things that make you feel like you fail as an adult

you get home from work and your mom has made your bed and folded the laundry in the dryer. and is sorting your expired coupons out from your file folder. and she's only been there 3 hours.

Re: things that make you feel like you fail as an adult

  • My friend had a similar moment yesterday at lunch.  She was talking about her age and how she thought she'd be in a different place in her life by now.  She summed it up like this:  "I mean, I'm 38.  I'm 38 and my mom does my taxes.  OMG, I'm 38 and my mom does my taxes?!"
  • I'm sleep deprived (we have a very sick pup who has had me up 4-5 times per night the last 3 nights) so this has a lot to do with what I'm about to say, but it's NO excuse.

    #1 Yesterday I left the gas fireplace on while I went to the store.

    #2 After the 5th time of being woken up by Brodie last night I brought him in, locked the back door & stumbled half asleep back to bed. Well our back door can be tricky to shut sometimes and you have to pull it until it "clicks." DH woke up to the back door locked, but wide open this morning. Thank god we have a fenced in backyard at least. Brodie was passed out asleep in his bed anyway.

    Yep. Just call me Mrs. Responsible. I fail at life. Apparently if I don't burn the house down,  I'll just invite people into our home to rob & kill us.

    This made me lol.

  • I really thought I would own a house by now or at least have some fricking money in savings for it. This IS going to be the year that ball gets rolling.

  • DH and I are still living with my parents. Enough said.

  • Oh are we all jumping on this bandwagon? 

    My parents paying for my gym membership while I'm unemployed so I don't get fat again. 

  • We borrowed $ from DH's mom while he is out of commission with his broken foot.  Yes.  He is still at home, out of work, since BEFORE Christmas.

  • DH's grandparents paid our taxes last year. Embarrassed

    I also keep checking the mail hoping my Grandmother didn't forget my birthday (it was in Jan) because I was really depending on her birthday money to pay off some debt.

    In my sleep deprived state I left the FRONT freaking door unlocked. It was unlocked about 24 hours before I saw it. This was earlier this week Embarrassed
