Hate: having to be responsible all the time with money, time, things our house needs, etc. I remember thinking "how tough" life was in college. I would love to be able to go to class for a few hours, watch A Wedding Story, do a little work, eat lunch and dinner with friends and call it a day.
Love: doing what I want, having money to do things, being able to eat chips and salsa for dinner if I feel like it
Hate: I love owning our own home, but sometimes it seems overwhelming. When something goes wrong, we can't just tell someone else what the problem is- we actually have to fix it.
Another thing that is hard is watching family get older. Seeing my grandparents age so much, as well as my parents, and realizing they won't be here forever- that is really, really sad.
Love: I love being married! I love having "our" house and all of our routines. Getting to do our own firsts together, like first apartment, first pets together, first house, now trying for our first baby...it's all fun. Also, we are remodeling our kitchen- and getting to pick out exactly how I want it is very nice!!
I completely agree with watching my family get older. Most of the time, I sort of blindly believe they aren't really aging, but I see it in small things and it makes my heart hurt. I broke down about it the other day to DH. He isn't nearly as close with his parents as I am, but he did a good job of calming me down.

Ok, but really. I hate having to pour thousands of dollars into dumb things. Case in point: my box gutters on my house need repairs that cost roughly $4,500. I could take a kick-ass vacation for that amount! Also, my ac just broke. It's never ending. I want to spend money on fun things!
But I love that I have control. I get to make my own decisions and don't have to deal with my overbearing father anymore.
Hate: Not knowing how to do some things or who to call to get help on some things. I could give examples, but I won't. You're welcome.
Love: Choosing when dinner is and what it. Sleeping in on the weekends when I feel like it.
Your love reminded me of one of my least favourite things about adulting. meal planning. It's crazy that dinner happens every single night, and yet, I am usually unprepared.
Hate: Grocery shopping-I'm married to a woman but she hates it too. We joke that we need a third wife lol.
Love: Owning our house. I love it and even when I'm sweating mowing the grass or gardening bc we can't afford a yard service I love knowing it's ours to do whatever we want.

At first I thought this was something the kids were saying - is being Madrid to a woman like being Paris?
Then I realized maybe you just made a typo and are married, which makes a lot more sense.

I didn't read before hitting post and totally missed that typo! We do really want to go to Madrid though.

Amen to that.
I remember thinking "ugh, I need to go to bed early for an 8am class tomorrow". DUDE. I could have showed up in my pajamas and hungover. I NEVER went to class hungover. I could have done that. Why didn't I enjoy myself more?
Oh, probably couldn't afford that much booze back then. Grass is always greener, isn't it?
Hate: playgrounds don't come in adult sizes. Grocery shopping is boring. I feel guilty when I take a sick day (to be fair, this was true when I was growing up too).
Love: falling in love. Buying a house. Completing my education (sure did take me long enough). Getting to eat what ever I want, whenever I want.

Hate: Student Loans. I feel like we are never going to be able to pay them back.
Love: vacations! My parents were very frugal so our family vacations were usually to state parks (camping in our pop-up). We are so fortunate to be able to vacation a few times a year.
I really appreciate my parents now. Dinner just happened when I was a kid. Now I realize how freaking hard making a dinner can be every. single. night.

I remember my dresser drawers magically refilling with clean, folded clothes. Those were the days!

Love: Having a real job and making money and being free to do with it what I want (even though I'm cheap so that usually just means saving it...)
Hate: Being responsible for all of the cooking/cleaning/shopping/pet care/etc. Feeling stressed out when my house isn't clean enough (which is most of the time).
Remember when we were younger and we were only responsible for a few chores each week? All I had to do was clean my room, dry the dishes, and vacuum and dust once a week. Sigh. Now I'm responsible for every chore myself. And like others have mentioned, being an adult makes me truly appreciate my parents (especially my mom) and how much they did to take care of me and my sisters and take care of our home.
