Nope, you didn't miss the Arcane Rites of Adulthood - they missed you.
Good thing too.
And for a small hint... recently, when eating with someone I call Dad, he said to me, "Your mother is a strong woman," to which I replied, "Yes, and she usually only shows it to you." His reply was a chuckle and a smile - a shy smile you may have seen on my face before, maybe recently, maybe 25 years ago.
I don't think as many people as you think are in the "grown-up" category.
