What do you miss the most after moving away from your parents' place? email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 86/100. redsponge (179)   ranked 1,997 out of 27,651 in life4 months ago

We grow up whether we want it or not! One day, we will leave our parents and live on our own. If you have moved out, what you miss the most? Well, I miss my mother's cooking the most. Maybe it is because I am not interested in cooking and never pick up the skills or maybe the outside food just lack off the "home sweet home" taste. Or, maybe it is because of my mother is a great cook!:) To overcome this, I still go back to my mama place for dinner on certain days of the week.;p Tell me, what you miss the most and how you overcome it?

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.

Guess that we both miss mama and her cooking.:) Luckily we stay near to them, I consider that an hour drive is not too far. Do go back often and enjoy the meal. Sometimes, I just feel that it is a way to regenerate energy after a while.:)

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.


myLot reputation of 86/100. redsponge (179)   ranked 1,997 out of 27,651 in life  4 months ago

Well, at least you manage to pick up the cooking skill.:) Next time, it is your daughter that will miss your excellent cooking!

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.^_^


myLot reputation of 86/100. redsponge (179)   ranked 1,997 out of 27,651 in life  4 months ago

Thanks! Haha, before I moved out, I thought I would miss my room the most. But I was wrong! My life is considered simple, I just need a pc that connected to internet and I can spend my days in the room! But, you know? It is so easy to get such a room at any other place. Luckily I do not miss my bed, I cant imagine how to pass the time on sleepless nights. Psst, bring along your bed if you plan to move out! Just in case! Keke

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..


myLot reputation of 86/100. redsponge (179)   ranked 1,997 out of 27,651 in life  3 months ago

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.


myLot reputation of 86/100. redsponge (179)   ranked 1,997 out of 27,651 in life  3 months ago

You are right about the golden days of childhood that we have! I hope your parents will enjoy their old days together with you! I believe that is what we can do for them!

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.


myLot reputation of 86/100. redsponge (179)   ranked 1,997 out of 27,651 in life  3 months ago

*pat pat*
U know? After moving out, I need to think of what to have on every morning! It makes me sick! Hahah...But, I think I am getting used to it after a year! Your mama is great!

Be patient! You are going home soon!!!:)


jenyenh (73)   ranked 5,762 out of 27,651 in life  3 months ago

hahaha.. you gave me hope...I dont even know if I can come home soon.:) thabks for the positive thought.

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.


myLot reputation of 86/100. redsponge (179)   ranked 1,997 out of 27,651 in life  3 months ago

Wow, that's real sweet memory back in childhood! I am sure the tomatoes and strawberries that they brought back taste sweeter!

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;)


myLot reputation of 86/100. redsponge (179)   ranked 1,997 out of 27,651 in life  3 months ago

Glad to hear that! I do think that having a good meal prepared by our parents is like rejuvenation! It makes us feel like we are their little child again! HAHA!

Good points there!
"Miss being a teenager with few responsibilities and lots of time to have fun!"

Try to steal your time on weekend and get yourself in doing things that you miss! I think it will help you stay younger!
