having spent the last 9 months of my life in a flat with 3 other guys i have discovered, upon returning home for the summer, that i walk around not-quite-fully-clothed a lot of the time. from trousers without a shirt to a dressing gown, i'm sure i didn't used to be like this! (i am fully clothed, in case you were wondering...although my brothers fiancee pointed out yesterday that she keeps on seeing me in my dressing gown)
has anyone else noticed and bad habits upon returning home? i also argue more with my parents (well, it's not quite arguing. it's more that we disagree. we don't shout or anything...), only come down for meals and so on..
returning home is weird 😕

my brother is at his 3rd return. 🙂
Done it a few times, which is what happens as a result of spending quite a while at uni (the last year I went through without being a university student was 1995). Glad to see them, but then always glad to get away again.
Still, the summer in St Andrews was always good, quieter thanks to all the undergrads being away.

You actually go to your parents place for a few months? I still live in the same small house I moved in when I started my education(s) up here. I visit my parents every now and then, but not for longer than a few days, or a weekend. After then I am more than happy to go back to my own home, so I can eat whenever and whatever I want to, and I am the only one to bother with the mess I make. Far more freedom.
Originally posted by geniusIt's not actually that bad (except for the bagpiper on South Street) and particularly early on there aren't too many around. Plus later on most only head for a relatively small number of places in the town.

I've spent quite a bit of time studying there. Started in 1996, graduated in 1999 and 2003 (liked it so much I stayed on for my PhD, which were the better years up there due to having money and more time).
From another perspective, when my daughter moved back home it was very uncomfortable. We all felt a loss of freedom. She also stayed in the extra bedroom. Yes, it is no longer called her bedroom.
It happens sometimes. As a parent you want your kids to begin their life's journey. In fact mom and dad also begin a new journey when the house is now totally their own. If they return home it feels like a detour has been reached for the son or daughter as well as the parent.
