My age says I’m an adult but sometimes I think other people know more about being an adult than me.

    OP: What do you consider ‘adult’? I am trying to be a responsible parent to two children, and I pay the bills on time. I have a decent paying job while still being able to care for the children. As the father I do most of the cooking and cleaning and in the weekends I perform the upkeep of our home. But the best moment I had with my kids were doing ‘immature’ things together, like playing with Lego or loudly singing along with 80s goth music, or occasionally both at the same time. I also play board games and computer games (instead of passively sitting in front of the television, I might add).

    On the other hand, I saw parents at the playground who were working on spreadsheets and totally ignoring their children. If that is being an ‘adult’, I do not want to be one.
