Adulting

I am 42 years old and still sometimes don't feel like an Adult. I know, I know how can that even be possible since in less than 10 years I am sure I will be a Nana to someone. I tried talking to my kids who are now by law all adults (18,18,19,20) about when I first felt like an adult. Is it weird that I think the first time I really felt like an adult was when we bought our first expensive fridge? I remember telling my husband that we sure are adults by now! I felt like an adult when we got our first deep freezer and it was completely full. Even though it pretty much had to be with four teens. You think that I would feel more like an adult when I had my children. I think I like to feel that I have always had a little bit of child in me. I hope that is how my kids have grown up knowing that although we are strict parents that have their best interest at heart that we also can wrestle and laugh with them at a moments notice. My parents were that way. We knew the rules and how to behave but we definitely could come to them to talk and laugh. I wonder with each of my children what will be the thing that makes them feel more like an adult? For some reason it was having tons of food for all my kids and the items to place them in. That is what did it for me. I guess for someone else it might be buying a new home or even graduating from college and paying their own bills. I just laugh every time I look at that huge fridge with the extra drawers and fridge part on top. That is when I felt like an adult ha! I think its good to have our inner child always be there. To not stuff them far, far away. Its good to be an adult. Adulting can be hard sometimes though so make sure that you always take a step back and let your inner child out too. I am happy to report my inner child is still ageless.
