According to Urban Dictionary the term “Adulting” is a verb that means to do grown-up things and hold responsibilities such as having a 9 to 5 job, paying rent, making car payments, or anything else that makes one think of grown-ups.
The term has started a new #Adulting trend on Twitter, with tweeps sharing their #adulting stories.
Feeling is mutual, my daughter acting up in my own house. Employed but contributes nothing, instead I must deal with her moods especially when she wants to control me in MY house. Stress fela shame. The little ones ba betere stru?

It’s the first time in all my 34 years of being a mother that I’ve walked into the house after being gone for hours to find one of my children was hungry enough to cook dinner. It’s Mac & Cheese but, yay. Maturity level unlocked!!!#adulting pic.twitter.com/B1vGyGSxhy

Adult friendships are hard. Life & kids happen, dark days happen. So thankful to the people in my life that I don’t have to text back right away, call often, or see regularly for them to know & feel that I love them just as much as I ever have. #adulting #friendship #lifehappens pic.twitter.com/ptRIltJwGp
