[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s humorous how special everyone in this thread thinks their completely average actions are. Pretty much every family in the world has dinner. Wow you watch movies. Never heard of families doing that. [/quote]

NP here. Agreed but sometimes in a pinterest/internet world,  people need reminders of the regular/simple things.

Also, Im in my late 30s. My dad died a few yrs ago. My parents house that I grew up in used to be a very warm, homey place that I loved to visit. Since he died, it feels different. I actually dont like to go there anymore and when I do, it just feels like my moms house, it doesnt feel like a home. What its made me realize is that a house is a house. What makes a house home is the people living in it and the warm feeling/experiences you feel with those people when you are in it. My husband and I (and our two young kids) moved recently. The rental apt we were in where I brought both kids home from the hospital when they were born and watched them take their first steps, dressed them up for hween for the first time, rocked them for hours on end, etc, felt more like a home than our current house does (which we just moved into and we own). It still needs our personal touch and warm experiences to be had there, but I realize its the moments where u are present with people you love that make a house a home. Otherwise its literally just a house.[/quote]
