Wow!

When was the first time you really felt like a grown up (if ever)?

When you live at home after college you have to get a job. Bit getting that job consists of making sure it pays well and they have good benefits. Meaning your ass has medical insurance because at this point you are no longer on your parents insurance.

Then after being at this good job that pays well with medical insurance, they have a thing called a 401(k) that you can invest in. Then on top of thar there’s a retirement plan. What in the hell is all of this?

I went from high school to college to a good paying job that provides me with medical insurance and the option to invest. Now with all of those things deducted from my paycheck you expect me to go out and live in the real world? How about I live at home, pay a bill and try to save my money. Because I’m starting to feel like an adult but not ready yet.

Life goes on and you get pregnant now you have to care for yourself and another human being. It is at this point that I’ve felt grown up. All the things that my mom did for me, I now have to do for this tiny human being. But not even then.

It wasn’t until I left a relationship and moved out with my kids and had to start a new life. Getting up to get myself ready, get the kids up for breakfast then get them ready for school. Make sure we all have everything before heading out. Put my stuff in the car and then walk with them to the bus stop and wait until the bus came and they were in it. Then get into my car and head to work. Work , get off go pick them up from the babysitter, head home, cook, eat, go over homework, get them ready for bed, relax until bed time and staet all over again the next day.
