Well, victimizer, anyway.

There's an add that comes on Pandora targeting young adults getting mortgages. At the end the woman says, "Time to start adulting!".

I wish to murder.

Hello,

I would think adulting would include speaking like an adult.

The same contrivance that turned being a parent into parenting.

Related to this, I'd really like parents to stop calling their kids their "littles."

What? As in, short for, what the fuck? It really seems like language is being infantalized.

I oppose all those fucking words. I'm an adult who is a parent and has a child. Because I'm not a 13 year old child parent and I can use real fucking words.

I think it's partly because adolescence socially and culturally now extends at least into most folks 20s if not 30s. But my and my age-group are now in our late 30s, it's time to stop "adulting" and just be a fucking adult.

Hello,

This one:



When do parents have to sneak home and lie to their daughter about having been out to a restaurant/movie/date? In my home, this would not be an issue. I understand adults that act like kids and kids that act like adults are cuter and thus may sell more widgets but this one is over the top stupid.

The word 'rents for parents is another one.

Yeah, never been a fan of the role reversal trope.

Who has time to say "pa" in this crazy workaday world?
