  • Yes. I’m 43, married to my college sweetheart, we have three boys, a house in the suburbs, own a business, take care of my family, and am responsible for everything. Becoming completely independent of any outside help is part of it. Having others that depend on you to handle anything that comes along is the next part. Becoming an adult isn’t a switch, it’s a gradient. Having kids definitely catapults you along, though. I don’t know how grown up I would be right now if I were unmarried and childless, but I’m guessing less so. Above all else, becoming responsible for an entire family is the thing that did it for me, and even that was a gradient.
