Is it fun being an adult?

[Sejs]

I have a question to ask you. Is it fun being an adult?

Last night alone I ate my dessert before my dinner, did whatever I wanted to do on the computer, stayed up far past what should have been my bed time, and got to snuggle with my girl without having to be sneaky about it.


Yes. Being an adult is quite fun.

Absolutely!

I have disposable income, a wife who loves me, and after a long, hard day my son jumps up and runs over to give me a hug. Life is sweet.

I could lose everything tomorrow, but right now, I'm on top. And there is no way I could be this happy as a child. I though so then, but now as an adult I know better.

Pal, it's fun just being.

Compared to the alternative, I have to agree with you.

What's not to like? Oh, wait. Well, sorry, that's your fault.

But, hey. Guns. Cars. Women. Gaming. Cash. Suits. Life could be worse.

Two words: rum!

Because you've had so much that the words just seem to double up on you?

But then again there is the whole sex thing so I guess it balances out

I still get to play games and pal with my friends on weekends. Raising my kids is a joy, and I married this amazing, gorgeous woman who enjoys the whole sex thing as much as I do... so yeah, being an adult is fun!

Much wisdom, already. To quote (from here and elsewhere):

"It's fun just being."
"You get out of adulthood what you put into it."
"The unexamined life is not worth living."
"Most people are just about as happy as they decide to be."

Sorry to be Zen, but if those don't make sense, you probably wouldn't understand the long version, either. Trust me when I say all are true, though.

Having a job I love and am passionate about helps. Having a great wife and kids sends it over the top - Life as an adult is great!

Your attitudes and the choices you make today will be your life tomorrow, build it wisely. Sorry for the coach speak - we old football coaches just cannot help it.

I have the great blessing of at least believing that each day is better than the last. Whether or not that is true remains to be seen, but at this point I don't really care.

Well..you have bills, responsibilities, job, yardwork.......at first glance, I would say no.

Then I remember that you also get women, so yes, being an adult is good
