Are those around me with kids are more grown up than me?

I don't know why but for some strange reason or another, I seem to feel as though other people around me who have kids are more ''grown up'' or ''adult'' than me because I don't have any and those people include my sister who has one, and my stepmum who has a son with 3 kids and a daughter with 2 kids and my stepmum's sisters have several grown up children who nearly all in a relationship with someone. When I've been around them as part of a family gathering, I sometimes feel like the only ''odd'' and ''socially awkward'' one there. I don't know why also but because my dad and stepmum live in Essex, I sometimes keep reminding myself of the UK reality TV show TOWIE (The Only Way is Essex) and when I've been around her family it sometimes seems like an episode out of that show and feel out of place and don't look like one of those guys from that show even though I can't stand it.
