As for me, it's seeing other adults that refuse to act like adults. And not in the fun, "oh he's got a boyish sense of fun and whimsy," but in the immature, entitled, unaccountable way.
Realizing that people can be horrible and evil. You want to see the best in people and the world, but sometimes you have to accept that there are vicious, vile, and disgusting things.
OT: When did Enty change the blog format back to the original??? I had stopped reading because I just couldn't deal with that new format :-( I saw a post on twitter that lead me back yesterday and HOORAY!!! Thanks Enty!!
I know Do Tell. I don't recall having this problem when the site used blogger.com the first time. The only difference between then and now is having to log in to comment now. Maybe that has something to do with it.
I never minded being an adult. When I was a kid I wanted nothing more than to grow up as quickly as possible and stop being a kid. But this getting old stuff now is for the birds.
Alexandria nailed it. I cant wait until i am old enough or sick enough to not care again. Gotta go get a bagel for breakfast? Where are my keys and bottle of gin. Thoughts like this help me get through the week.
I hated menstrual cramps. Suffered from them horribly. Then menopause came! My libido went up and I was so happy to not feel like dying every month. Then arthritis came to town, and various other aches and pains.
Have to agree about most music today, taxes, and worry about not having enough to retire on.
And having a libido when my husband does not, lol!
Having to have to make the decision to get my daughters dog put to sleep (cancer) and breaking their hearts when I told them he’d died (I just told them cancer) holding them till they cried themselves to sleep. Absolutely fucking horrible.
Having to support myself and realizing how expensive everything is, worrying how I'll do it for the rest of my life when I'm already tired and burnt out, make less money than I did 10 years ago, but more expenses. And also the disillusionment about how so many truly awful people exist, life isn't fair, and seeing my parents age.

Having to deal with other so-called adults who act like kids or have the intelligence level of one.
ReplyDeleteHaving to be responsible. Say the correct thing and do the correct thing all of the time...or at least most of the time.
ReplyDeleteYou get to be your unguarded self more when you are a child and then again when you are an old person.
+1 @Tricia13!
ReplyDelete😰
DeleteEverything but the drinking.
ReplyDeleteThere is nothing I dislike about being an adult. To be free and on my own and making my own decisions in life is priceless!
ReplyDelete+1 Tricia - The News hands down.
ReplyDelete+1 Boo Hearne. The plusses far outweigh the minuses.
ReplyDeleteLack of youthful energy
ReplyDeleteRealizing that people can be horrible and evil. You want to see the best in people and the world, but sometimes you have to accept that there are vicious, vile, and disgusting things.

ReplyDeleteoh wait, what i dislike? the slower metabolism SUCKS.
ReplyDeleteI generally like having the knowledge and experience of being an adult, but I would love to have a 3-month summer break again.

ReplyDeletePeople who forget how much it sucks to be a kid and complain about being adults.
ReplyDeleteMusic! Music seems to suck now I'm an adult
ReplyDeleteAlexandria nailed it. I cant wait until i am old enough or sick enough to not care again. Gotta go get a bagel for breakfast? Where are my keys and bottle of gin. Thoughts like this help me get through the week.
ReplyDeleteCount, it's never too late to start running from responsibilities, just saying lol. But I'm the worst person to take advices from 😂
DeleteTaxes. Filling out tax forms. Trying to understand my pension plan. Paperwork, basically, although it isn’t on paper any more.
ReplyDeleteOther ‘adults’
ReplyDeleteExistential dread
ReplyDeleteYeah. Being a fatalist child was so much better. We were all going to become doctors and astronauts...

@kristaylor6663: not "music", but popular music since the 1970s, with a few exceptions. Real music can make adulthood bearable.
ReplyDelete@Former CNN Anchor Candy Crowley: not a lot of genuine A-flat minor out there, with seven flats. But here's a great one:
