Clinging to, get to, run out of

Please help me check the three sentences below? I really want to know whether I use the three phrases correctly here.

1. I’ve never been a mummy boy. I wasn’t used to clinging to my home.

3. Parting has just become a bit difficult for me, because I know all too well that the time that we have to spend with our parents is like an hourglass. One day, all the sand will flow to the other side when we wake up, and we will have run out of time by then

I guess that's what a mother might feel like after an especially grievous day with the kiddies.
