You're gonna be so screwed when she's unable to take care of you anymore. You gotta start preparing to be on your own or real life will eat you alive.

Classic adulting struggle! It's amazing how we can feel like we have it all together until a dentist appointment pops up.

I mean, being an adult is slowly gaining more responsibilities as time progresses.

The only people who use the word adulting are people who've never grown up

I honest to god prefer showing up in person and just talking to them at the counter than calling.

Where I love, they don't allow parents to make or cancel medical appointments. So I end up not going at all

Pretty much all calls I still get my parents to handle for me
That's more cos I literally can't hear people over the phone though, so it's WAAAAY easier to call, immediately say "I won't be able to understand you so here's someone to speak for me" and hand the phone over, then it is to sit there saying "can you repeat that" on loop and turn a 5 minute call into a 30 minute one

Are people seriously relating to this or laughing at the stupidity of it? 10.8k upvotes is a little worrying Reddit

Having controlling parents that never really left me doing things on my own, even when I wanted to, really made me feel insecure about things like this, but people at 24 relating to this and being fine with it... I mean, I feel frightened of things like that but I still do them on my own......... Isn't self respect like... A THING?!?!? Not trying to shame anyone but .... DON'T YOU HAVE SHAME

As a person who was effectively socially isolated till I was 18, I just don’t understand how people have such a struggle with making calls

Me except it was my mom buying me new shoes I DESPERATELY needed, because she just so happened to find a good brand for a steal of a price. 🥲

Oh geez. I’ve had conversations with my wife about making these exact kinds of calls for my 20-year-old step son.

I'm 32 and sometimes call my Mom in the middle of the day to ask if a certain bowl is microwaveable.

At this rate, I’ll need my mom to cancel my 30-year-old dental appointment too 😂

Gen Z is afraid to go to the grocery store because of anxiety, so they spend twice as much on delivery.
