We will all enter adulthood, but not all of us will act with the maturity that is expected of us. It’s why society shames, even condemns, “man-child” behavior. However, many women are also guilty of the same irritating trait.
This Reddit thread came alive recently after people described the worst “woman-child” conduct they have ever witnessed or experienced firsthand. Whether it’s feigned incompetence on simple tasks, maternal favoritism, or bride entitlement, these are characteristics anyone would want to steer clear of.
Scroll through and see which of these qualities you find most deplorable.

Whining.

Never compromising.
Entitlement.

Inability to control your finances without someone repeatedly bailing you out.

Weaponized (childlike) incompetence and victim mentality.
I had a best friend. We went on a trip together. When we woke up at the hotel, I made us some toast and hard boiled eggs for a quick breakfast. We sat down to eat, she looked at me and said “can you peel my egg? I don’t know how”.
We were 28.
That was when I’ve noticed she always does that with her romantic partners – this weird form of childlike incompetence to get them to do things for her while acting cute.
It was really strange too, because she had no problem planning long trips or putting together large projects. She was only helpless at the mundane daily tasks, like cooking, cleaning, or holding down a job later on when she locked in a dude. And she was ALWAYS the victim.
We are no longer friends. She got more and more exhausting as the years went by, and everyone ditched her, including her then-fiance. She still tells everyone we are big meanies who abandoned her.

Demanding friends recognize their “birthday week” (or worse, their “birthday month”) insisting on elaborate hang outs, gifts and attention the entire time. It always feels very childish to me.

Oh, my favorite is the cryptic one word FB posts for attention. It’s part of why I quit FB. Stuff like “Broken”, “Sadness” or “Done” with no context. Waiting for someone to reply “Omg! What’s wrong!?” And then they reply “I don’t want to talk about it.” Okay then, shut up! Please!

All the “I’m just a girl” nonsense. No, you’re a grown adult, so act like it. The weaponozed incompetence is not cute or endearing.

References to being a princess, queen or talking about their power. Powerful people do not talk about it. They do not lose their stuff, ever. When frustrated, they become focused and energized. Anger is dumb. Makes you stupid.
Focusing on appearance more than substance.

1. Excessive worry about what the folks thing.
2. Endless drama with bosses, coworkers, the bank, the credit card company, friends, and just about everyone else on the planet. Not that she is the common denominator in all those problems.
2a. By the way, complaining about drama all the time is a sure sign that person is all about drama.
3. Quick temper. This applies to guys, too.
4. The Princess Act. Any guy with brains would think it cute for about a week and then think, ‘Dear God, the rest of my life could be this way.’
5. Worry too much what other people think.
6. Constant selfies on social media.
7. Vaguebooking on social media.

No thoughts of her own. Just repeats stuff from social media, has a political view but can’t substantiate why.
Blames men for her mental gaslighting. In fact blames everyone but herself
She’s always right “I’m sorry if this offends but”
“This has to be said”
Dirty unkempt but ever so…”fun to be around “ apparently.

Whining to your parents immediately for anything that may go wrong. It drives me nuts. Like your 30 years old, you can’t figure out how to pay your water bill or why it’s so high so your first instinct is to call your mother instead of calling the company?
