Why adults or teenagers who have younger brothers or sisters seem to be childsih?

Question

I have this friend, who's boyfriend is really really childish, like he all the time joking around. He is 18, but if you see how he acts, he acts like a child of 10-11 years old. My friend who's super smart and pretty really didn't want to date that guy, but because he so insisted date her, she gave up and now dates him. That's really really weird.

Answer 1

Just because they have childish siblings, doesn't make them childish. I have 2 younger brothers and I am quite mature. Maybe he just watched Barney for too long in his life.

Answer 2

Generally people with younger brothers and sisters are around them alot, i am a teenager with a younger sister, about 6, and i often act childish, it is simply from being around them, you become attached and used to them, you just have to control your behaviours around children, friends, parents/adults, others. These all require different attitudes and behaviours.

Answer 3

It is your friends choice. Be there to support her.

Answer 4

they act childish becuase since they have younger siblings...  i dont know but.. he probably is around his syunger siblins alot so, he acts like them

Answer 5

I think because chances are that as children they didn't have much of a childhood as they grew up, it could be their way of making up for loss time. Hope this helps.
