I Don't Want to Grow Up!

Sometimes people don’t really want to grow up. Some of those people still get married – and some of those people have babies. All of those people hurt the ones they’ve vowed to protect.

The “I don’t wanna grow up” types believe that being married and having children should in no way curtail fun times.

Sometimes it’s their hobbies. Is playing Star Craft II for three consecutive days (non-stop) healthy?

Or, it’s hanging with the buddies. Is binge drinking okay during the work week?

These immature types choose their own immediate gratification over their obligations and well-being of their (supposed) loved ones.

It is very difficult to reach these folks. I remember a guy saying that his 27-year old girlfriend does not want to go out. She seems depressed for not having a job and for being away from him. She is waiting for him to marry her but her guy doesn’t have a job either. He is 31. Go figure!

The bottom line is that these types do not live to give anything, hence they make bad spouses and parents – and they show their spots when you’re dating. Yes, the signs were there when dating and these folks choose to ignore them. Some of you wish to be blind because “you’re in love” or you’re desperate, or you think it’ll change, or it seemed cute at that time.

Here’s another story from a young woman who ought to jump ship. She says that her boyfriend has a low-paying full time job. He doesn’t save his money because he wants to buy all of these new fool stuff. He has a car that runs pretty good and he has no ambition to move out and be independent of his parents. On the other hand, this young woman, have been on her own for five years and have a newer car, a decent job, and makes the same amount of money he does. This guy wants a brand-new-car and he can’t afford it. He doesn’t want to move away from home either. So she says, “his priorities as an adult are all backward and it drives me nuts!”

It drives me nuts that she even calls him a boyfriend!

Clearly, there is no evidence that he will be a committed, responsible, trustworthy, or competent husband or father.

He must be cute?
