Peter Pan Syndrome (co-written by my sister who has been happily married for 15 years yet still has the ability to diagnose this crippling disorder)

So many of the men from our generation suffer from this syndrome. I’m not sure why. I know for some, it’s because they were over mommied when they were kids as in they could never do any wrong in their mother’s eyes. For others it is because they grew up extremely privileged and never had to be responsible. For some it’s a combination of both.For all the women my age, we are all familiar with this term. He’s a Peter Pan, the boy who never wants to grow up. I wonder, do they have any idea we call them that? What are the symptoms of Peter Pan Syndrome? Individuals with Peter Pan Syndrome have a prevalent and persistent urge to never grow up. Individuals who suffer from Peter Pan Syndrome can be identified by extreme commitment phobia, fear of responsibility, over indulgence in the night life, obsession with toys (ex., always has to have the news video game system or newest techie stuff), need to compete with children for their partner’s attention, inability to pay bills on time, may have ability to make goals but have no ambition to follow through with them, inability to handle uncomfortable situations, lack of accountability for any negative actions and persistent whining about how hard their life is. Green tights and tunic are optional. If your man or a man you know has 3 or more of these symptoms, you can be assured he has Peter Pan Syndrome. However many of those who needlessly suffer will refuse treatment. In that case, the best treatment is to get the hell away from them before they suck you in. Do not indulge them, do not try to change them, and above all, do not try to help them. They will only resent you, tell you, you ruined their life, and ultimately accuse you of being a ‘crazy bitch’ or controlling. Fortunately there is a cure for Peter Pan syndrome, it’s called GROW THE FUCK UP!!! If they refuse treatment run!
