I work, pay rent, saving up for a deposit on a house and yes, now and then do the dirty genital smashing with other willing adults but every now and then I do forget that kids see me as an adult in the same way I see my parents and other grown ups as adults.
Datsinginguy
Not only do they see you as an adult, but at thirty they see you as "old". How does that make you feel...?
OGshogun
Smashing you say?
ThatOneGuyPablo
Same happened with my nephew. Asked if I would take him paintballing. I called my dad to ask if I could. I'm moved out already
Eldslibo
I don't feel old enough to babysit my nephew. And I'm five years older than my brother. So I can relate.
JalapenYoBizness
There are two types of adults... one with kids and one who is still a kid
Frankinbeijing
43 - still forget. Not having kids probably helps though.
kaamila
I'm 28 and I have to remind myself that I'm an adult even tho I see my parents, other older people as "real" adults
DopeyFuckedaPenguin
I am still waiting for that time it will change & I'll be like... oh fuck, I'm one of them now, NOOOOOOO!
Equreuil
I sometimes feel that way with my own child, like "who left this here and why did they think I could handle it?"
FatherDale
*looks around* Uh-oh. Guess I'm the grown-up....
InfinitusEquitas
The thought, I need an adultier adult has occurred to me quite a few times.
ThinkBackwards
*checks username* *squints* Hmmm...
SterlingArcherSecretAgent
Ha, I see myself the same way and I'm 35 :-)

I'm 30 too and I would still play with Legos if it was considered socially acceptable. The only reason for me to ever have kids would (1/2)
Vaflukongurin
be that then I would have an excuse to play with Legos. That is to say - play, not just build models of things.
kobrakaimf
I'm 47, have a son and still feel that way from time to time. I wonder if it ever goes away?
HolyShitZoom
Holy cow! You mean even at 47 I'm still gonna feel this feeling? Is this how my parent feel now? Are we all just just pretending to adult?
SirSidneyRuffDiamond
not pretending as such, you just cope? seriously you won't change, oh I'm 48 with a 15 y/o kid who is awesome
edtwozeronine
I helped potty train my nephew, it was weird.
allotherusernamestaken89
I too am technically adult but I can't keep a plant alive let alone another human.
NoFoxLeft
I was at a restaurant lately and the wait staff was all 18/20 one pulled the joke with me about lazy kids these days. I guess they think I'm
NoFoxLeft
way older than 26. It made me want to crawl into a hole.
LadyWidebottom
I have children of my own and I'm still not comfortable being the adult supervision. I'll always look for an adultier adult to do it for me.
Elonth
That awkward moment you look around the room for a more "adultier adult" and to your horror you realize that its suppose to be you.
Carefuler
I remember the first time I was called "Mister". My mother recently died, and I now have to accept, I'm the first line adult. It's scary.
AlexCory21
Well... I mean... I have a nephew too. But I'd rather ask his parent(s) before taking him out somewhere. That's just common curtosy.
tamalero
Dont worry OP, It still throws me when people call me "Don" (respect way to tell a man in my country when offering services). I feel old.
pandification
I'm an adult? Sorry, I missed the memo.
ChinaMike808
WELCOME TO REALITY INSIDE YOUR NOGGIN; it will remain that way even when you are bent, gray, half-blind and nearly deaf. 30 is forever.
fairybug
Happened to me with my sis-in-law's kids. They wanted to play in the yard, & it took way too long to realize I WAS adult supervision.

I won't be part of your system!
SaiChiMagic
My niece doesn't realise I'm an adult, but she is totally cool with me taking care of her.
housefriedricenoshrimp
So did you find someone to take you?
HolyShitZoom
Lol, I decided to be the adult. I'm no Uncle Iroh but I'm gonna give my lil neph the best best uncle ever!
TheGrinReaper
Be the uncle that Iroh knows you are
HolyShitZoom
I'm gonna uncle so good, Uncle Iroh is gonna be proud of me.
DickNomms
I'm afraid to take somebody else's kid anywhere because I don't feel responsible enough. I have my own kids.
LadyWidebottom
That's me too. Somebody asked me to watch their drink once, and I agreed but when they came back it was gone and I was none the wiser.
LadyWidebottom
I figure if I'm that bad with a glass of alcohol, you do not want me watching your children.
OldIronsides
EmergencyAustralian
I'm not sure that people can drink babies so I'm sure you'd be fine
LadyWidebottom
Yeah, but free stuff is free stuff. Who is going to pass up a free baby?
EmergencyAustralian
probably the chinese if it's a girl
SharktopusXIII
I'm not afraid of being responsible enough, I'm afraid of other parents lol
xpixelboxer
Im afraid of kids in general. These things are scary af
ProbablyHot
As a grown man im afraid to talk to any little kids. They're scary shit man. Responsibilities, money, attention. Yuk!
amyleighr
My ex used to ask me to watch his son but always criticized anything I did with him. Now I don't even want kids of my own. Some parents suck
LadyBumps
I still keep my head down on the bus when the rowdy kids from the local high school get on, in case they notice me and pick on me. I'm 38.
sheepdog7
Meh just put on the "Let me speak to your manager" haircut and take them to school.
SomethingWittyIDK
In fairness, that wouldn't stop a bunch of high school kids
Xenolith166
The Desert Eagle under your jacket might. 'Merica yeah.
JaneCalamityJane
I get it. My husband (then bf) had me forever when he once punched a punk who called me a cold bitch after I told him to stop touching me.

LeviathanOmega
In fairness I do the same. I'm 5'4" however and find large crowds intimidating. Plus, kids are shits these days.
Moriska03
I feel you, I'm 4'11"
PostNutDepression
Kids have always been shit, bro.
jtb1313
I remember being in 6th grade and thinking that grades (below me like 1st grade) got dumber and dumber each year but it was just me 1/2
jtb1313
And my grade growing up and getting smarter as a whole
PackedCatMeowingPowerDensity
6'3'' here. Crowds are okay but I get close to mental if it becomes too loud.
jtb1313
At my favorite mall they put a kids playground in the middle of the food court, I just listen to music when I go in there to pick up an 1/2

Inhuman amount of Japanese food (enough for 4 meals for 4 ppl, I have gotten odd looks from people)
bewilderbeest
I keep waiting to hit the age when I finally feel like an adult. 26. Still waiting.
Littleman88
28, never been in a relationship, earn 27k, living in apt. I feel like if a kid wanted to do something with me, I'd become a kid again too.
Littleman88
F*** knows I hate my situation and am envious enough that Trump razing everything to the ground sounds... delightful. I'm a horrible adult.
KillerTofu615
29 here checking in. I always get confused when my niece asks if I could take her places. I always think "I should ask an adult"
Cornflakes91
25, still living at home (im a poor university student with no monies to live anywhere else). far away from feeling like an adult lol
rainbowcoloredpoop
27 and very, very pregnant. Still waiting. I suspect it's never going to happen.
bewilderbeest
Congratulations, and good luck!
elninjapenguin
35, with two kids, and a mortgage, still waiting.

This thought has plagued my 32year old self for about 12 years.
OldIronsides
OldIronsides
You've been 32 for 12 years?! That's amazing!
IStillLoveYouNintendo
yes, most do that stop at 29 thing where they have a 29th birthday forever, for me i stopped at 32. :P
OldIronsides
You should tell people you are older than you are, then they could marvel at how young you look.
IStillLoveYouNintendo
I just tried to look cool and make a smooth recovery. I'm 32. LoL
