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

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.

my mum turned it into a sewing room within six months.

i have deliberately kept space for my kids to visit/in between flats

My sister had moved into mine within seconds of me being out the door!

Bedroom is exactly the same, except my single bed has been replaced with a double, and there is now a cot at the edge of the bed.

Wardrobes are still full of clothes that no longer fit but I hope to one day. Shelves have the same trinkets, and so on.

No idea why my parents never changed it!

My dad still lives in the house I grew up in. My mum started decorating my bedroom the week I moved out to go to uni! 😂 I protested greatly when she started calling it ‘the spare room’ but she said she knew it was highly unlikely I’d ever move home again. As it turns out, she was right. I knew I always could go home if I wanted/needed to but it ceased to be ‘my’ bedroom.

My mum died several years ago (she was so great - miss her every day) and my former bedroom is now a dressing/hobby room for my dad’s second wife.

My parents kept my bedroom as a bedroom, still decorated with all the furniture I had in there because I left it. So it was a "me" themed spare room. But they downsized when my younger brother moved out and now have a spare room for when he comes home, I live less than quarter of a mile from them.

My husbands mum finished packing his bedroom for him while we were on holiday the week before we moved out and then kept it a spare room until we bought our first house, then she turned it into a home office. Its now a bedroom for our children with all their toys and beds for when they stay.

My Mum no longer lives in my childhood home but when she did the decoration and furniture did not change, the bed was temporarily removed because my Dad needed a bed downstairs when he came out of hospital and mine was the easiest to transport and not being used. My husbands Mum completely changed his room as soon as he moved out. She redecorated, took out the desk and wardrobe, changed the single bed for a double and turned into her primary guest room.

Not saying I can spot the favourite but......

My room is now the guest bedroom. It does still have some of my stuff in it - an ancient chest of drawers, a bookshelf and a few trinkets and photos. It's also now got a bunk bed for my kids so that when we come to stay me, DH and the kids can all sleep in one room.

Yes though the house is being sold now so not for much longer. Leaving it for the last time (as we probably won’t visit before the move now) was very strange!

When my children moved out Ieft their rooms pretty much the same for a long time with their posters on the wall etc
But as they are both in their 30s now it would be odd if their rooms still had their teenage posters on the wall and of course we have redecorated.
My house does still contain some of their possessions though!

No, but I haven’t lived there for nearly 25 years so it would be weird if it was.
when I went to Uni, my mum stripped my room and took loads of my stuff to the charity shop. I was heartbroken when I came back to find my things gone. I’m not sure why she thought that I didn’t want anything anymore.

they don’t even have a spare bed in their house anymore as the bedrooms were repurposed a long time ago.

No. My sister's room became our dad's office and my room was turned into the cats' bedroom.

When DD decided to stay in her university city after graduating we did a thorough declutter of her bedroom. Then I had it redecorated and new bedding, but it's still very much her bedroom though. Will do the same this Summer with DD2's bedroom as she's graduating and buying a flat in the New Year.

We have 2 other guest bedrooms so we don't need their bedrooms for anything else.

No they immediately redecorated within a week, my brother’s room was left untouched like a shrine to him for years till they moved house though.

No and my parents have a massive house. The bedrooms were redecorated and if multiple siblings go back to our parents at the same time, the person whose room it is has first dibs on that room. I don’t know why, it’s just something that developed.

My parents had slept downstairs when I and my brother were growing up, two bedroomed house and couldn't afford to move, so they took the front room over as a bedroom and we all lived in the back room. So when I left home they moved upstairs into my old room and redecorated.

My kids' rooms all stayed as they left them - pigsties - until the last left home when I moved somewhere much much smaller. I now live in a two bedroomed terrace and STILL have two rooms I only go in very occasionally!

Its supposed to be a room for the grandchildren

In reality... its a holding area for my mothers shopaholic hoarding tendencies.

No, when I moved out they divorced and sold the house.
When my two youngest move out (hopefully within about two years time) I’ll get the rooms redecorated and sell the house.

No. They moved house after I left.

No, but then I took my bed with me, and my music centre. The wardrobe was built in.

With my dc, I kept them the same when they went to University and were back and forth in the holidays, then they came home for a bit, then, when they moved out, they took their bedroom furniture with them to start in their new homes (which was great as we are trying to declutter to downsize).

I think it depends on different factors including if adult dc live locally, or if they need to stay when they come to visit.

I think shrine bedrooms complete with teenage posters and trinkets are dead creepy.

My parents turned my room into an office during my first term at university. 😂 They did tell me their plan and my clothes were still in the built-in wardrobe, but they had paperwork and files in there. I slept on a sofa bed, which was fine.

My DD is in her third year at uni (of a four-year course) and with her permission, we’ve just redecorated her room and are turning it into a TV/relaxation room.

She’s happy to sleep in the spare room when she’s here. She’s been saying for a while that she feels that she’s moved out anyway as she flat-shares with friends and has a job in her university city.

No they moved into it.

My 5 children all have their own bedrooms here that are now used by their children as well. Decor has been updated over the years but each room is still referred to as Mary’s room, Paul’s room etc. the rooms will always be theirs.

My younger brother claimed it with almost indecent haste as soon as I moved out.
TBF, his own bedroom was tiny.
