Maybe it isn't about growing up, maybe it is about the ability to self-soothe and the tantrum is I don't want to soothe myself right now -- I want YOU to do it!!
Or something like that...
I've been thinking about mid-life, existential crisis theory and why it looks like such irresponsible behavior taking over. I think it is regression and an attempt to find new ways to self-soothe. To be a different kind of grown up.
