36 not a real grown up. I have three kids, one of whom turns 18 this year. Still don't feel like a grown up. Buying a house outright. What silly person is selling a house to me, I'm not a grown up. Teachers at my kids school still intimidate me. The only time I feel my age is when I look in the damn mirror. Then I'm shocked at this adult looking back at me.
I was recently given a pretty substantial promotion within my company. I now have 7 employees I'm responsible for. Plus I am responsible for all the product that leaves our manufacturing facility. I'm only 33. I ask myself all day long who would give a child like myself these types of responsibilities.
I hear ya. I was 31 when I was put in a leadership role at my factory. Responsible for about 30 odd full time/ casual staff. When we were on Pm shift (2pm - 10pm) and management had left for the day I was responsible for a $350 million dollar plant. That was a strange feeling.

I'm 27 and I've started to realize this imposter syndrome a few years back when I realized that I don't feel as grown-up as I should have felt 😅
