22, first apartment out of college. It didn't hurt that my parents moved out of the area I grew up in a year after that, so they weren't in a house I had lived in.

I still call my parents' house "going home" but I also refer to my house as home. So I guess it depends on the context of what I am saying. I am 31.

This has been a split thing for me for a few  decades. I kept thinking of London as home when we moved at age 8. Since then, home keeps splintering.

Just the other day, I said DH was home with his mom. This is our primary home, but there are multiple places that I call home. NYC stopped being a place I call home more than a year after we left for good - not until DD was born. It had been a "home" from 1998 to 2010. (Although I'd lived in two other countries and CA at points during that stretch.)

I found myself saying that about the lab where I did undergrad research. I'd say "I'm going home," without thinking, and I meant back to the lab. I was 21.

College. Home was this state for me, and has been since. I just realized the other day that I've lived here longer than the state I moved from/was born in. Awww.

I pretty much started referring to it as "my parents house" beginning with college, so 17? But really it would've been closer to 19/20 for it to be technically my own place.

I stopped saying it after college, but it still catch myself saying it since we moved across the country. NY still feels a little like 'home'.

15. Yea, it's a long story.

[Stingyshark]

I moved out at 19. I still say "going home" in reference to my hometown when I talk to friends w/ the same hometown that no longer live there.

Well I call my parent's house home still, but I also call my place home as well.

Me too.

However, it doesn't feel like my home anymore.  I mean, I like visiting (for the most part), and I'm very comfortable there, but when I was OOT this past month, I really missed being at my own house/home.

I still call my parents' house "home", but I also call my house "home".
