My late teens and 20s were about getting drunk and getting laid. Rational decisions were few and far between. I don't think I'd consider myself an adult til I was at least 30.My wife’s son from her previous marriage, my step son, is 23. He’s a fucking idiot.
I was also an idiot that somehow miraculously survived my own stupidity until I was about 28 or somewhere in that vicinity. Legal driving age, legal smoking age, legal drinking age don’t color my opinion of when you’re an adult. Biologically we’re all “adults” at around 14. Mentally we’re not fucking prepared in the slightest.
I’m at the age where I’ll probably give you latitude on your decision making until you’re at least 30. Life is fucking hard. We all made mistakes in our 20s.
