Are you still a defiant stubborn child in certain points in your life?

I am a mature adult. My husband on the other hand is the stubborn child! I will do 4 loads of laundry and I will even fold 90% of them too. Then I set the piles of our clothes on the bed and tell him to put them away and he just puts them on the floor next to the bed or on top of the dresser. It aggervates the crap out of me. I just do see how he can be so lazy. At least he does the dishes.... I guess I cant complain there. But when it comes to laundry or just down right cleaning it's like pulling teeth. When I finall get him to help around the house, which is maybe 3 times a month he goes all out and gets in this cleaning mode and wont stop until everything is spik and span! It's strange. I can be stubborn at times too, but not when it comes to the house being clean. I have 3 children under 5, I cant afford for it to be dirty or messy.

I guess that I am a mature adult. I do like this a certain way and I can't stand my husband whom is like you. I am so sick of him stacking laundry on top of my dresser. I get pi**ed and start throwing them back down the laundry shute because they are just up there collecting dust! They will be there the next time he does laundry just less freakin dusty. I have a policy if socks come out of the dryer with no mate and after a week still no mate it goes in the trash, but he HAS to continue to stack them on MY dresser! UGH! Oh yeah this is about me huh not him?! How oh how has your husband not killed you or left you in the last 17 years??? LOL I have been doing this for all of 9 months and it makes me CRAZY! Good luck cleaning up your room and organizing things!

I'm a defiant stubborn child as well. Everything I do is on my terms. I have learned this lesson the hard way. I hate when people dictate to me what I should do, especially when I already know that I should do it. Eventually, I will do whatever that is but as you, it will be on my terms.

I have always taken suggestions if they are reasonable but I do admit I can be childishly stubborn. Fortunately, I'm single after 20 years and don't have to consider anyone else which suits me just fine. Are you comfortable with your room the way it is? If so, don't bother cleaning it. But if it bothers you and you're not cleaning it just because someone asked you to, you'd better get busy and make your room a lovely place to be--clean or not!

I am a very stubborn person. I like to be defiant in my own way and on some things I will not do it unless I want to. I am good about cleaning, and I thank my fiance for that. He's made me appreciate a clean room. As for all that I am stubborn in, I am a stubborn fighter. Have a Great day.

lol,yes,I am. Sometimes I just don't wanna do what they tell me to do,I think maybe I need a change. It is really not good,especially I heart somebody.

my husband always told me on times when he thinks that im still acting like a spoiled brat on him..im stubborn in a way when if i decided to do some things or even go out on my own without his knowledge ..i usually do this when im not in the mood or whatever..

Well that depends on mood. When I feel like I'm going to be a couch potato for the whole day and not just even clean my room then I guess, I am a defiant stubborn child. However, most of the time I'm trying to become a mature adult. I realize that I'm not getting any younger so I really have to set goals for my future and set aside being a stubborn child.

I can be a bit of both. Most of the time I am an adult but sometimes the stubborn child leaps out of me kicking and screaming. My husband is usually the defiant child, but it seems like if one of us starts acting like the child the other will step in as the adult.

Yeah I don't like being told what to do when it comes to certain things like that and actually he does not need to tell me anything and I just do it when I feel like it. It usually happens I find when I have my monthly cycle thing. You see I get domestic during that time for some reason and also moody but get most of the cleaning done before he even comes home. I don't really like doing it while he is around because he annoys me anyway. It is funny though, I am sometimes like that though and don't want to do things because he wants me to do them. I guess every girl wants to hold onto some kind of freedom even though she may be married.

It made me laugh reading this, because you could have been describing me to a tee! I am so terrible, my inner child just sits there defiantly waiting for someone to tell me or ask me to do something. I am definately a defiant stubborn child, and I am pretty sure that I will never change. In fact, I would even go so far as to say that I am getting worse as I get older, I am getting more defiant and more determined to do things MY way.

dizzblnd I am also a definat stubborn child at senior citizen age. lol. with me its newspapers . I am a widow but I share my apartment with my adult son. He mildly suggested I fold and put as many papers as I could get in the grocery cart andhe will take them to the dumpster for me. see I am housebound with a nasty case of shingles right now. and the papers have got out of hand in my bedroom as I had kept putting off taking them out before I came down with the shingles. lol.

I must admit I am both... I remember the time that my apartment manager was a bit nutty and started telling people that the only plants they could have on their porches were flowering plants... I was a bit ticked as I had Ivy and also had other plants that were pretty but were not blooming yet or would never bloom. I called the property management company to see what the rules were and was told that I could keep my plants... I then went out and purchased two more ivy plants and hung them outside. I think I left a message too that they were there... I did not like to be told what to do when it was an unfair or stupid regulation. I had lived at the apartment complex already for four or five years and had these plants that long. I did not like the fact that she was telling me to remove it. The purchasing of more plants was indeed an action of rebellion which makes me chuckle a bit now. It was rather overdone.

I am as stubborn as a mule and I am not going to change at this stage of the game. I'm 57 and I rarely ever clean the bedroom up and when my wife says she is going to do it I try to find other things for her to do until the thought goes out of her head :) It may be messy, but I know where things are in that mess LOL

I think we all have some stubborn behavior. I don't know if it is always child like. But I like my towels folded a certain way. Doesn't always happen. Things like that.

Interesting question...lol I think I'm a defiant stubborn mature adult. HA! I say that because I have always been the type of person to say "Don't tell me I can't do something because I will do it just to prove you wrong." But as I have "matured" I have limited the things that I apply that mantra to. For example, when I was younger if someone said "You can't drink more shots of tequila than I can" I would do it just to prove them wrong. And then end up passed out at some strange guys kitchen table drooling on myself. As I've matured I now wouldn't engage in such a thing but still have the same attitude when I am told I can't do something. Just last Saturday I was told I could not hike 19 miles. That I wasn't in good enough shape to do it without killing over and dying of a heart attack. I left my house at 4:30 in the morning got to the Rachel Carson trail at 6:30 and staggered my weary bones off of it at 4 in the afternoon after completing the worst 19 miles of the 34 mile trail. So that is how I came up with my title of being a defiant stubborn mature adult
