Do you know anyone that still hasn't grown up?

[dejr_8]

MY BIL is such a person. He is almost 40 and still talks about cars like he is high school. He's not married. My MIL still does his taxes, buys him clothes, decorates his house... I can see that my MIL needs to cut the apron strings.

Growing old is inevitable, growing up is optional.
My husband has a friend that lives by this motto. He just turned 60.

I think your BIL's strings are made of steel.

 

[RadioNate]

My father and most of his friends. They all live independently, pay their bills, cook their food, etc etc. They have the mechanics of being a "grown up" down. BUT they are so immature it is sickening. There are times my 8 year old is more mature.

Me

 

[Stitchfans]

Yes but the one that stands out the most to me is my Son in law. He is by far the most immature, self centered person I have ever met. There has got to be something mentally wrong with him. I hope some day my DD wakes up and divorces him. She could do so much better.

It's not worth getting into here, but my father seemed to start going backwards in maturity as he got older. Or maybe it's just that I was getting older and finally realized that he acts very much like a selfish teenager.

Also one of my current roommates. She's 24, always behind on bills, never cleans up the house, leaves a mess everywhere, eats food that isn't hers, tries to pay rent late every single month, etc.

My dad was like that for quite a while. It took us a few years to convince him, he had a drinking problem. Now that he is having some medical issues, he is SO much nicer and like the great dad I had growing up.

One of my roommates in college was like your current roommate, in default on everything, chronic pothead, hardly took a shower, but a nice girl. It took a long time (5 years) to get her act together. Ironically, now she works as a supervisor for a collections agency and when I lived with her she only got calls from them, lol. In a few weeks, I'm proud to say, I'm going to her wedding.

I have a "friend" that is 30, he still lives with his mom. Spends all his money on "toys", trades his car in every other year. His parents still cook and clean for him. He has one small child and never sees him, he is believes he doesn't need to do anything with him.
This guy is a very immature person and selfish. I don't think he'll ever change.

 

[NC State]

Yes, my 32 year old brother. He stays at home with my parents our mother does everything for him. He does carry on the family business but he's just a big baby. Never married, has the same girlfriend for over seven years and she the same too. She's a 30 year old staying at home with her parents, been out of a job for a year and will not apply for a job, she has her parents and friends looking for her.

 

[bunnyfoo]

My fiance's dad - he whines when things aren't done his way and if no one pays attention, he'll complain louder and start pushing buttons until someone notices. He also thinks his advice is the best and that no one else can be right. Most of that I just ignore but it bugs me that he'll just leave dirty dishes in the sink and trail of food wrappings in the kitchen. Yuck!

You'd think he was 6 instead of 60 something

 

[frisco]

I'm married with 3 kids, but I'm still a big kid. I like going to concerts, Disney, playing games with my kids. I get mad when the Patriots lose.

Most males under 45... some under 50!

I had a friend like that, except she never had a child. She is in her late 30s, never moved out of her "old bedroom" and is in a deadend job. It really doesn't matter because her parents still pay for all of her expenses. Her mother has issues with "letting her baby go" (her mother's exact words).

She is selfish, immature and irresponsible. I don't talk to her that much anymore because I just couldn't deal with her issues. Or her mother.

My brother, age 58. He's very proud of it, too.

It sure sucks to have friend's that really don't live life.

I am only an adult when the situation calls for it.

 

[I'mNoPrince]

ME ME ME ME so what I have held a job from the time I was 14 and go to work every day. I take care of my Family and not only a Great Father but also a Friend to my 15 yr old DD.

I'm close enough to 50 to smell it but I still Play Paintball on a regular basis and Help with many of DDs Soccer teams by running drills with them (not for them).

I can go toe to toe with most when it come to Tech stuff and use my Cell for many things teenagers do . I love Disney and doing all the Rides ,made DD ride Dumbo last trip at 3am in the morning.

If by Growing up you mean looking at everyone else and what they are doing and not worrying about myself then NO Thanks.

Look into a mirror before looking out the Window and you might get a better view.

Well that sounds like me (aside from the Patriots thing ) I just "chaperoned" my son's band trip to an amusement park just so I could ride the rollercoasters. Also, I will readily shell out money for concert tickets because I love the rush. We are not immature, we are FUN!

Know what's immature? My almost-50 BIL who has been in and out of jail since I've known him for DUI charges. He crashed 2 cars that we sold him. His mom helps pay his rent and now drives him everywhere (since he will never be able to have a license again, thank God). Heaven forbid when she's not around anymore...he will certainly be homeless because nobody else is going to do those things for him.

 

[look1angel]

My Ex-husband without a doubt, still chasing the next new toy. Very, very needy, has never been on his own & lived with his parents till he was 30 & moved back in with them during the divorce at 45. I should have seen the signs but "Love is blind".

 

[tonilea]

My uncle suffers from Peter Pan syndrome.

ETA: Maybe he doesn't "suffer" from it - some times I think he enjoys it!
