When was the first time you really felt like a grown up (if ever)?

View all responses

The first time I felt like a grown up was when I was 23 years old and I have just given birth to my first born child. At this point I have been married for 2 years, we bought a house, and I have just what I thought recovered fully from my eating disorder that had been running ramped for little over a year. It had hit me their in the hospital as I was holding my baby that he would depend on me for everything and that I would have to be his voice and no how to encourage him to thrive. That is when I knew I was a grown up.
