Neah! It just means you have GREAT parents who provided you with a TERRIFIC "home life" which provided you with wonderful and cherished memories! I'm happy for you! I think it's something EVERYONE would LOVE to have! Good for you and enjoy your visit!

Not at all, but in many cases, such as my own, "You can't go home again," because my mother has been gone from my life, since 1987. No more mom, and no more Thanksgiving dinners, ever again, because when she passed away, so did my entire family. All I have left is memories of her, and how truly wonderful she was.
This coming Thursday, my Thanksgiving dinner will consist of going by myself to some casino AYCE buffet.
I could dine with friends at their homes (I've declined 4 invitations, thus far), but I would feel like an "intruder" in a way, because their families would be with them, and that would mean that I would not know 90% of those in attendance, nor would I understand 99% of the conversations occurring. ("Well, you would have to know 'Zeke,' to know what I'm talking about.")
If I have enough energy, I might drive over to the Mission District on that day, and work as a volunteer, dishing out food to the homeless people, which I've done in the past.
Nothing I have ever done in my life has been as personally rewarding and fulfilling, as giving food to a very hungry and destitute person.
There, but for the Grace of Gawd, go I.

im glad you appreciate your parents and their home. sometimes you have to be away to appreciate what you have. no that does not make you a baby. grown children with their own children like to come home for thanksgiving too. glad you realize what you have.

no, it's a comfort thing...nobody cares about you more than your parents...they are out to help you, not hurt you. You cannot always say that about friends and acquaintances, plus you get really good food there, lol +5

Kind of,but that's NOT a bad thing.
I think most people would love to feel like that.

Are you kidding me? I STILL cry every time I leave home after visiting for the holidays.
It doesn't make you a baby. It's just an emotion that brews inside of us because that is where you came from. That is your family. Your home.
There's no greater feeling in the world than to see the look on my mom's face when I come home. :)

No. Many adults feel nostalgic around holidays. When I think back on those happy times, I get a little misty myself. What I wouldn't give to have just one more Thanksgiving and Christmas with mom & dad. Appreciate what you have while you have it. Dad's been gone 26 years. My mom passed 3 years ago this week.

I have been DR'd by a few, I'm sorry you don't feel the same. I hope you have family who loves you and you enjoy a wonderful Thanksgiving:)

I think it does not make you a baby. I think it is one of many important steps to being mature instead of the tough guy.
The bravest man is the man that isn´t afraid to show his feelings. (He is not the wisest but most certainly the bravest.)

You will always be their baby until they die my friend. Enjoy it while you can. I miss being someone's baby. It was nice while it lasted! :)

NO, it makes you a wonderful daughter with some very lucky parents!!! ((hugs))
by pandora on November 23rd, 2009
No. It just means you've been awaken to what you took for granted in the past. And you realize it will all be gone too soon some day.
by Baby Blue on November 23rd, 2009
not at all, it's wonderful that you love your parents enough to miss then that much, I hope when my kids leave the nest they feel the same way.
by katydid15 on November 23rd, 2009
Not at all. I'm sure your parents are delighted at how much you appreciate your home and family. You are very fortunate! Be sure to count your blessings this Thanksgiving!
Does anyone face this family problem?

Would you remain mute at your S/Other's if their family was blatantly prejudiced and outspoken?

You're reading I didn't know how much I missed home till I came home for Thanksgiving break, have you ever felt this way? No place like home. No one like mom and dad. Does this make me a baby?
