What things are you “supposed” to like as adult, but don’t.

[Soubriquet]

I don’t like alcohol. So all this gin time and wine time flies over my head.

I don’t like pyjamas which is annoying because there are really cute ones out there. I prefer nighties.

I don’t like high end food. Oysters and stuff like that..bleh

Staying up late. I'm in bed now.

National trust properties. Booooooring!! I assumed I would become a member once my daughter was old enough to run around them, but honestly other than the playpark (which we can visit for cheap/free elsewhere) I can’t see me or her enjoying it!!

Walks. (This May link to the above!)

Fine dining…I mean I don’t actively dislike it but my husband and I went somewhere very fancy for our anniversary. The starter was £12 and was honestly 4 small tomatoes, a teaspoon of mozzarella and dressing. It was nice but I was still peckish after the meal!

Make up
Cosmetic procedures like botox
Skin care regimes
Shaving

Intellectual novels with no plot and no clear narrative.
Really stinky cheese.
Wearing make-up.
Being on committees.

Friends inviting us to their children's weddings. I mean, we are honoured and everything but ... what a pita.

Venice.

Ha same here. Except I'm Scottish, irn bru here please.

Museums and galleries. Yawn.

I don't like ordinary breakfast tea, smells like wet mulch but I do like coffee though only one particular supermarket brand one (I'm so sophisticated ).

I detest just about any adult chore like food shopping or planning meals. Can't be doing with planning and organising outings or holidays (just planned a day to the beach and I swear to God the Normandy beach landings probably took less planning/cajoling/whinging).

Sports, any kind of sporting event so Olympics, world Cup, commonwealth games etc

Another coffee hater!
Sparkling water, even with flavouring it has this strong undertone.
Olives
Seafood. Will only eat white fish and tuna/salmon.
Sex.

I'm sure there's many more!

Salad

Absolutely this! I got our iron out to do some hama beads the other day and my 4 year old asked me what it was. That’s how often I iron. (It’s not just a job for women though. My husband irons his own shirts on the rare occasion he feels the need.)

Tea, coffee and alcohol

Coffee
Olives
Beer
Gardening
Spa days
Beauty treatments
Dinner parties
Matchy matchy interior decor
A capsule wardrobe
Expensive clothes/jewellery/handbags

I am in my 50s but, principally because I have no children, I feel like I’ve never really grown up.

Following trends with home decor

Barbecues

I dont like duvets.
I like to regulate my temperature at all times.
Give me blankets any day of the week.

Olives are the crumbs from the devil's arse 🤢
(IMO obviously)
I don't like gardening.
I don't do ironing & try to avoid buying garments that would require ironing after washing.
I begrudge paying for 'high end' restaurant food when I'm confident I can make that at home.
I no longer drink alcohol but I never liked fizzy wine. Dry and headache inducing for me.

Socialising with non-immediate family 😬

Another who doesn't get the gun love at all!

Don't iron unless I absolutely have to.

I'm ok drinking tea occasionally coffee but I like to keep caffeine to a min as I have insomnia and I prefer cold drinks to be honest.

Spas. Massages. Haircuts. Nails. Pampering. Fuck off and stop touching me, and HOW much?!

This

And sooooo boring too

Coffee
Wine
Cheese
Olives
Dressing smart
Spa days
Getting nails done
Clothes shopping
Food shopping
Shoe shopping, no fun when you're size 2/2.5
Prosecco
Opera
Ballet
Podcasts
Understanding politics

I'm sure there are plenty more!

Seconding driving
Seconding sex
Seconding parenting
Also: Paris

Coffee, getting nails done and as much as I hate to admit it reading books.

Me neither , exactly the same !
