Not everyone followed the same path of marry-young / kids-young / grandkids-on-a-schedule.
This thread is for:
Childfree by choice or circumstance
Late-life parenting
Step-parenting and blended families
Grandparenting as Gen X
Any family setup that doesn’t fit the stereotypical mold
Share your story, how people reacted, and how you feel about it now.
