Is your adult child in a singular, long term, secure relationship? (29)
I have a 39 yr old daughter who celebrated her tenth wedding anniversary just last year 
They work hard at their marriage, keeping the romance alive wherever possible lol, whilst raising my just-turned-9 grandson to be a good, decent, world-aware and appreciative man.
My son, at 35, has had many difficulties in life so far and is yet to find a woman who understands and appreciates his gentle, artistic, insightful and deep-thinking ways .. besides his mother I mean

My cousin's kids are great young adults and they are all in happy relationships.
The oldest girl is 25, married for 2 years and going out with her husband since she is 15.
Her sister is about 20 and going out with her boyfriend for around 3 years.
The 2 kids of my other cousin - the eldest son is about 23 and going out with his girlfriend since they are 17, his younger brother (my godschild) is 20 and also going out with his girlfriend since he is 17.
They are all healthy, happy, kind and fairly successful kids in all aspects of their lives.
I was going out with my first boyfriend for 6.5 years and remember this as a happy time.

Your family sound great and very well adjusted. It's no wonder you look so happy.

How I envy you seeing your grandchild every day.
allthegood....
My lot are a bit like that. Daughter married for the second time about 4yrs ago and my son and his wife struggling with an autistic child.
They struggle, the lot of them and it's not at all plain sailing.

i have mixed emotions about airing my laundry in a public forum...
maybe its because i feel accountable to some extent for my children's lives...
separated/divorced from the age of 2 and 3...they come from a broken home
i was always there for them during they're formative years...but no
one daughter is following in her mothers footsteps...drugs n booze (tho has a degree)
the other has been married divorced and just split up with her douchebag boyfriend who always seems to leave when the rent is due...
guess my emotions aren't mixed anymore

I agree with your first comment and I almost wished I hadn't put this one up but I thought the poll results alone may have been interesting but that has been a flop.
Your whole story is more like the stories I hear about daily and you've done so well for your children.
I'm wondering if it may be easier for those who are born with a silver spoon in their mouths although I do know some great, large families who are pretty poor financially but ecstatically happy with so much love around them.

guess i decided to reply because i wonder how much influence my failed marriage has on my daughters relationship/s...
my parents divorced after over 20 plus years of marriage...my grandparents(on fathers side) were divorced as well...
never knew my grandfather on my dads side...
talk about the snowball effect...
is there anything more important than family???

I'm sure it has no affect really and is more to do with who happens to be where we are at any given time. I think the genes have a bit to do with it but not things rubbing off on us. My son and daughter have been on totally different journeys so far.guess i decided to reply because i wonder how much influence my failed marriage has on my daughters relationship/s...

Family are a feeling of belonging or longing and they will always be deeply important which ever way we play it.

RainComeShine: It would be nice to hear from individuals who are under 45 too whether they have children or not. Just vote for yourself as it's doubtful your mum and dad are talking on CS.
Your profile says you are 60+. Why do you concentrate on younger people. A genuine cougar

No, although my parents got divorced when I was very young which profoundly affected my brother and I, as in, we're both very analytical and fussy about women and relationships. We both have this perfectionist streak born from the fear of getting divorced. The worry for us that we'll never marry because she'll never be good enough to take what we acknowledge as a massive risk with potentially devastating consequences for men(and not women).
My sisters, however, seem to have gone the other way. They're probably less discerning and more naive because of our parents divorce, they're more prone to bad boys than most. Our worry for them is that they will get married and let god knows what into the family. The lesson they've learned from divorce is that they don't have to live with the consequences of their actions and as such they behave like nobheads.

When my parents separated I was relieved. It was a living hell but then we were homeless etc etc. When I say marriage I don't necessarily mean that piece of paper but a fully committed relationship, having children maybe, the works and totally what both partners want.
Your sisters just haven't come across the right men yet. They will knuckle down when/if they do.
Nothing in life is perfect and no one person can make or hope to make it so. Living is exploring and doing what gives you pleasure and it shouldn't make you feel as though you're on the stage.
Once you take away the whole wedding idea you may relax more then it may happen in time if/when you're both willing. Or it may not!

And how she hid her lunchbox I made for her this morning in the garage, that I swore blind I'd put by the front door when her mother was having a go at me for having a senior moment.

My daughter is almost 35 and will be celebrating her 16th wedding anniversary tomorrow. They have known each for 18 years and are a lovely family unit.
