I do not have children, and I am an adult, thank you for playing.
This. Although I admit that even though I'm now thirty-one, have not lived with my parents since I finished college, have had a full-time job/dealt with paying bills while unemployed since graduating, and have had a mortgage since I was twenty-five, I don't always feel like I'm an adult. I think this has less to do with the fact that I'm not married and don't have children and more to do with the fact that I've been living with friends from college in too small/dorm-like living quarters, and that after I graduated my college friends and I became friends with a bunch of undergraduates in the science fiction club. So it was sort of like still being in college, except with more bills and fewer classes. Or maybe it's that we occasionally pretend to kick each other in the shins. My roommate and I are each other's bratty little brother, I swear.
