Do you ever feel

CarFar · November 2010

like you are "playing house" like you are REALLY an adult ? I sometimes do. Like I'll be sitting in my house and be like this is MY HOUSE, I'm MARRIED and I go to work everyday like a "grown up" I have to pay PROPERTY TAXES and Dr. bills and I"M hosting Thanksgiving. MY PUPPY that I have to worry about and feed and care for.

I mean I guess I still sometimes feel like an imposter trying to be a grown up, kinda just still shocked (in a good way) at what my life has become. Even though paying my own dr. bills and property taxes and such isn't as much fun as spending $ on the things I was able to 5-7 years ago when I didn't have as much responsbillity.

Does this make any sense ?

Yeah it does make sense. I sometimes have those thoughts too, looking around and thinking, "I own this house. That's my husband. I have a dog and a car payment and a job and everything!" Of course, I remember all the steps leading up to all of this, but it still sometimes awes me that I am where I am with all that I have.

YES. And it is sometimes a little crazy. Ok a lot of the time a little crazy!

It only gets weirder when you have kids! I look at H and think...I'm your Mom?!?! Whoa.

I still think of myself as a 20 year old that can't wait for her birthday and doesn't bring a jacket out because she might lose it and will just drink or dance to warm up, lol.

Honestly, not anymore, but I used to. About being married and making decisions as a spouse. I would say I stopped feeling that way about 3 years ago. I also don't own a house or have kids so I still feel like I'm waiting for some grown up things, too. But I do sometimes feel like an impostor as a teacher.

I know what you mean. I still can't believe I graduated from college and that was 4 years ago. The idea of being married still feels like a game, although I think the fact that DH and I have been relatively calm lately (by way of life troubles and drama---or now that I think about it, maybe we just know how to deal with that stress better?) has something to do with it. Still feels like we're faking it and getting away with something.

Honestly, no. Most of the time I just feel overwhelmed and like I have too many responsibilities and would love to go back to being a kid again. But then, I don't have a house and I got married later in life than many people do.

I totally agree with this! I still trip out that I'm a mom.

the first year we were married i'd be doing something totally mundane and suddenly think, "wow, i'm married. to drew. that's sooooo weird."

Yup. 90% of the time I feel like the nanny.
