Did your parents leave your old bedroom unchanged after you moved out?

[Donotpanicoknowpanic]

If you were to go to your parents home now

Does anyone still have a bedroom as it was when you used to live there

Not so much as they kept it as a shrine to the good days when you used to live there (like a god 🤣)

More that when you moved out that bedroom was not really used again so was just left as it was

(When I moved out my parents were quick to redecorate)

No. I think they were pleased I’d gone!

I had redecorated my room a couple of years before I left. I chose a style that I suppose you could say was more grown up than it had been. I think my parents quite liked it. I think if the room had still been “teenage bedroom” loud and clear they would have redecorated. Who, other than a teenager, wants to spend time in a room like that?

My parents separated when I was 12. I only really ever had a guest room in mother and step's house. She dries the laundry in it now.

DH's room, OTH, is as he left it, aged 18. It hasn't been decorated, his books are still there, his school desk, cricket trophies, dinky toys, old board games, his collections of coins and stamps. The bed is knackered. He's 64!

DS's room here has been redecorated and I use his cupboard space. He's 31 but was 20/21 when we moved here so it was never his childhood bedroom. We fear we may have to evict DD eventually.

Just wondering what it's like in other people's houses

I don't really have any need to go in my kids rooms when they are out, except to hoover and stuff

Thinking of one day when they both moved out

They will just become rooms I never really need to go in so they would just be left

Don't really know what I would use them for

Similar to PP my room was redecorated when I was 16/17 in a more neutral style, complete with double bed(!) so they didn’t need to change it for it to become a guest room when I moved out. Had it still been a poster covered, yellow and blue design nightmare they probably would have changed it so guests didn’t feel ill waking up in there!

No, both mine and my brothers have been decorated, but we both left at 18, and are 50 / 51 now!

God no, my room was turned into an office within a week 😆

Nope, mine was neutrally redecorated to become the spare room. Then at some point they sold as could downsize after everyone had left.

ETA - downsized twice as they had one that really clung on.

My sibling’s rooms was left as it was for years.

My room was entirely redecorated and in fact repurposed the day after I moved out.

😆😆😆😆

Mine is still as it was - despite moving out 35 years ago - as are my siblings’ rooms. 80 years old - 6/8 bedrooms unoccupied for decades. The house too big for them to one floor at all and the rest of it barely. Still they refuse to move.

My bedroom was changed into a dressing room for my parents!

At my mums, my sister and I shared the biggest room which my mum moved into after we left home. My room at my dad’s is still the same as I left it, I’m in my 40’s.

Once I left home at 19 I was never invited 'home' again, even for tea! They moved a few years later, then again into a 1 bed.
Our DC had their rooms until it was definite that they wouldn't be coming back and then we downsized.

No they sold the house and moved.

When I left for university at 18, my two younger sisters immediately moved into my old room (tiny house, big family, v overcrowded) and when I came back at Christmas I was on the sofa! I think that was a good thing, with hindsight. It made me realise that I didn’t have fallback options and needed to make my own way.

I didn't move out...my parents relocated when I was 17 and I lodged with a family friend until I went to uni!

No! My mom moved cities and I moved into my own place at 16 with a baby.

Yes.. for almost 30 years till they moved! When my kids were little they used the room.

When I moved out my mother had the paintbrush in her had to make my room a nursery for my sister's DC.

In a sharp contrast my DC-all in their 20's-def have shrines awaiting them upon their return 😂

No, they moved! My DD’s and dsds rooms are half moved out of now, they are meant to be clearing the remainder then they will be guest rooms for them AND others

We had no real need for their bedrooms apart from the odd guest. Although their possessions reduced and they were tidy I did eventually feel I was living in a museum. We solved it by moving now we have a proper guest room and a study

Mine stayed unchanged until I had my first baby, then they made it into a room for her😂

No because they moved house after I moved out to start my nurse training!

When my kids moved out, we turned there rooms into, an Office and the other my sort of dressing room, doubling up as a spare room for guests.
My own parents moved and down sized when my sister and I went.

Mine stayed a single bed until I got engaged and then mum and dad bought a double bed and redecorated as they needed new bedding and did the whole room up - but even when it was the single bed and still the same bedding/ curtains that I had chosen it was full of mums extra clothes and Christmas decorations so not really mine anymore
