Why do adults wanna be kids again?

I just turned 18! I'm living life!
My dad and brothers said "Oh you just wait. The adult life won't be like you expect. Bills, mortgage, dealing with the government, adult issures, going to doctors more, dealing with marriage/relationships, kids, and time flies and you'll be 40 before you know it. Adulting isn't fun. The world is more brutal to adults than children. You had your childhood and you're not a kid anymore."
Great....now I'm having second thoughts. I'm going to college next month and my cousin said college is different from high school and you'll be on your own. I'm cool with that. Teachers won't be on me all the time. Can't wait to party!

It’s just nostalgia I think. I always think I’d like to go back 10 years and have no responsibilities but in reality i know I’d be so frustrated without so much independence.
They’re being silly if they genuinely want to be kids again, but prepare yourself for much more stress than you’re used to too 😆 it’ll creep up on you slowly but surely and it’s still creeping up on me
