Talking to Hosp on aim, and an interesting idea came up. I don't feel like I'm an adult, even though I've been one now for 10 years. Full fledged, working full time, raising two kids, paying my bills adult.
Yet, I still find myself wanting ice cream and chocolate milk, and not wanting to share with the kids. I don't remember my mom being like that with me.
Are we kids for a lot longer now? Are we less responsible? Or, are we able to be young longer because people are living longer?

We're not living longer...believe that.

No, its actually reversed. I know for me it is. I was forced to grow up so fast, I find that I act immature often. I had to be alot more responsible and dealt with a lot more tramautic events in my childhood than my Mom did. And even now, its like Im the parent and shes the child, so I take every chance to act like an obnoxious ADHD case.

So, we're kids because we had to grow up faster?

Thats my theory. We regress when given the chance.

That's very insightful.
It doesn't cover the 30 year olds that still live with mom and dad. Or is that just the economy?

I wasn't forced to grow up too fast until my wife (then girlfriend) got pregnant and we were thrust into adulthood fast. I was already on the verge of reclusion and now with a 2 year old I have a good excuse not to hang out with my friends.
Either way I still feel like I'm at least 5 years younger than I actually am (26). I like watching cartoons and shit which is bonus when you have a kid.
Trick for me is keeping the balance of being an authority figure without being too much of a prick. THat's a hard thing for a kid like me.

i think it's the economy but what rooner said is true, I had to grow up so fast that any chance i get to cut up I do.

My mom had me before she was 25, and she never seemed like a kid.
