Today, I turned 30. While all my friends are getting married, furthering careers and having children, I'm still sat around being as immature as I was as a teenager. I'm going through a classic case of premature age-jaculation. I laughed for 10 minutes after coming up with that. FML

OP here, love all you guys who appreciate the pun, and don't you all worry I do not live at home, I have a job and am not a serial sponger.

If you hate it that much, do something about it. Only you can make those changes.

What if I told you that people don't necessarily 'grow up' even when circumstances like marriage and kids come along? I'm getting married as soon as I can afford it, living with a long-term partner, thinking about the future etc, and I'm still basically exactly the same as when I was a teenager. Looks like those circumstances haven't come along for you yet, but that's just chance.

"I'm still sat around..."??? You've got the grammar skills of a teenager too.

It may not be strictly correct, but that phrasing is actually fairly common in parts of the UK.

In the UK, that phrasing is incredible common. Even the most intelligent, grammatically aware of people use it out of habit. Just like I'm an English graduate and know fully well it's grammatically incorrect but still sometimes say "are you going shop" instead of "are you going to the shop" because that's how people from my area speak.

Don't be downbeat, that was still an awesome pun!

Wouldn't it be POSTmature age-actulation? Since it's taking you longer than it should to grow up? Physically, you are mature.

Marriage and kids isn't something to rush into. Still love a lot of the stuff I was into growing up, but if you mean you are 30 haven't been working mainly because lack of effort yeah that's a problem. Also if you are going out every weekend and partying like you are 21 that's also a bad sign. I'm gonna be 31 and after years of working full time I'm going back to school full time to pursue what I wanted to do. Getting older doesn't mean you can't be goofy, but you gotta have responsibilities.

Buddy, as long as u r happy, stress free and living to the full, then it doesn't matter. One has to be ready before taking on responsibilties. Marriage and kids is not the end or final destination of life. So happy age jaculating ;)

I used to date a guy who was 38 and immature. Still hasn't gotten his shit together. He'd rather play computer games and live with his mother. My point? OP you deserve it. Grow up and get your life together. Not saying you have to get married or anything...but at least try to be more adult.

The only thing he wasn't ready for was commitment. I was willing to support him while he tried to find a job with his degree he has. His mother doesn't want him there...says he needs to "grow up".
