This last 4th of July I caught myself telling my cousin's kids, "IN OR OUT! Stop opening the door, the a/c is on!"

[@missnaomi613]

🤣🤣🤣😂 I feel you!

[@quackquack1985]

I’ve heard that too many times..

[@rebeccarichmond1443]

I walk 3 to 4 mornings a week with my BFF/neighbor. Last week I told her we needed to postpone a few minutes because I was pooping. She got so excited because I hadn't been able to go for a few days. Then I realized that I'm so old that not only do I get excited about being able to poop, but so does my best friend - which means we're talking about our poop issues together. I remember the days when my bestie and I talked about guys and makeup. Now it's laxatives and the best melatonin.

[@angelizramos88]

My girl friend and I went to Lowe's to check out fridges. I actually teared up at the one that you can look into without opening. It was so majestic!!

[@chelseaclerke948]

"It was so majestic" that got me 🤣

[@michellenelson2097]

My husband got us a new washer/dryer recently. I have never been more excited to do laundry in my life! I was giddy! I wanted to wash ALL the things and try out all the settings.

[@donknox3945]

I knew I was an adult when I walked from my car to my house and saw a piece of trash on the ground and realized “l had to pick that up, no one else is going to do that.” I’m an adult home owner.

[@josephbleeker7060]

I was at a restaurant, and for my drink, I ordered water. With lemon. On purpose.

[@gabbybrooks6004]

Lmao! Good job.

[@naowright9308]

I used to do that when I was 15.

[@kellypierce6839]

That's what I almost always get! 😂😂😂 (Or unsweetened tea with lemon! 😁)

[@chrisbecker4412]

Okay, but lemon water is really good!!!

[@naowright9308]

So, my husband is a builder and he put in tile counter tops. My sister made us cookies as a house warming gift and two crumbs fell on the grout. The oil stained the grout for forever. As time went on other things spot stained the grout even more. So, we moved into another house my husband built (he likes to flip houses) with tile countertops. I went first thing and poured oil over all the grout so it was all stained at the same time, together. Then it didn't matter if a crumb fell on it or if milk spilled on it because it was already the color it was going to be.😁 #adulting hard

[@chileanita1]

When I scrub the shower and feel even more refreshed the next time I hop in 😂 #adulting

[@musicalifornia49]

I am now a 19 year old daycare provider and I have turned into my mom. Clean when you're bored, be quiet, eat your veggies, etc. Seeing a freshly vacuumed floor is amazing

[@dianaw4072]

My two boys, 9 & 13, have held at least a 3 week record for making their lunches every night before bed. AND they do their chores after dinner! THAT is adulting done right! And I'm not behind on laundry. It's all folded and put away! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@annachaney5652]

I got excited when Grout cleaner worked on my kitchen tiles

[@teambeining]

Do a song on failed adulting - like managing multi-million dollar projects at work yet forgetting to pay your rent on time.

[@lisawillett7410]

YES-UNADULTING, OR ADULTING WENT WRONG, LAZY ADULTING LOL

[@piiinkDeluxe]

that's me lmao

[@juliakbrown]

I got really upset the other day when I went to buy gardening supplies and forgot to use the coupon I had in my wallet. #adultingfail

[@average13]

I feel like I’m adulting when I get jealous of my neighbors getting new windows, siding, furnace, etc.

[@constancemiller3753]

Feel ya.

[@brittanylove222]

Yessss- mine was a new fence and railings 😍😂

[@mindymatt92]

I have a few examples: I just moved into my own apartment... I got excited when I found out microwave splash guard lids were a thing, that way I wouldn't have to constantly wash the microwave. And I went welcome mat shopping and had to find the welcome mat that perfectly represented me and what I wanted to tell my visitors XD

[@dsolomon]

When your Christmas wishlists are full of practical things like small kitchen appliances, car repair tools, school supplies, luggage, table linens, and towels.

[@erin7626]

I put a vacuum for the steps on my Christmas list. 🤷‍♀️

[@jaymoney3648]

I like how most of the adulting things Penn did were in the same week and for the first time. Also, I thought his child like excitement for doing said things was great. Good job, Penn!

[@eileenwelter90]

Another fun video, I laughed so hard at the “flushing” joke Penn said. Dad jokes are terribly amazing. My husband and I just moved from Arkansas, back to Florida and we got excited about our new home having sprinkler system (our 4 last places haven’t) and I fished over the live oak trees dripping with Spanish moss. My husband told me how the trees will help keep the house shaded. He is 30, I’m 29. Adulting man...

[@jessicagoughnour8855]

My new passion is organizing!!! I’m 41...and would of never thought of it 20 years ago!!!

[@elizabethkosbab3690]

I spent a ridiculous amount of time researching vacuums and then got super excited to purchase it using a coupon! My favorite gifts now as an adult include things like a laminator. My kids' chore charts never looked so good! 😂

[@ashleyhickman422]

I felt like a real adult when I bought my own birthday present a washer and dryer. Also felt old when I realized I hadn’t gotten socks or underwear for Christmas and was sad.

[@tracyschrack3797]

Remember when you were young and you would put old jeans on and find 20 dollars in it and be all “I am hitting the clubs tonight!” Now I get excited to find out I over paid the water bill last month by a few bucks! #adultingsohard #adulting

[@jenbrosey8871]

I would love to see another video on adulting ! It helps me to feel less "lame" to see others enjoying/embracing the things my teens roll their eyes at.

[@fantasygirl4547]

My husband and I did a happy dance over a small part for our broken washer. We had gotten so excited once we ordered the part that in 3 to 7 days it will be up and running again. Saving us multiple trips to a laundry mat. Lol we're adulting so hard.

[@ck050909]

I adult so hard that when I invited a friend over for coffee with her son. I not only cleaned the house but I went shopping for snacks and food her little boy liked encase he stayed for lunch AND I got out the posh tea set and a selection of biscuits on a plate. .... I even complained my tea set was not posh enough and now I'm excitedly shopping on Amazon for a complete tea set like I wont use more than once...#adultinginEngland

[@Evieisnumber1]

I now want to drink tea with you.

[@missnaomi613]

Just, wow.

[@RS-gu5vo]

I spent all day (4:30am-3:00pm) doing laundry. When I got done, all the baskets(and piles) in the house were empty, I took pictures and sent them to my husband at work. I felt like I had just climbed Mt Everest! I also wake up at 5:00 on Saturday to go get the shopping done without kids and before the crowds get there.

[@charitywsilva]

My family loves your fun videos! They sure make me laugh. Adulting can be hard! Here are some of my experiences: *Multiple phone calls to find out if my insurance will pay for a lab test, *Hours of research to find a safe and affordable hotel in LA, *Getting excited when my children have school lunch the next day, *Making sure school projects are completed & turned in on time, *Coordinating 4 parent-teacher conferences so they'll be back to back (only 1 trip to the school), *Meal planning & cooking dinner, *Adding school events to the calendar so we don't forget, *Making sure my children have clean clothes to wear, *Sweeping All the tile in the house, *Paying bills on time, *Reading all emails from 4 school teachers, *Wishing it wasn't so hard to remember when to return library books, *Labeling food in fridge to know how long to keep, *Remembering after-school snacks for the car, *Enjoying my children before they are all grown up!!!

[@julieb2102]

I realized when I was so I excited that my grocery pick-up order had zero missing items or substitutions 😅

[@whisperingeaglelanders2339]

I am my Mother's Caretaker for 10 years now. I am an artist and I've had to put away all my things to take care of her (I love her dearly) ...out of sheer BOREDOM I picked up crocheting again after 40 tears. My Mother looked over at me one night and said, "What are you Crocheting, Granny?" Grrrr...😬🤣😂

[@missnaomi613]

I've been crocheting since I was a kid. (About 10. I'm now 48.) It's a great, portable art form! 👍❤️🙏

[@branditodaro7410]

Choosing a house based on school districts for the littles, not how close it is to anything, especially work. My husband drives 45 min one way to work!

[@mangot589]

Brandi Todaro IKR? My husband switched jobs, and to keep our kid in our school district, he now gets the joy of driving 60 miles each way to work. In bumper to bumper traffic. He considers getting home in 2 hours a good drive.

[@chelseaclerke948]

I think you won not just adulting but selfless adulting! 👌👏

[@eviewesner6231]

You know you've arrived when you keep up with house work so you don't have to do it later. #adulting

That’s a chapter in the kids condensed version of The Adventures of Frog and Toad! I read it to my 8-yr-old this week and was silently going, “Yeah, Life Goals.”

I kinda had that feeling when I caught up on washing my son's cloth diapers: smaller load than usual, fully stocked fir the first time in a while. Yes, we use cloth diapers. Don't look at me in that tone of voice

Using PTO to meet with your financial advisor, get your wills done with your attorney, and going to the doctor for a checkup (not because you’re sick).

[@thecraftycatholic1254]

We all get adulting credits for knowing what PTO is!!!!

[@barbora2832]

@@thecraftycatholic1254 My sister and her friend calls the adulting credits XPs and you can upgrade and downgrade depending how much you nail or fail adulting. And on your birthday you level up. Love that system.

[@stephanietaylor8615]

We were waiting to get picked up at the airport last weekend, and saw some really cool cars. Saw a Tesla model X, and the falcon-wing doors in action, etc. But what did we squeal in delight about? When the woman next to us and her kids got picked up, her stroller folded up super small, super quickly. We couldn't contain ourselves! 😂 She heard us and told us which stroller it was, then looked at us again, saw our two kids and said "It also comes in a double!" We were so freaking excited 🤣

[@samantham1346]

Oh my gosh, I wrote my comment with my adulting examples and then promptly went and watched a video about favorite cleaning products. And wasn’t even mad about it! #old 😰😂

[@jenisedai]

I replaced my mailbox all by myself! It's the first non-group mailbox I've ever had, so just having it made me feel adult. Now it's bright blue on a white post with white numbers and a red flag- so pretty!

[@TG-zu2ih]

Lol! Thank you, I loved this. I researched different types of fluorescent light bulbs, rewired our light fixture in the closet for LED and replaced the bulbs. ADULTING! It took me a month to woman-up and just do it.

[@AshleyNebs]

Not only do I make my own granola, I dry the fruits for it as well. With the dehydrator I asked for, for Christmas last year. I bought a leg elevation pillow. My husband has a gym membership he not only uses, but knows what machines are being used when by other people. And we plan supper around it. We program the thermostat, with great detail, it was a thoughtful conversation. We have payment plans. And all are paid on time. It’s embarrassing how long it took me to buy vitamin c on Amazon, reading reviews, comparing cost per pill, comparing ingredients and their origins, I made side by side picture comparisons. I settled on one, and we made sure to add it to subscribe and save to save 15%. I spent $18 on vitamin C and about an hour. Not the cheapest OJ, and calling sour patch kids a good source of vit c. When does this happen?

[@GreyMinerva]

I once ended up going BEYOND adulting into "crotchety old lady", "Get off my lawn!"-mode. It was boiling hot outside, I'd just got home from a walk to the store (about 15 minutes), and realized upon checking the receipt - and control-weighing the bag - that they'd overcharged me about $5 for my candy. No way. So, leaving Jr. safely in front of the television, I promptly RETURNED to the store (still a 15 minute walk in fry-eggs-on-the-pavement heat), showed them the bag and the receipt and got my $5 back... Must have been sunstroke.

[@lehs1234]

I recently found my trying out coffee mugs to see which one was more comfortable to hold.

[@KoiBoy6]

My adulting is taking a day off of work today to get stuff done around the house without being bothered. If I was younger I wouldn't get out of bed until noon and then accomplish nothing. I've gotten two kids and my wife out the door, fixed the garage door opener, did the dishes, and will soon clean the koi pond and mowing. My the end of the day a couple window screens will be fixed, errands run, and I will make time for Bed Bath and Beyond......so sad...My kids have learned it from me as well. Back when Frozen came out we went to Disney and the meet and greet line for Anna and Elsa was 4 hours. My daughter was 6 at the time and told me we had better things to do than sit in line for that.

Loved this. My younger self would be mortified to see how excited I got when Walmart shipped me xl puppy pads instead of the regular size by mistake. Also how my hubs and I will tell anyone who will listen how great the bidet attachments are that you can get from Amazon and how we’ll never live without one again. In general there seems to be a lot of energy around things related to simplifying poop clean up 😳

Back in the day when I was just 24yrs old and holidaying around Europe, whilst in Switzerland I became engrossed with the beauty of this gorgeous cemetery and even took a picture. How much I wanted to be buried there down the track. The following year I did actually die but was resuscitated and learnt that it really isn't too early to plan.
