Adulthood is….

[EineReiseDurchDieZeit]

Forcing yourself to do the washing up so there are clean bowls for breakfast

Paying for invisible things

If only it was just one. They outnumber the non dodgy parts now.

Seemingly spending your entire week working and entire weekend running errands and tidying up…but also garlic bread and popcorn for dinner if you fancy (living alone even better 🤷‍♀️), swings and roundabouts I guess! 😂

Like having homework every day and a permanent feeling of having more that you’ve forgotten about, and the homework you have managed to do was a bit shit

@NormasArseI hear you there but in particular I’m thinking of my dodgy knee it’s really giving me hip

Shit.

No one to say No to that bag of crisps you really shouldn’t be eating. This is both a pro and a con.

If you ask my ds he’d have a different view- struggled in school now has a job he loves, sleeps in on the weekends and meets with friends. I remember all the freedom of being a young adult20s even 30s! Late 30s on things decided to get real!

Better than the alternative.

My best friend was killed in a car crash caused by a drunk driver when she was 20.

@SpottyAlpaca I'm sorry, that's shit. 💐🥺

I've had different stages, being the responsible adult in a couple (18 to 30) and being stifled but deciding I could do stuff for myself before finally leaving, being a bit wild after that and having lots of fun (30-34) then finding out I was pregnant at 35 and now it's really hard work, terrifying and exhausting raising a small human, but I'm sitting here eating ice cream because I can now DS is in bed.

@SapphireSeptember Thank you.

It happened a very long time ago, but I do still sometimes think of her. And it means I have absolutely no time for people who whinge about the effects of ageing. Because getting older is a privilege.

Being able to buy yourself an Ice cream when out with your parents. And not have to ask permission to have one. I still find it strange!

Monotonous....what to eat for dinner and the inevitable washing up!

Giving your parents advice!

@EineReiseDurchDieZeit the problem with giving advice is that my dad, without fail will remind me, that he taught me how to use a spoon.
