We moved a lot, but a few years ago they moved back into one of the places we lived for 2-3 years when I was in late elementary-middle school. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-parents-still-live-in-the-house-you-grew-up-in/page/2#post-1454477 Thu, 27 Feb 2014 13:09:20 +0000 MaryM 1454477@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not technically.</p> <p>After my dad died, my brother moved into the house we grew up in and he built my mom a smaller home (she calls it a cottage, but I think it's bigger than a cottage!) that's attached to the "big" house by a deck.</p> <p>The house we grew up in was built in 1796 and has stayed in the family, so it was great to keep the history going with my brother, and much easier for mom to take care of a one br. house instead of a 3 bed/3bath one. </p> <p>And she has lots of grandkids there to keep her company </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-parents-still-live-in-the-house-you-grew-up-in/page/2#post-1454453 Thu, 27 Feb 2014 13:04:55 +0000 PurplePeony 1454453@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep! They built it themselves (my dad used to be a contractor) and we moved in just before I turned 3. It's crazy that the house is pushing 30 years old now...yikes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-parents-still-live-in-the-house-you-grew-up-in/page/2#post-1454430 Thu, 27 Feb 2014 13:02:32 +0000 MrsH 1454430@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes.

They've lived in that home since I was 2! It's been in our family since the early 1950's. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-parents-still-live-in-the-house-you-grew-up-in/page/2#post-1454419 Thu, 27 Feb 2014 12:59:34 +0000 lilteacherbee 1454419@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They still own the one I lived in from age 1-16, but we moved (a few miles away) when I was 16. They still live in that house. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-parents-still-live-in-the-house-you-grew-up-in#post-1454367 Thu, 27 Feb 2014 12:47:25 +0000 Mrs. M 1454367@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. They majorly downsized after they became empty nesters. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-parents-still-live-in-the-house-you-grew-up-in#post-1454290 Thu, 27 Feb 2014 12:36:31 +0000 LovelyPlum 1454290@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Greentea: I like new things, too! I get antsy when we're in one place too long. Not to mention, there is so much junk that builds up-I need the forced purging :) But I will admit, I get nostalgic for the places we've lived sometimes. We just finished completely moving out of our old apartment yesterday, and I did have a bit of a hard time leaving. But then we went to the new place, which is home now, and it made me very happy. Home is where we are :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-parents-still-live-in-the-house-you-grew-up-in#post-1454281 Thu, 27 Feb 2014 12:34:29 +0000 LovelyPlum 1454281@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My parents live in the home that we moved into when I was 8. They're not going anywhere for a while!</p> <p>We don't live in a forever home, and I honestly have no idea when we'll even get to that point. My job will most likely take us to a number of different places at first, so I suspect we're probably at least 5-10 years away from being in our forever *city,* let alone our forever home ;)</p> <p>@nana87: jinx :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-parents-still-live-in-the-house-you-grew-up-in#post-1454254 Thu, 27 Feb 2014 12:29:43 +0000 Greentea 1454254@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We lived all over and it wasn't good but not because of the moving, because my mom kept ripping our family apart.</p> <p>I don't believe in or want a "forever home." I want my life to be filled with striving, moving forward, new challenges, places, adventure. Our family is our forever home if that makes sense. :) (I hope I didn't make anyone barf in their mouth. I just mean that the stability of the family unit is my value and preference over an actual place.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-parents-still-live-in-the-house-you-grew-up-in#post-1454225 Thu, 27 Feb 2014 12:23:43 +0000 nana87 1454225@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>no, my brother and his family just moved into it last year! my parents moved into an apartment. it's pretty weird for me, but at least it's still in the family, and my brother is okay with storing some of my stuff since we're in a small apartment ;) we're not in our forever home at all, and will be most like moving cities in a few years. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-parents-still-live-in-the-house-you-grew-up-in#post-1454196 Thu, 27 Feb 2014 12:15:42 +0000 jhd 1454196@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>nope! we moved a few times growing up. my parents are currently in a house they moved to when i was in college. i love their house. i will be sad in a few years when they downsize. ;)</p> <p>we just bought our first home in the fall and i think it is our forever home...or at least we can see staying there until our kids finish school barring any major life changes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-parents-still-live-in-the-house-you-grew-up-in#post-1454157 Thu, 27 Feb 2014 12:10:32 +0000 charmed 1454157@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Same house from birth- 14, then we moved to the house my parents still live in. They're currently building a new house.

The summer after my freshman year, I just came back to a different house with no appointed bedroom for me or my sister! We are living in our transitional house before we move to the suburbs. That will probably be in a few years and will most likely be our forever home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-parents-still-live-in-the-house-you-grew-up-in#post-1453857 Thu, 27 Feb 2014 11:16:32 +0000 Adira 1453857@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! My parents bought that house when I was 2-3 and they will be there forever! And Hubs and I are living our forever home! :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-parents-still-live-in-the-house-you-grew-up-in#post-1453838 Thu, 27 Feb 2014 11:11:08 +0000 Smurfette 1453838@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, we moved about 7-8 times growing up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-parents-still-live-in-the-house-you-grew-up-in#post-1453822 Thu, 27 Feb 2014 11:06:29 +0000 Alivoo01 1453822@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My parents still live in the home we grew up in (we moved there when I was in 5th grade). The house still has my room and my brother's room just the way we left it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-parents-still-live-in-the-house-you-grew-up-in#post-1453776 Thu, 27 Feb 2014 10:57:29 +0000 NurseMommy 1453776@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom still lives there, but now that my dad is gone she will probably sell in the next five years. We moved in when I was two months old. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-parents-still-live-in-the-house-you-grew-up-in#post-1453729 Thu, 27 Feb 2014 10:47:29 +0000 rattles 1453729@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We moved a ton growing up, but our last move was when I was just shy of 12, and my parents are still in that house now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-parents-still-live-in-the-house-you-grew-up-in#post-1453723 Thu, 27 Feb 2014 10:46:22 +0000 cascademom 1453723@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sort of. My brother and I were born in a different state from where my parents were born. We lived in one of my childhood homes from 4-10 years old. I may have the dates wrong on that, but that's the house I remembered a lot before we moved. Next weekend, I'm hoping to catch a glimpse of it when we were in my hometown for a wedding in that city. </p> <p>Then, my parents moved back to where they're from when my dad was offered a job there. The house they bought when I was 10 years old is the house they're in now. It's dramatically different from when we first moved there 24 years ago since they've done a ton of renovations on it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-parents-still-live-in-the-house-you-grew-up-in#post-1453722 Thu, 27 Feb 2014 10:46:14 +0000 HellOnHeels 1453722@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup! They will stay there until they're old and decrepit. We are in our forever home for now, unless DH changes his mind to build a new house in the future. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-parents-still-live-in-the-house-you-grew-up-in#post-1453721 Thu, 27 Feb 2014 10:46:09 +0000 AmandaB8 1453721@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup. My parents bought their house when I was a month old. They'll live there until they die...and then I'll have decades of junk to go through. :\ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-parents-still-live-in-the-house-you-grew-up-in#post-1453708 Thu, 27 Feb 2014 10:41:42 +0000 Mamaof2 1453708@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom does! And I am the only one who has their room just as they left it - the other bedrooms were made into a sewing room and a guest room </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-parents-still-live-in-the-house-you-grew-up-in#post-1453706 Thu, 27 Feb 2014 10:40:45 +0000 LuLu Mom 1453706@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, although they have been talking about downgrading to a smaller house now that we are all out of it. They live on an acerage and it's a lot of mowing/upkeep. My sister and BIL would like to buy it but can't afford it right now, so I think they will eventually move in once they can afford it and mom and dad will move into town. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-parents-still-live-in-the-house-you-grew-up-in#post-1453522 Thu, 27 Feb 2014 10:10:26 +0000 bushelandapeck 1453522@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My parents are divorced but my dad still lives in the house I grew up in. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-parents-still-live-in-the-house-you-grew-up-in#post-1453505 Thu, 27 Feb 2014 10:07:21 +0000 dolphin 1453505@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yes, my parents are still at the same house. we are not in our forever home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-parents-still-live-in-the-house-you-grew-up-in#post-1453306 Thu, 27 Feb 2014 09:31:56 +0000 HLK208 1453306@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We moved to their current house when I was about 9, so yes. </p>
