What a bizzarre view of life. I had a good "full" childhood, a fabulous young adulthood and I'm very happy with who I am and where I am today. I have no wish to relive my childhood, and I don't find adult responsibilities so onerous.
Hey, better than doing it yourself.
Oh, my... why in such a bad mood this morning?
That's nice. I didn't go to Disney more than that as a kid, maybe 3 times. My parents brought us to other places, like Hawaii.
To me, kids growing up too fast is used in two ways. One is being exposed to pain and suffering and stress too young--such as a child who loses their mother and has to take on the role because if she doesn't, nobody else will. The combination of the emotional trauma and the responsibility, without the benefit of such a crucial relationship. Or it is used by parents who enjoy being needed and are not prepared to find their own identity when the kids are self-sufficient.
It is not, IMO, applicable to children who have the capacity to be self-sufficient in some ways but who do not have to be and have the emotional support, financial support and even physical support of parents behind them as a safety net.
