I had way more freedom as a child because I had less responsibilities.

I work longer hours than I spent at school. I don’t get to goof around and have fun with friends during that time. I come home exhausted and have to do more work to maintain my existence. And I have to constantly worry about money. I don’t get to stay up to 2am playing StarCraft or Diablo every night, and if I even think about it my body will hate me.

Shit was easy and fun. The only benefit of adulthood is I allegedly have more money for stuff, but I can’t buy it because I need to be responsible.
