Are you happy to return to your own house?

Even after a few hours only, at a friends or relatives house, do you like to just o just get back to your own house? Everyone does things differently, and I just feel so comfy in my own house. Does anyone else feel this way, or am I just becoming anti-social?
 
Well I can't really go back to my "home" anymore - but my 8-month a year "home" at the lake? You betcha! There's just something about that place.. As soon as I turn the key and open the door I feel SOOOOOO peaceful and content.. I love being there alone during the week.. :flower:

Actually, I do well "alone" anywhere - so maybe I'm anti-social too.. :rotfl:
 
I am very happy to return home. I just like being in familiar surroundings. I am one of those people who can never sleep when I'm somewhere else whether it's a friends house or a nice resort. I just do not sleep. So maybe that has alot to do with it. I want to be home so I can rest.

Of course if it's a nice vacation then I'm torn because I also don't want it to end. I know! I need a nice big motor home, or one of those touring buses that the celebs use so I can have my "home" with me where ever I am.

I just never fully relax at someone else's house. I'm very casual at home. We walk around barefoot, prop our feet up and hang out in our sweats. Man we sound like slobs! We're not, but we are casual. Our home is a home not a museum. I won't yell if you drink in the living room or put your feet on the couch. You just can't relax like that in someone else's home.
 
Yes, me too, I love coming home when I've been away at a a friend's house for a long time.
 

I've often joked that it would be nice if we could magically make our house appear whereever we travel, although of course, we'd still be able to take advantage of hotel amenities, just be able to sleep in our own beds at night!
 
I like to visit and socialize with my friends at their houses but......there comes a time when I can't wait to get back to my own home. Nothing feels as relaxing as your own house. When you are at your own house there is a certain comfort level that just can't be found at a friends/relatives place no matter how sweet and accomodating they are.
 
While I like the familiarity of home, most days I just don't "like" my house! There is not one room in here that looks like I want it to, but infortunately my DH likes it the way it is...so it stays like it is. The room I hate the most is my kitchen...a room I have to spend a lot of time in.

I don't spend a lot of time in other peoples homes, usually just family. I feel at home in my sister's houses and at my Mom's. My SIL's hosue I can barely breath when I'm there...too much pet dander and dust.

My MIL is a huge slob....I am even afraid to eat anything there.

I'm not anti social, I love to go visiting.
 
It is funny that I saw this post tonight, we came home from a party this evening and after walking in the front door I thought to myself how great it was to be in my own home. :)
 
Yes, I even love returning to my room at Disney after a long day
 
I think it's funny how things at someone else's house don't effect me the way they do at my own home.

For example I know someone who collects little glass figures and characters. They are everywhere in her house!! But I like them they are so cute. However you'll never find anything like that in my own home because to me it would bug me to have so much stuff around. And yet at her house I just think it's cute.

Same way when I go to a friends house and it's messy. It never bothers me, but I hate when my own is messy or cluttered. Maybe because at my house I know I'm the one who has to clean it! :goodvibes
 
I like being in my own house, too. It's fine visiting with a good friend for a few hours, and having houseguests is nice for a few days, but mostly I like to be in my house with my family and no one else.

I'm in a funny spot right now because we're in the process of moving. DH has already left, and I'll spend some time with my parents after the movers pick up our stuff on Tuesday, and then I'll finally join DH in our new home (an apartment for now) in Dallas. So even though I'm in my home of the past 6 years right now, it doesn't feel like home. My stuff is all in boxes, and I can't cook or do anything normally due to everything being packed. My kids are with me, but DH and the dog are driving to Dallas right now. I feel like I'm homeless, and I miss having a comfortable place to go. I'm anxious to get out to DH and starting to regret that I told my parents I'd spend so much time with them before I went out there.
 
I like to be in my own home. I find most people only have one computer. So if you stay at their house you can't use their computer, they don't have wireless yada yada they don't have a tv in their guest room. We have tv's and computers everywhere. I am just used to that and do not like to be shut off from the world. I am getting to where I won't stay at a hotel in the US that doesn't have highspeed for my laptop. Call me sick or whatever but I just love my internet that much. It would be like checking into a hotel without a bed to me. I make exceptions when I go to the Caribbean or Cancun or something but I am not happy about it and am soooooooo happy to get home. Other peoples food choices bug me too. What you only have decaf? Or no coffee brewing? Flavored creamers BLECHHHHHH. No wine for your guests?
I will stay at hotels before I will stay with family though. If the choice came to only going somewhere to stay with family I would stay home. :rotfl:

I love coming home from most places. I get antsy if I am somewhere else for too long and if I am not at home I don't sleep well if at all. I have a few friends whos houses feel like home to me without the I can't wait to get back over there feeling.
 
I'm definitely a homebody but I love visiting friends too. And I love parties so I guess I'm happy to go and happy to come home, lol.
 
I feel the same way.. Just like today.. I have been out visiting all day.. went to my mom and dads and then to my sisters house .. I love them to death, but couldnt wait to get home..

In 2002 me and my boyfriend went on vacation for about 2 1/2 weeks .. we drove to Florida for a day and then went on a 7 day cruise.. we got back to Florida then went to WDW for 4 days then on to his grandparents in Palm Coast for a few days then on to his dads and stepmoms at Amelia Island then then drove home.. I had a blast but I was ready to be home..
