Reality About Growing Up

Ever wonder how you started as a baby and always imagine how you went from a minor to an adult. How you use your mother a hard and make a mess argue a lot. Everything that happened in your life vanishes, we wake up to being an adult and having your own family. Like, what happened to not paying bills and having to think when your next paycheck would come knowing it will either go to your house or car insurance and a whole lot of other things. As a child, they have nothing to worry about in life. Your mind is just what happened? So much fun and all the other great things in life as a kid. But no, at some period of being a child, we wanted to hurry up and grow. But are we ready for the responsibility? Were we just angry at our parents because we did not do what we wanted at that time? We are stuck. Arguing with our parents were worthless because they know about life more and that we were too stubborn to listen.

As a child, you are responsible for two things chores and school. Unlike being an adult, children have to focus on getting good grades and making sure they go to college. At home, at a certain age, the child is responsible for chores around the house. Nobody likes doing chores, simpler than having a job, and being forced to do it. You are not allowed to do your job at your own time and are strictly to apply their rules. Being a child, you can play and do everything at your timing and do certain things. We might say parents do not understand us. In reality, at the same time, we do no understand their struggle when doing everything for their children. There are so many things children could do to have fun without worries. That includes going out with friends at a park, like playdates. When their birthday comes up, friends come over, now considered a party. As a minor, we do not think about anything. We become an adult to think about everything we need to do. Nowadays, children want to move out and get their place and want to grow up. But hopefully, they understand it is not as easy as it looks because you need parents to start adulthood. Adults need to have credit, a big major thing in getting their place. Then the amount of income you earn, which does not seem enough, you don't get your first apartment. Then, getting your first credit card, you can't get one until you have credit. But you can not have either because you need to earn credit to get a credit card and a certain amount of income.

Now certain people live the lives their parents had before them. They are feeling their struggle, working eight-hour shifts, and getting not enough pay. Having children is a huge responsibility, cleaning after them, giving them attention, and much more. Every parent loves their children giving parents the hard and the best times of their lives. Everything that we thought was the best time of our lives is much more than having fun. Being an adult is commitment and engaging in growing up to do things you did not do as a child. So for those who are out of their parents' lives, you understand the explanation here. And those who still live with your parents do not take them for granted. Parents know what is best for their children, and the struggle is real. Children do not understand the reality of growing up. Eventually, they will find out. Enjoy being a kid while you still can because growing up is a hard reality.
