Homesick

I want to come home after a week! DH likes 2 or even 3 weeks......eeeek.

I too get homesick so we never go away for more than one week at a time, unless we are with the grandchildren.

Our youngest GS who is 3 loves his home so much and would happily stay there all the time. He does though enjoy a trip to the Garden Centre.

His Mum was trying to get him to pre School and take his brother to school. He would not put on his shoes and in exasperation she said she was going and closed the front door, she waited a couple of minutes expecting him to be begging to come but when she opened the door she saw he had put his shoes in the shoe rack and was kneeling on the sofa looking out of the front window waiting to wave them off !!

His Dad was working in the back garden, so he wasn't completely abandoned.

That's my problem been cat sitting in Leicester for a week, and another 5 days to go, bored. Would have so much to do if we were at home.
When I was working, I had to spend 6 weeks in Asia Pacific, became really homesick after a couple of weeks (pre internet and Skype, even a phone call cost a fortune.)

If I'm with H and on holiday then I could happily be away for weeks.
The only time I remember being homesick is when staying at D for 2wks dog sitting. I was bored most of the time and not knowing the area and dog too big for my car limited what I could do.

I just love travelling and never get homesick when away - but yes after about 3 weeks- I am really happy to be home again- home being here or in the UK- as they are both places we call home and feel at home.

Never get homesick - home is where I lay my hat .

I do miss people but never places .

Comes from being a navy brat and then in the army , I've lost count of the number of places I've lived .

What I do often miss , especially on long holidays are my favourite pillows on the bed and our little dog if we're overseas ! But I Skype the dog !! So problem solved .

It's taken a while, but I no longer get homesick for the UK. Rather like baubles though, I miss the people I'm close to. Home is wherever the people I love, live.

I am always happy returning home to my 'comfort zone' but it only lasts a few days before I want to get up and go. Having experienced severe home sickness as a child when packed off to boarding school, nothing comes near it these days. I get homesick for people. Living alone, which I hate, does have a 'homesicky' feeling which is probably why I don't stay put for too long....

I do as I ve got older didn't notice it when I was young recently had a three week away and although I was loving where I was and the people I was with I couldn't wait to get back to my familiar routine and place I do think it's an age thing

I don't get homesick except for missing the people I'm close to. Being away from home usually means being somewhere interesting and I'm able to just live in the day.

I'm always happy being home again when the time comes though.

Wherever I hang my hat comes to mind.

I get twitchy after a week and we once drove round Europe with the kids in tow for 3 weeks and I couldn't work out whether I was fed up with being in a car with 5 kids or because I wanted to get home.

Pitcity, go and have a coffee at "The Lock" in Heybridge basin for me.

Never been away long enough to get homesick. In fact I dread going home to the laundry, grass cutting etc.
