My issue is crying homesickness when you're in your 20s. They need to grow up and cut the cord. Go home if you want to, but don't act like you need sympathy for being "homesick"
'Homesick' doesn't necessarily mean what you think it does. I'm in my mid 30s and I get homesick for Melbourne whenever I'm away for even a few weeks. This city is home to family, friends, routines, history and memories to me. I'd never want to move away from Melbourne for a number of reasons, even if I had better employment prospects elsewhere. In the AFL landscape 'homesickness' is often equated to 'grown man can't live without parents' but there's so much more to it than that.
