Re: Adulthood?

(Anonymous) 2012-08-15 09:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Personally, I believe that adulthood is marked by being more or less capable of taking care of yourself (with allowances made for disabilities and a down economy). So it's not really about age, except to the extent that it may be hard (or illegal) to gain some of these skills and responsibilities before a certain age.

This doesn't mean that you have to actually BE 100% independent all the time - it's okay to have a roommate with whom you share expenses or even to live with your parents, and it's also okay to have someone in your household who does certain things for you or to pay someone to do something for you - but you should at least have the capability of doing things like holding down a paying job, managing your money, finding a place to live, feeding yourself, keeping your clothes and living area clean, and staying on top of whatever responsibilities might be applicable to your life, such as child care, keeping your car in running order, not flaking out on school, etc.

Of course, a lot of people tend to reach for things like marriage or long-term partnership, children, and owning a house as hallmarks of adulthood, which explains why at 32 I still meet people who insist on treating me like an immature child even though they will willingly admit to not knowing how to cook, do laundry, maintain a budget, do their own tax returns, deal with car problems, or travel long-distance on their own. I figure they're insecure and desperate for someone to look down on, so that's okay.

That is very sad, and you're right.
