Adulting is fucking relentless and a drag at times. My kids are all "you grown ups can spend as much as you want and buy whatever you like and do whatever you want" and I'm like "yeah but the minutiae child, the minutiae!"
I can spend 10 hours on my phone and have nuggets for breakfast lunch and dinner.
I also have to call the electricity companies.
Haha, sweet children, flexibility of time and money is never free, it comes at a cost... I saw how much of a toll all the usual expectations took on my mum and didn't particularly look forward to that part when growing up tbh.
