I should have appreciated having a home-cooked meal every night waiting for me when I got home a lot more.

Being asked to simply put your clean laundry away is much better than actually being responsible for doing it every week.

Having your mom scream your name 10+ times in the morning to wake you up for school is a much more reliable alarm clock than I had thought.

Food shopping isn’t just walking around the store and telling your parents which foods to put into the cart.

Washing dishes is all fun and games until the sink is piled up 10 feet tall.

When you're having a bad day and just wanna lay around and watch a movie with your parents and they aren't here to do that with you.

Not having someone telling you what to do can lead to some pretty poor decisions.

Getting my sheets changed on my bed every week was such a luxury, now I'm borderline in constant fear of getting bed bugs.

When you’re sick and your mom is there to make you soup and love you unconditionally until you feel better… now I just chug an Emergen-C five times a day and pray I wake up feeling better in the morning.

Getting a "Goodnight" and "I Love You" before bed every night is so deeply missed.

Lazy Sundays spent eating good food and wearing pajamas in the winter and relaxing by the pool with a glass of Rose in the Summer...

Love you, Mom and Dad! Miss having you as roomies!
