I think 30 is a good benchmark for being taken seriously as an adult, assuming that you have not lived an extended adolescence (as you say, "experience requires experiences"). And it is, in fact, roughly the age when all of us, from 30 to 90, start treating one another more or less as peers. On the other hand, I got married when I was 26, and had a child when I was 27, and there is a big difference between being married for a few years, and making it to nearly 20 (actually more, if you count all the time we lived together). There is a big difference between being a father of a toddler and seeing it through to 17 and beyond. I think I am more experience rich, and have, of course, had more opportunity to reflect on things, because of the extra years (I am 44).........
