    1. Well maybe if you stop acting like a racist incel people would treat you like an adult. Stop throwing tantrums and move out of Mom's basement

  8. About 25, 26. Sometimes I still feel like a college student in a mock meeting when I'm at work.

  11. I moved several hours away from anyone I knew to purchase a coffee shop in a resort town in Idaho. 29 years old, that's when it all changed.
    Omg that was scary.

  13. My Dad died 19 years ago and last year my Mom had a rapid onset of dementia which led to her going into palliative care. The day my Mom died, was the day that I became an adult.

  14. I've felt like a charlatan my entire "adult" life, like the calendar and my spirit have been in an endless power struggle.

  22. Will be 53 in August, but feel like I'm 29 - like there's something big coming juuust around the corner, very soon.

    Conservaterian - I too am sorry for your loss. I'm an only, and I've already lost my dad (10 years ago). I will lose my shit when my mom goes. I joke and tell her I'm going first. She doesn't like my morbid humor.

    At 30. My career provided a good life, got married, and we bought our first home. Doesn't get more real than that. Conservatarian I'm sorry for your loss.

  24. 19. Like a normal person, lol.
    Today everyone has Peter Pan Syndrome & act like a bunch of kidults at 35. It's embarrassing to watch.

  25. Wait. Is that a thing?

  26. I'm 40. I'm an adult mostly but still know how to have a good time if we can find a babysitter. We went out drinking this past weekend for first time in a year. I had a good time. Everyone was cool...good music. Lots of pretty college girls. Yes..we got carded once or twice...out of 7 bars we went to. Eat healthy, work out...get sleep. Being an adult doesn't change much..but getting old does.

  27. When I was giving my first child a bath in the tub. I realized that if anything bad happened to the baby, it was my own fault and that I was the one in charge, not my mother.

  28. 40 when I adopted my son

  29. I feel like it's a staircase process, not an elevator, you don't just reach adulthood. The more steps you take, the more adult you feel. Every few years I look back and think, no I wasn't really an adult then, knowing full well that in a few years I'll look back at the current moment and think the same thing.

  30. It comes & goes. I will always have the heart and the spirit of a child. Which isn’t always a good thing. My mom committed suicide when I was 19. I had to be my own “mom” after that, so maybe that’s when I first got the inklings of adulthood.

  31. I feel like I have been an adult too long...since I was 16 on my own, damn near 50

    ReplyDelete
  32. I'll let you know when I get there.

  33. Freebird! I’m so glad to see you’re back and hope you’re doing well.😀

  34. Something changed for me at 26 or so. I stopped feeling like "the adults" were a separate entity.

    ReplyDelete
  35. 48 and still look around for an adultier adult than me.

    ReplyDelete
  36. On my 31st birthday. When my dad told me he had ALS.

    ReplyDelete
  37. Yes, Freebird, great to see you back, you've been missed!

    HouellebecqGurl--"kidult" LOL, never heard that one! (Also, might be guilty)

    One silly time this adult thing DID strike me was the first time of being called "Ma'am" instead of "Miss," that sucked.

  38. 17. My dad was diagnosed with cancer and died six months later. After that, I packed my stuff and moved to NY to go to college.

    BTW, feeling as if you’re an adult and feeling as if you are your chronological age are two entirely different things. Trust me.

    ReplyDelete
  39. And Hiiiii to Freebird! Have been wondering how you’ve been. Hope you’re settled.
