Is it normal to not miss your parents?

Depends.It depends

Yes, it can be normal not to miss your parents, whether you’re independent, busy, or simply not very close. It doesn’t automatically mean you don’t love them or that something is wrong with you.

People feel distance differently. You might enjoy your own space, stay connected in other ways, or have a relationship that doesn’t make you long for your parents when they’re away. If the relationship has been difficult, not missing them—or even feeling relieved—can make sense too.

Some people do miss their parents a lot, and others barely notice the time apart. Neither reaction is a measure of how good a child you are. What matters more is whether you feel okay with the relationship as it is, not whether you have the “right” amount of longing.
