As a child there is nothing more wondrous than watching the life of an adult. So much so that for centuries children have played games in which they pretend to be adults taking on their various roles, whether it be at home or on the work place.
What they don't realise is the adulthood is fraught with many of the same problems as childhood.
The frustration at never being quite grown up enough to do something, the crushing pain at the disapproval or unkind words of those around you,
Some things don't change thought, like your parents telling you what you should do whether it was invited advice or not, and you rebelling against them.
That adults still gossip and bitch like you do in high school.
That you still have no idea what you're doing even though you thought you were ready for this gig.
I'd rather feel this way and have someone else paying the bills!
Do we really ever grow up?
Oh yes, enjoy your childhood as adults pay the bills!! I think we all just cruise along, what is old anyway?? Or grown up, or a good decision, or sensible?? Love Posie
ReplyDeleteI still don't feel grown up. I've got the husband, house, kids, but alas, still don't feel grown up. weird that one.
ReplyDeleteLike Mandy, I still don't feel grown up. But Posie also has a good point...how do you define grown up?
ReplyDeleteI think 'grown up' is just a number. At every age (& stage) society expects us to behave a predetermined way. But that doesn't mean we have to ;-)
ReplyDeleteI can totally relate to this post! I still don't feel like the 'grown up' in our household. I'm always relieved when my mum or dad come to stay so I can stop all this pretending... x
ReplyDeleteNugget tells me he doesn't want to grow up because adults have 'too much work to do'. I have to agree! x
