Pizza on evenings gives me sleepless nights since years.
I recognized I might be adulting when...
- Thread starter mandown
- Start date
my concept of mankind and the universe has not radically changed from childhood.
i see the world, pretty much under the same eyes.
that being said... I noticed I was full blown adult, not when I got married, nor had a kid.
It just hit me like a train, in full force and at once, the day my dad got sick, and I had to take him to a doctor, then started taking him to several other, running errands in hospitals, doing related paperwork, signing the release for surgery, hired a nurse and footing some of the medical bills.
it was that day (not even 2 months ago), that I truly felt a substantial shift into adulthood.

36 Next month and still not even close to being an adult.
hmmmmm.....I agree with a lot of the things Stevew says
I've spent the vast majority of my life covered in cuts, scrapes, bruises, dealt with constant throbbing pain from psoriatic arthritis. Mere anoyances, never stopped me from doing anything. This year was the first time I have ever dealt with chronic or long lasting injuries that has seriously limited my activity. Broken rib, tendonitis in the elbow, something seriously fucked up in the shoulder. Haven't been able to do any activity that requires much upper body, including yard/house work, pedaling really hard or riding rougher trails.
I refuse to be adulting, whatever that word means.
Seeing friends and family go due to casualties or cancer made me realize I might be adult. Because only adults have to deal with that kind of stuff.
The realization "it doesn't last forever" was the adulting moment I guess.

It is different when you attend an Op Ivy/Ramones/FEAR show and get said shirt from the merch table vs Hot Topic.
Not really, concert shirts are just as stupid.
While at a karate competition this weekend, I witnessed a younger scorekeeper tallying up a score on his fingers. I had the total computed in my head before he finished writing down the scores.
You know what finally pushed me into adulthood? Taking care of my dad before he died (and the resulting medical bills, getting my mom squared away).
^This
Though it was nearly 20yrs ago now, I distinctly remember the realization.
Dad at home laying in bed dying of cancer.
Me changing his diaper and, while I wiped the shit off his balls, him coming to long enough to say "payback's a bitch, eh Dan?"
I wonder how much the tittays cost?Paid $2000 for her shirt.
Near the end, my mother needed a lot of help. Brain tumor with dementia. Did the whole Hospice thing at my house. I don't know if taking care of her made me an adult, but seeing my much older brother and sister emotionally incapable of helping made me realize they were still children.
Duck-bill.
Worthwhile investment wouldn't you say? Made her million I suppose. Good work if you can get it....
i recently started considering stopping a fun dating scenario because i've been down this very same road before, and the fun only goes so far before it becomes a horror show. i might be learning.
Naughty is long gone but the new girl is almost a carbon copy.Is naughty nurse Lisa part of that dating scenario?
Haven't and won't. Seen this film before and it doesn't end well for our villain. This sequel involves a character that has been and will be a recurring role in various social settings. Not the kind of awkwarding I'm interested in. I might be adulting.
