When did you become a grown-up

[crazywitch]

Why is that some people act like grown ups and others never seem to achieve that status.
Can you remember when, if ever, it happened to you. Or perhaps you have always been that way?

when i was seriously depressed i finaly realised that in order to feel better i had to learn to forgive myself and to concentrate on the good things in life, i guess that was when i finaly grew up and started to take control of my life. but on a lighter note i think that there is a child inside all of us, and at 58 i still feel 17 inside lol.

I dont think I'm really unusual, I am capable of being grown up when needed, discoursing knowledgeably on a wide range of subjects but can also be incredibly peurile.
Havent had a single moment when I thought "I've grown up" but do remember feeling somehow different on the boat back to the UK in 1982, even though I was still only a kid.

Does immature mean you can stay on the tree a bit longer?

It's called role reversal Binley. My kids don't seem to want to protect me, but they do look me up and down when we're going out - and some of the looks clearly mean "you're not going out dressed like that, are you?". They're too kind to say it outright, but often make "suggestions" regarding my looks and attire. I'm at the age where I prefer comfy and practical to fashionable.

Yep I know what you mean sometimes I think I live with Gok and Wan!
