Perhaps! Yes, I was often asked, "Would you prefer the lounge tonight?" as a teen. I enjoy going to work, organizing and cleaning, reading the mail, making appointments. Also, buying furniture and landscaping gets more exciting as I age!

Hmm, that's an interesting theory. My parents were always the "treat your kid as an adult" type - it was rare I felt patronized, and they usually tried to include me in their daily happenings. Were your parents the same? I imagine they would have the most influence on your behaviour and perception of yourself.
