I'm a proper grown up except...

[StealthPolarBear]

I can never remember which of two dates my wedding anniversary is. Neither can DH. We either have to wait to see which day our parents congratulate us, or check back to see which if the two was a Saturday back in 2005.
Whats your one thing that makes you feel like an irresponsible teen still?

ReginaGeorgeous you need a stamp tastic!
Lol at having your mittens sewn on, that is a bit far :o

@bagadverts - I am chair of governors, but still feel a bit like that when seeing the head :)

I am also about to adopt a 7 y/o at the age of 47, so am actually trying to become less grown up in preparation.

Ahh lovely :) give it three months with him or her and you'll be a big kid again

I still can’t sew- I have 3 children and am still incapable of sewing a button on, every time I have some sewing to be done I take it to my auntie and she asks me what I’m going to do when she’s dead 😂

Oldest child has just started Beavers so I think there’s going to be lots of badge sewing visits to come!

Kungfupanda... You have two options... Teach DC to see own badges on... Or badge glue. (I'm currently procrastinating facing my own Scout badge sewing pile... 2adult uniforms needing badges moving, 10 badges for Beaver uniform, 10 for Cub uniform, at numerous for camp blankets)

Or adopt another auntie

Get auntie to teach child to sew. 😊

I am 33 years old. I am married, with 2 DC. I have a proper job, where I am responsible for other people's children. I listen to radio 4, I cook all meals from scratch and use the word 'pottering' to describe most of my weekend activity. I am a fully fledged grown up. But....

I have never ever bought bin bags. My DDad was a very organised individual and bulk bought them, we never had to because there was always a stash at my parents house. When he died 3 years ago, we discovered the sheer scale of the stash in his shed and estimated that mum and all 3 of his daughters would be kept in bin bags for the next 5 years. Overestimated slightly and I think they'll run out within the next 4-5 months. I've never bought a bin bag and I don't know what kind to look for as dad's were ridiculously industrial types. I've seen binbags at other peoples houses and always been horrified by the quality and just how much the decent ones cost.

I am not really a grown up at all.

When my partner and I go to the shops together we stop in at Pets at Home to see the rabbits and B and M to play with the toys

I'm 59 and a grandfather. I have no intention of growing up, and now DGS is here I don't have to.

...I don't like talking to people on the phone, so get my husband or PA to do it depending on what the call is about

@marriednotdead I fly a kite too!

I get over-excited about receiving presents. My DH shamelessly teases me by wrapping them in front of me a few days before the occasion. I should be able to see what they are while he does this, but I can't, because he always makes sure I'm blindfolded! Actually I love hearing it, and then I enjoy unwrapping them all the more.

I'm very much a "grown up" at work, family responsibilities etc, but I can't resist buying a brightly coloured windmill at the seaside. It was always my favourite thing as a child

I'm 33 (I think - I have to calculate it back based on dates to be sure!) and I still occasionally suck my thumb

I can never remember how old I am, or anybody else. Even my kids- I just ask them now. My husband seems to know how old everyone in the family is, on my side as well as his, which seems like some kind of sorcery to me...

I can't tie my shoe laces the proper way (I make 2 loops and knot them). DD is 3 so I will need to either learn or fess up to DH soon!

I'm 67 and I won a hula hoop marathon at the local primary school summer fair
To be fair I was AWESOME

The state of my bedroom, it's embarrassing but I'm capable women with kids and clean ish house, but my bedroom is always a mess

I don’t finish the top layer of a box of chocolates. When I’ve eaten the nicest ones I leave the rubbish ones and eat the good ones from the bottom layer. Then, and only then, I put the box in the living room for the rest of the family to enjoy —all the rubbish ones—

@ReginaGeorgeous

It sounds to me like you are a proper adult. You have your daughters school uniform already bought and organised for September (and you have got name tags).

I am totally impressed!

I've just stamped my feet and grit my teeth like my 9 yr old in the staff room at work because I can't get the new all singing all dancing music system to connect.

I also still eat chocolate in a bowl like my younger kids do 😂

I may have just toasted marshmallows for breakfast, they were good.
