Something I don't think either one of us figured out was how to transform into Adults. We still felt like kids playing house. We didn't feel grown since at this point barely in our 20's. It was even harder as we were confused for teenagers often. We got stares as we went shopping or questions about how it felt to have to get married because I was pregnant. These questions often made me upset for their rudeness and nosiness. I would quickly point that she was born in 96 and we were married 13 months prior in 95.
One time we were at the mall and he liked to have the baby in one of those forward facing pouches. He felt they were more personal than a stroller. This lady came up to us and said she felt sorry for us kids and offered to buy us a stroller. He fortunately was able to handle the questions and rudeness better than I could and declined the offer and told her we had a stroller at home and chose not to use it.
I think the realization of this adult transformation was when we would be at home. We had no rules, no bedtimes, no parent to answer to and we were still doing the things adults would usually do like going to bed at a reasonable hour, or doing chores to keep the place sanitary. we paid the bills and were on a budget things my parents would do. Somehow it was inevitable that as I lived the life of a grown up that I would become one, but I still feel like a kid playing house sometimes.
