What small things do you miss about living at home with your parents?

I was thinking about tomorrow morning, a lazy Sunday doing a bit of cleaning and washing, and a bit of gaming with the house mate. And it struck me. When I get up I have to boil the kettle and wait to make a tea or coffee. When I was at home there'd always be a pot of coffee and usually tea on the go. It would be but a minute after waking up and I'd have a cup of tea (with a smoke.) Now I have to wait for the kettle to boil and make the cup of tea myself. It's no big deal but I now realise how such a small thing made mornings a fair bit better.

Me MA washing me Jizzemed sheets

I'll tell you when I leave

The open fire in the winter and the smell of my dad's pipe.

iffy_2007

Having teenager worries, adult worries suck!

Duff

Having clean cutlery, constantly.

Jhcx

If dinner is not cooked for me i dont get to eat for that day
So thats usually where Saturdays i starve cause nobody will feed me i miss out on the rashers and sausages. So i refuse to move out of home

DesperateDan

Food prepared and cupboards full of junk food, oh and bed made / washing done.

When I wash my own clothes I tend to ruin them, I mean who the hell knows what those symbols on the label actually mean?

fasttalkerchat

Having food in the cupboards all the time. I forget to shop now that I've moved out.
Washing and cleaning and some of the cooking is done by the girlfriend so I'm not really fending for myself.

I miss brushing my mother's hair and painting her nails while she strokes my hair and tells me what a good little boy I am.

Jaysus, you let it wash into all the other clothes :eek: Thought people throw them away...

SusieBlue

Having someone to look after me when I'm sick.

Fresh home cooked meals three times a day, so different to the packaged frozen shít I regularly serve the boyfriend.

Clean clothes - I always avoid doing washing until I literally have no clothes left. Horrible habit!

The open fire in the sitting room and the fridge that unlike my own, always has yummy stuff in it.

I miss living at home

Praetorian Saighdiuir

Bitty!

Chuck Stone

I don't miss being beaten for clapping out of beat when we were busking on the street for pennies and dimes.

stek

as a kid-
the open fire
Christmas eve night
staying up to watch late late toy show
playing and fighting with me brothers and sisters
pocket money day= sweets
the back garden

as an adult-
I can honestly say, nothing. Had to stay with them for a few weeks recently..

monkeysnapper

Don t miss home one bit' no central heating, having to make fire every morning, my mum making every meal swimming in lard, living by a road that e ery time a truck or bus passed it was like a earthquake , sleeping in a bed 2 feet from window that had ice in the window on both sides. Huge car park outside that all the trucks reving their engines at 5 am . Members of a community that would set up in car park and then kids would steel anything that wasnt welded tp the ground, and chuck all their rubbish (dirty nappies) outside our house.

I love living in my new built house in the country, im a very smug git!!!!

Annasopra

The food my Mum made was just delicious. My evil stepmothers cooking is rotten.

mauzo

I miss the constant flow of people there at the weekends.

My mums house always has loads of people in it, aunts, uncles, brothers, cousins, children running around. Went yesterday and had a huge water fight with my brothers and the kids.

The cooking, would love a Mammy Sunday dinner right now

Darkginger

Someone else paying the bills

Oh I mean the stressful process of actually putting the sheet on a duvet. The only way I can do it is by pretending I'm a ghost, I literally know no other way

Try a duvet cover, they're designed for it:D.

I miss not having bills.

spankysue

Things I miss, the endless supply of clean plates and cutlery, washing done and ironed for me (in fairness to me mam, she did keep doing that for a couple of years even after I moved out )

Things I don't miss, having to account for every minute of my day to her and eating dinners where the main ingredient isn't always mince.

I miss my dog.

I had a magic laundry basket when I lived at home! It was great. All I had to do was put any dirty clothes into this basket, wait about 3 or 4 days, then they'd magically re-appear in my wardrobe; washed, dried, ironed and aired. It was class. Best laundry basket ever.

Sadly, when I moved out, I wasn't allowed take that laundry basket with me, and I've yet to find a model that does what my old one did... It just overflows. I shout at it, try to bribe it... nothing works. I miss it...

jessiejam

My dad used to cook the meat for sunday on a saturday night. We used to have a mini sunday dinner on a sat night on a small plate. It was usually bacon and cabbage. It was yum.

aaronjumper

The cooked food and made bed.

marshbaboon

I never missed anything about home.

NOTHING.

Milk!! Not worrying if i have milk or if it is gone off

I know what you mean. I go through a litre with dinner alone and when I move out I think it would be more efficient to have my own personal cow out back.

Got to love the endless supply of milk at home!

The Cool

Not a whole lot really as my own house is generally better run than my folks'.... But, I do miss the cupboards full of stuff - I can go for a cuppa knowing there'll always be fresh milk and loads of nibbles! Other than that being home for longer than a few days drives me mad!

I never have milk

I miss climbing out onto the roof to have a smoke! Now I can just go outside, not half as fun.

Thats what I do... it works well IMO.

This is the bit I miss.

I know Fags are evil an' all that, but God to have a cuppa with a ciggie in your own home is so nice.

Hmmmmmmmm......, my Wife 'n kids are such a pain in the ass.:D

cassi

Sleeping in total darkness and complete silence. No outside noises or people coming and going and not a pick of light coming through the curtains Also being able to look up at a sky full of stars on a clear night. Gah i miss the countryside at times

rather have no milk than having the false notion of having milk and going to hassle of making tea and then pouring in milk only to have it come out "in chunks"

my heart drops every time this happens

I used to miss having my clothes washed for me...:pac:

Jesus you were lucky. Any clothes i wanted washed since i was about 12, i used to put them in a basket on the landing. They would be washed and dried and dumped in a pile on my bed. My mother used to iron my school uniform but that's it. Anything else i had to iron myself..

Sauve

Coming home from school on a winters' day to a warm house and the smell of dinner cooking.
If it was freezing/snowing outside, mam would always get up really early, light the range and have our school jumpers warming on it, with a big pot of ready-brek bubbling away.
You'd be warm for the day

shruikan2553

Not having to worry about shopping.
Not having to put aside an hour in order to cook and eat dinner.
They have their perks though, get to eat whatever I'm in the mood for instead of whatever was made.
Clothes being washed, dried, ironed and put back in the wardrobe
Bed being changed and made
Out of something? Tell mum and it would appear soon.
Not having to worry about rent and bills.
The house being clean
Someone to wake me up and drive me to school (now college)

Aglomerado

Loads of lovely hot water for soaks in the bath. (I have to plan ahead with the immersion in my place)

Hopping around outside the one bathroom bursting for a wee waiting for someone else to finish. (probably related to the first point above)

Mr Benevolent

Not working. I really, really hate working but there is one major advantage - money.

Corvo

Decent food.

I'm pretty handy at cooking but it was always the best settling down to a big dinner after a day of work. That food had me as fit as fiddle. I never went above about 9.5 stone and I was healthy out.

Now I'm a beer bloated, pizza eating slob who hasn't got the energy to stay up past 9 o'clock.

I want to go home.

mikemac1

Pixies in the utility room. I'd throw a big bag of washing in there and next time I saw it was washed and ironed.

Pixies
My little guys

Feisar

A well stocked fridge and press. I usually buy enough for the week and think out what meals I'll have and get stuff for lunch but at home there just seems to be stuff I can turn into meals.
