I often do things out of spite of my Mother.
Don’t get me wrong. I LOVE my Mum; we’re the best of friends, talk most days and have a great relationship but as an adult I get to defy (some of) her rules that were imposed on me as a child.
You know those rules that just don’t actually mean anything morally or ethically? Those rules that just seem to slide off a mother’s tongue like silk or hurled at you one after another like a dictator’s bullets?
I know that seems a little harsh and I’m definitely exaggerating as my upbringing was certainly far from a militia regime!
But here I am…thinking of the things I get to do as an adult that I didn’t as a child living with my parents. And so I’ve compiled a list…of top ten things I love about being a grown-up.
- i can wipe my dirty hands on my clothes if i feel like it!
- i can drink straight out of the bottle while standing in front of the open fridge
- if i wanna pay $5 for the sewing lady to sew my buttons on my jacket i can!
- i can eat cereal for dinner
- if i forget to take the DVDs or library books back on time i wont get grounded
- i can stay up to 4am on the weekend watching teen sitcoms
- i can buy breakfast, lunch & dinner all in a single day without anyone telling me i’m wasting money!
- if i get spanked it’s because i asked for it in the bedroom!
- i can go out with my friends on a “school night”
- i can use whatever grammar i like without anyone telling me off

So, what do you love most?
Haha love this post! And I so agree with the cereals! If I could and wouldn’t get a lack of whatever vitamin, I would eat cereals the whole day!
And about the money..true! But now sometimes I am saying to myself I’m wasting my money haha.

haha! at least its just you telling yourself your wasting the money!!!
Lol love it! Except for number 7, I still get in trouble for wasting money like that.. but from my husband instead haha
yes, I have the same problem….but I get my ‘allowance’ that I can do whatever I want with, so he cant really say anything about that!!!
Luv you Mel, can’t wait for you to have kids….. and I bet they won’t be able to drink out of the milk carton / juice bottle (you’ll have poppers in there) ha ha !!!! xoxo
haha, thanks Mum! love you too xx
Oh I love lots of these. Can relate to almost all of them!
I know what else you love to do – slurp your drink loudly with a straw!
