What makes you feel like a true adult?

"I wiped my own @$$, I wiped my own @$$!!! Just picturing the 6 yo yelling that in the Adam Sandler movie, BIG DADDY. Sorry. I thought it was funny.

Too bad for me, I can't think of anything I do that reminds me I'm an adult. 90% of my work day is spent w/ high school kids. Ok, ok . . . Having to make BIG purchases tells me I'm an adult (taking a load out to buy a new A/C. Tired of Home Warranty putting a band-aid on a 27 yo A/C for my Condo. Cost only $16K). I hate having to be an adult.
 
For me it's having done the dishes, vacuumed and washed the floors, changed the bedding, and started the wash of used bedding and it's not even my turn to do these things. Also I finally threw destroyed my fake ID now that I'm 22 and legal.
Congrats on the real ID! Hoist a legal pint for me.
 
For the most part, we are blessed with medical technology that our great grand parents and grand parents and even some parents didn’t have. You are blessed Sir, I think.
I had been dealing w/ hip pain for the past 16 yrs. I was to the point I could hardly walk w/out pain. It was getting so bad that I found myself getting into dark / very negative throughs... Basically my body was producing a chemical my body was rejecting. It was eating away at the hip bone and cartilage. It's been 2 yrs now and it's starting to bother me again. When it's super cold, it hurts. I jogged once in Mar. I was sore for 3 days. 80% of the time, the sex i got wasn't work the after pain. Now it just aches. Freaken sucks getting old. My Pop's just saw my Hip Doc and he needs his knees done.
 
1. Degenerative Arthritis. 2. Sacrificing happiness for the sake of kids. 3. Finding fulfillment in serving rather than accumulating wealth.
 
So sorry you have had to endure so much pain and trouble brother. For cases like yours I hope something better comes along soon!
Thanks... They say I can only have 2 hip replacements in my life cause after that, there is no more bone to connect the pieces to. It should last 10-20 yrs due to activity and age. Now my Pops being in his 70's and not very active, should last forever. I'm just tired of being in pain. Having a painful life (physically and mentally) Sorry for being a Debbie downer ...
 
Being able to solve problems that pop up without having to get an expert.
The feeling when the bills are paid.
being able to do some things I couldn;t when I was younger such as drive a car, drink alcohol legally and such.
 
What makes me feel like an adult? You mean apart from a debt mountain and feeding small humans on the daily who don’t like what you make them today even though they loved that very thing last week?

Ummm…. Hmmm…
