When did adulthood kick in?

Question

Hey I wanted to ask other women, what age were you when you got your full maturity as a woman? Meaning knowing how to balance work, relationships, life, education all along with the struggles of life? And what situations made you strong enough to not run from challenges? I’m 21 years old btw. I feel I’m just now ready  to stop running from things and face them. For example I would run to a different job when I had managers & employees that didn’t like me. Etc I’m just now feeling a push to fight. Is this normal?

Answer

I’m 25, married, educated, and have my second kid on the way and I’m not there yet so idk the answer 😂

Answer

Shit we were supposed to mature?! I'll be 35 there's no hope. Save yourselves....honestly tho it depends on you and not others. Everyone matures at their own pace, it isn't a race.

Answer

That’s not womanhood, that’s just adulthood. Decide on what you want and work towards that, make small goals and celebrate accomplishing them. Just make your habits. It’s different for every person how they mature and handle it, but being an adult and managing responsibilities never gets easier, you just have to get better at it

Answer

I got married at 17, so at that time I thought I had it all figured out. We moved from AZ to WA.
I've definitely grown a lot since then.
I'm now almost 22, still married, educated. Coasting until, Next year when we move to TX. We will have rental properties and a new home and a dog.
I feel like that's when I'll be in full adulthood, being a bad ass.
I say that now, but each chapter in life is a new experience,preparing us for the next amazing,bigger thing.

Answer

I’m 29. I had my first child and married my husband at the age of 18. I think it has slowly happened to me over the years without me knowing. I think back on things I said or did when I was younger and I feel as if some of it is just plain stupid. Or I’ll hear a younger person/teenager say or do something and I’ll think to myself “why, just why? I did the same thing and that is just stupid, they will learn just like I did” 
When my mom used to tell me “you will understand when you get older” I totally get what she meant now! But you cannot give advice to people because most people have to learn on their own.

Answer

That's not what womanhood means

Answer

I’m 38 and I don’t feel like an adult. Doesn’t help that I’m 4foot 11 3/4 inches tall. But like when something bad happens and everyone turns and says 
“Somebody get an adult” 
I will relay the message and turn around and shout 
“Somebody get an adult!”
Then I realize....
I’m the adult now....

Answer

Also, I’ve been through a lot of shit so no challenge is too big for me. I was in an abusive relationship, I have a drug addicted mother who let men molest me for drugs at a young age, I was shipped off to boarding school by my dad for my suicidal tendencies, was raped and impregnated at 15 and delivered a stillborn alone in a hospital at 16, fell madly in love with the most wonderful person I ever met and then he was sent to prison only months later for DUI homicide, dropped out of college and became homeless because my dad wouldn’t let me come home, totaled my vehicle and went through my windshield and survived, pennied up to save up for 2 different surgeries for my endometriosis, lost an apartment because I subleased you my mother and she went to jail and the rent went unpaid, got robbed at gunpoint for everything I owned, and got pregnant at 21 while working an incredibly hard job that I loved and married that man who had gone to prison but gotten out, then bought a home together and 3 yrs later got pregnant with another baby. 
Life is easy to me now due to all that bullshit I have been through. I always have this mindset that it can be so so so much worse.

Answer

I think that’s just something you gradually learn more and more as you age. I don’t think there’s like a set time where people know all of those things and can practice them perfectly. Everyone can do things in ways that aren’t necessarily the best.

Answer

Mid twenties or so.
