maybe Peter Pan had the right idea
because I had to grow up tomorrow go wah
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top ten
reasons being an adult sucks being an
adult is terrible for this list we’ll be
looking at the reasons why most adults
would probably kill to go back to their
childhood days children are full of
hopes and dreams for the future and
teenagers often try to grow up too fast
but unfortunately adulthood isn’t all
parties and paychecks oh honey you need
a serious and bracing reality check if
you think my life is perfect
number 10 if you don’t do it no one else
will maybe you should spend a little
time I don’t know washing a dish ever
living with your parents for your whole
life really sets you up for
disappointment
once you move out on your own until you
get your own place you don’t realize how
fast your house gets dirty and unless
you can afford to hire a maid guess
who’s doing the cleaning and the cooking
and the laundry and if you can’t cook
well you better get used to eating box
mac and cheese and peanut butter
sandwiches for dinner basically all
those things you took for granted
growing up are now your responsibility
and when you have kids not only do you
have to do everything for yourself but
now you’re in charge of someone else’s
life – number nine you start to dread
birthdays do something fun it’s a bit
40s huge I’m turning 38 okay as a kid
you were so excited for your birthday
you felt like with every year added to
your age the more responsibilities and
respect you had from your peers but once
you hit your 20s you start to wish for
less responsibilities as a kid you want
a birthday party with all your friends
with balloons and presents and cake as
an adult you can have all the cake and
balloons you want but your friends are
too busy to come or if they can make it
you get presents like oven mitts and
socks and you don’t want to eat the cake
anyway because it goes straight to your
hips
[Music]
number eight you lose touch with what
school kids may make fun of their
parents for being out of touch with what
school but they often forget that one
day that will be them no one cares about
any of your stupid dinosaur bans you
have the worst lamest taste in music
ever there is no avoiding it someday we
all become those confused adults
scratching our heads at the things our
kids like and the music they listen to
and don’t get us started on trends from
POG to Pokemon what entertains one
generation baffles the next that’s right
anything we like is instantly not cool
and then there’s technology even the
simplest of innovations has the power to
amaze and intimidate she just remember
no matter how trendy you were when you
were young when you become an adult your
destiny is literally to be uncool not
like a regular mom I’m a cool mom right
Regina please stop talking number seven
your physical appearance deteriorates
the one thing that’s inevitable for
every single one of us is that when we
reach a certain age our body starts to
turn on us it’s called xxx what happened
in my hair
[Music]
whether it’s illness or just the
unfortunate side effects of aging we all
eventually get slower weaker and grow
more tired our skin gets wrinkled our
hair turns gray things start to sag and
hangovers hurt more than they used to
but by the time we were 30 the next day
would go like this which is another big
part of why adults begin to dread their
birthdays
one day you’re trying your hardest to
look older and not get ID’d the next
year dyeing your hair and dying to get
ID’d at Rogaine it’s just like we’ve all
been you might be able to hide your
aging but things like hypertension
arthritis and other illnesses that often
come with age can’t be so easily ignored
by the time I’m 40 and these are gonna
go National Geographic on me number six
your metabolism slows down nowadays the
arathi are missing pepero she dresses
very well along with other signs of
aging a big part of growing up is
watching what you eat as a kid you could
constantly eat chocolate candy soda and
all sorts of junk food without really
thinking about what you’re putting in
your body but as an adult your
metabolism generally slows down and you
find that you can’t eat the way you used
to at least not without consequences you
cannot eat fast food because it will go
down your throat and drop instantly to
my eyes even when your diet consists of
salads and Metamucil you still have to
work out regularly to keep the weight
off well we wouldn’t give to eat a bag
of chips without thinking twice about it
number five relationship pressures
what’s worse than being thirty not being
married and not having kids everyone you
know constantly reminding you that
you’re 30 not married and don’t have
kids loved ones start questioning why
you’re still single and when you’re
planning on settling down to start a
family as if the sound of your
biological clock ticking isn’t enough to
keep you up at night the pressure to
satisfy those around you almost becomes
too much I’m just not ready okay no
pressure and if you think dating as an
adult is hard try making friends when
most of the time you’re either working
or sleeping you want to find a balance
between work friends family and time for
yourself but
sometimes it seems like an impossible
goal to reach it’s not just that I can’t
have kids I don’t want kids
number four work work is a big part of
our adult lives and a job isn’t just
something you do to have money you work
because if you don’t you’d still be
living with your parents we get some
meatloaf you need money for rent bills
food transportation and other
necessities and when you have kids you
work because you need to afford food
clothes toys and school for them but
what if you hate your job well you just
have to grin and bear it because you
can’t afford to quit and let’s face it
unless you’re really lucky most people
don’t love their jobs well no but
according to this you were two minutes
late so either you’re a liar or this
system is off by a full minute number
three
filing taxes none of them want to pay
taxes again ever forget about science
history and geography in schools yes
those are important too but what they
should really be teaching young people
is how taxes work sir I could do most
this myself I love doing this really
yeah
filing tax returns yeah it’s fair to say
that most teenagers enter adulthood
without a clue about how to file their
taxes and when you do find out what
taxes are all about you wish you’d never
known in the first place because the one
thing everyone does know about them is
that they suck you get so excited when
you get that paycheck you open it up and
then you feel like you’ve been robbed
you’ve got 17.5 for ten in t-bills
amortized over the fiscal year it’s a
hard truth to accept but taxes are just
a necessary though annoying part of life
this up that look like a cap shake
number two no summer vacation
the best part about school was always
the three months of freedom yes
summer vacation is what students
everywhere look forward to
almost immediately after the school year
begins when you stop going to school and
enter the workforce you realize there’s
no more summer vacation well unless
you’re a teacher but at least you get a
few weeks paid vacation to travel
somewhere where it’s always summer
similarly you look forward to the idea
of no more homework but instead you find
yourself spending that time cooking
cleaning looking after the kids or
something other than what you’d really
like to be doing before we unveil our
number one pick here are some honorable
mentions for fourteen years of in a
whore for the advertising industry the
only way I could set myself now is if I
start firebomb is this what you want
food are you to fix small dudes I can’t
kill right now cuz I’ll get fired my
boss will hear me then I won’t be able
to pay off my student loans you know
what your asshole
number one rent and bills after you
grown at the amount of your salary
that’s lost to taxes you get excited
again at the prospect of spending the
rest of the money you’ve earned but then
you remember you need to pay the bills
first not only do you need to pay your
landlord in exchange for you know
letting you live in your apartment or
the bank if you’re lucky enough to have
a mortgage there are bills for literally
everything electricity water TV internet
phone and you have to pay them every
month that’s not even counting what you
shell out for food and transportation
all that money you make well don’t get
too attached to it I know five million a
year sounds like a lot of money but I
have to pay 10% to my agent 5% to my
lawyer a child to point out any idea
what assurance costs in the Ferrari do

most about being a kid for more
entertaining top 10s published every day
