Responsibility means privelage. They go hand in hand. If you could go back to being young again you would lose all the privelages you've gained thus far. It's a small trade off. You can have freedom from responsibility or freedom from control. You can't have both sadly.
I had to take care of my siblings when my parents were too busy for us. I've had to clean up after family with mental disorders.
At one time I had my own car and apartment that I paid for myself while going to school part-time. I wish I could go back to that. I wish I could have that kind of control over my life again.

Gosh, I can't remember a time when I wasn't responsible. Maybe I was a bit wild and free during the earliest throes of my first love but other than that I've spent my entire life doing what I was suppose to do. I think that's the curse of being the oldest child. We are naturally people pleasers and learned responsiblity at a young age.
That's my goal at the moment, learning to be more free and relaxed. Learning to follow my heart and not my mind. Trying to break free of the expectations placed on me by loved ones so that I can finally be my own person.

Do you get to pick what you eat? Do you get to say when you go to bed? Do you vote? Can you pretty much leave the house and go out whenever you want or need to? Do you have a curfew? Can you go to an R-movie? Can you quit your job? You can't quit grade school. You may not have as much money as you would like, but I bet you have more than the average 8 year old. You have constitutional rights, like rights to a speedy trial or against search and seizure. You more than likely deal everday with people who don't resolve disputes by wiping boogers on each other.
If this other adult is irresponsible, who is forcing you to support them? Your privelage here is if you pay the bills you are the one with final authority about said bills, whether you or they realize it.
I live entirely off the charity of my family right now. I pay for nothing. Do I feel free? Do I feel like a kid? I feel like a bum and loser. I feel worthless and miserable.
