What was the turning point in your life ...

I think I first felt grown up last year when we were buying our house, and I got to sign something at the solicitors

ditching old uni "mates" and deciding not to get too close to too many people when i turned 27.

nothing personal, just can do with a whole less lot of grief. plus that part of the brain is reserved for someone special. 8)

Completey agree :D

When I was in my earlier teens, you see 'older folk' (for me at the time people 25 and older), and grown up. Now I realise we're all the same really, you just have to act older in some situations. Drive along in my car sometimes, back to my own place etc and think to myself: I'm still only a kid ;)

Make sense?
 
I think this question is backwards... it should be, "when did you hit that turning point and realized that you're NOT grown up?"

- Leaving home for university at 16, I thought I was all adult.
- Moving in with my girlfriend at 22, I was ageing fast.
- Moving overseas at 24, I was already winding down my career
- Getting married at 25... ok, that was just stupid
- Turning 30. That was scary. I thought I'd be drawing a pension soon.

But sometime over the past couple of years, I think when the missus chastized me for clubbing too much on weekends (isn't one night out a week enough? NO!) I realized that I'm not grown up, and I'm not planning on it any time soon! I envy those people you see at Space every summer, when you think "my god, shouldn't they be at home babysitting the grandkids?"

If growing up means letting responsibility weigh you down, limiting yourself from letting go, feeling "older", and all the other things I envisioned when I was younger and thought I was all adult, then I'll grow up when I'm dead! :D
 
The day I left the army - 23rd October 1992, I had just turned 22 and for the first time in my life I had to REALLY think for myself.
 
I know I'm definately not grown up yet 8O I still rely on my mum to wake me up in the morning/make packed lunch/wash & iron clothes :lol:

Still a spoilt brat :oops: :lol:
