I generally unbundle age and adulthood.
For me the definition has always been "an adult owns up to their own mistakes".
Which is the shorter version of "A child doesn't care about their mistakes, a teenager expects others to fix them and an adults own up to them".
This allows me to categorise older people who I feel like don't act like adults.

- inanutshellus 2y agoYes, shockingly my tween-made definition of adult wasn't very adult. ;)
