Season 4, Ep. 47: FAD #29 — Switching to an Adult Perspective

What happens when the child in the family grows up and wants to be viewed as an adult around the other adults in their lives?

After a month-long impromptu hiatus, Adult-ish is BACK, and on this episode, we’re diving head-first into a Fifi After Dark talking about… well, being an adult!

For this FAD, our slightly tipsy host speaks about her recent travels to older/elder relatives and talks to her experience of being seen (or not) as an adult… as an adult.

While some folks have an easier time of the transition from kid to adult in their families, the Brooklyn-based podcaster speaks to her time making the jump in a traditional, Caribbean family, where years of routine respect, obedience, and even language can dominate one’s perspective on another.

Take a listen and hear what’s she’s got to say!
