33. That's a lot of kids right now
Mon May 26, 2025, 06:42 PM
May 2025

My granddaughter - late 20’s-works part time & she says she’s the only one working in her friend’s group. After having her own place for yrs, she moved back in with my daughter.

My bestie girlfriend’s sister is a doctor - she has 2 intelligent kids who are late 20’s. They live at home and don’t work.
