Hm, I haven't actually regarded my parents' at-home as my at-home in ... wow, has it really been that long? ... almost 2 decades. We've been two separate, distinct households for long enough to get used to thinking that way.
They sometimes stay in our home as houseguests, and we sometimes stay in their home as houseguests. (We all get along -- so why make each other pay for hotel space?) They still have the bed I used to sleep in, but it's now the guest bed our youngest uses; my memories of using it are already vague.
The question of my "living at home" is very much alive -- but in terms of whether I travel and live on the job vs where my family (hubby & sons) lives. Not in terms of whether we share a house with our kids' grandparents. We have several friends & relatives who enjoy the travelling-contractor lifestyle, and we've been considering it for several years now ourselves.

Then my parents let me come back for about a year, then, boom, I was out on me bum again.
