What would it take for you to move back home?

I've been living in Dublin now for a year and a half. I would still be living in Donegal at then moment now if the work was there for me, I just wanna see if everyone else is in the same scenario or are there other reasons.

I got bored with it.

It's still home.. but who wants to live at home all their lives? Unless I find somewhere else to settle in the meantime (not outside the realms of possibility) I'll probably return in a few years.

I left because I became claustrophobic at the age of 15. Then after 35 years, I came home too die and be buried in the family plot.

I did not want to be buried on foreign soil, now I have been home some 18 years and I am still alive, hmmm this is causing me some grief

Well I left cos I guess I wanted to get out and see different things, learn a new language etc... so I guess you could say I left cos I was bored.

I'm very glad I left Sligo, I do miss it and want to move back home asap, but when I go back and see my friends that never once left our little village (except maybe a day trip to Dublin at the most) I feel sorry for them in a way, I suppose I shouldn't because they're happy and it was their choice not to leave, but I've experienced different ways of life, different cultures and I this had made me who I am today. I've had good and bad experiences but I think it was important to have made them.

I left almost 11 years ago to go to college in Dublin and at this stage I can't really see myself going back, I think the main thing I found was this small minded attitude, begruding people for doing well or for trying to get ahead, I still go home every six or eight weeks and the sad thing is that there is nobody my age living at home anymore everybodys parents are there and I guess a lot of people my age have the same attitude as me, but its such a rural place as well there are absolutely no job opportunities and you also get used to having all the services close by in Dublin, if I moved home the nearest cinema is 60 miles. I just don't think I could cope with that level of isolation now! :rolleyes:

I got claustropobic in Donegal, its nice but it really is too small, and I really needed a change, and to leave home.

I don't think I'll be going back to settle anytime soon, maybe some day when I'm satisfied with a slower pace of life...
