How does that work? I mean, why bother having the minor distinction if they'll just charge you as an adult anyway?

How bad can it be? You're only there for an hour.

I feel this way, too. However, I can't tell you the number of people I know who also claim to feel this way and then don't do shit when I reach out to them to show them I care. Calls? Unreturned. Plans? Always too busy. Reciprocal reaching out? Perish the thought! They don't want someone to care about them in a mutual relationship that takes sustained effort and growth, they want someone to care about them with absolutely no investment required. I.e. a parent.

This is extra interesting in light of the great millennial tradition of moving faaaaar away from your actual parents.
