will also be a bummer ... but I'm moving close enough away that I will be able to come home sometimes to visit.

hi redsponge.. what i actually miss is that somebody will... ...cook for me... ...wash my clothes... ...clean my room... ...will wash the dishes... ...will iron my clothes... and of course there are times that you will miss the sermons of your parents and i miss also the times that my sister and i quarrels..LOL.

I miss my mom for her love and care that she gives me when I am with her. Ofcourse mother's cooking is the best and all time favorite. She knows what we like and does it for us. I was married 2 years ago and since then I have been away from her. We meet during some festivals or over the weekends and spend time with each other.
