Do you still refer to your parents house as "home"?

I guess I call both my homes, my current home as well as my parents! Anyone else?

No but age is probably a factor here. I haven't lived there in almost 20 years.

I call it my parents house.
It was always odd to me in seminary when the girls would talk about going home- meaning the dorm. I could never call a dorm home.
I'm married 8 years, we just moved into the home we purchased with plans to stay a very long time. This is my home.

I call it home and it's saved as home on my cell phone too.

I'm going to my parents. I live at home.

Where I live is home, but my parents' landline is still saved as "home" on my phone. I'll probably change that if we ever get around to getting a landline.

When I was first married I did. And I had my parent's home number saved as home in my cell phone. A few months into our marriage my husband was looking up a number on my phone and saw that I still had it save as home (mostly out of laziness as I never got around to changing it). He told me (semi-jokingly) that he was insulted because now home is where we live together. So I changed it. At this point (married 7 years) I no longer think of my parent's house as home. Home is where I live with my DH and children. When refering to it I say I am going to my parents or to _____ (insert name of city where they live).

Nope. I refer to it as "my mothers house" or "I'm going to my mother."

...sorry dad! Lol.

When I first moved out of my parents' home (still single) and got my own apartment in a different state, I would refer to both places as "home." After I got married it shifted and by my first anniversary I was calling my home with my husband "home" and my childhood home "my parents' house." It was a gradual transition mentally, but within a short time after my wedding I felt much more at home with my husband and much more like a guest with my parents.

I agree it comes with age & with length of marriage - home should be where you live & parents home should be "parents home"

Nope. I moved from america to israel alomst 13 years ago so my home was never their home.
And then to make matters even "worse" my parents made aliyah so my childhood home is no longer my family home anyway, so home is where I go to sleep next to my husband every night. Smile

No. It's my parent's house. My apartment is my home. Since my parents live in a difference state than I do when I go back I will say, "I went back home to my parent's house."

I called my parents house "home" for a few years after we were married. My husband didn't appreciate it much. I also considered their city as "my city". These days when I go visit I feel like a stranger in that city, it has changed so much.

I call it my parents house. But actually my husband says "your house" when talking to me about my parents house which I reply "no THIS (our house) is my home, that's my parents' house". Smile

I still call it home after 11 years, and my house is also home, although I live in another country.

It was home until my parents moved. But I called both places home. After my parents moved, I didn't feel like I was going home but I still didn't feel like a guest. Until my parents moved, my old bedroom was still intact and so it was a bit like going back in time.
