POLL: At what point do you become a "full on adult?"

More of a process than a point, in my opinion.

None of it's black and white. What does being a kid or an adult even mean?

The question came from your reply about the student athlete not being a "Full on adult"

JohnnyComeLately

10/24/19 5:27pm

My point here and from the original is that we try to break down all of humanity

fattycoug

Ok so how do you define someone as being "full on adult" in your mind?

JohnnyComeLately

10/24/19 5:33pm

I don't know, really. I'm just acknowledging that a college kid can be a "kid"

fattycoug

Uh, I think that is the point of the ultimate question in the OP. When does

I'd say it's a process. A little more critical after college, a little more

The original post came from someone taking umbrage that a mom

Not sure, but people who pat themselves on the back for "adulting" are annoying

When you are at a point you can care for yourself and someone else

10/24/19 5:35pm

When you're not being supported financially by parents etc.

Interesting, lets say that a person supports themselves financially and then loses a job.

JohnnyComeLately

10/24/19 5:37pm

No. Once you become an adult, you have that forever.

VACOUGFAN

My older brother will be happy to hear this.

JohnnyComeLately

That means half of adults aren't adults.

Sadly true.

When you're married or finish college, whichever comes first.

Whenever you become financially independent.

TNT will never be an adult.
