    I have three that all graduated from the same university. One is a Interior Designer working for a home building contractor. Another is a teacher and the third is a IT specialist working for the county.
    All three have children and their own homes. I am quite proud of them.

    Only one adult so far. She is working as an instructor at the Omaha zoo, works as a teacher's aide in winter, and is a lifeguard and swimming instructor. Her sister has joined the Marines and will go to boot camp next month. All our others are still children.

    No grandkids, and don't expect any. My daughter was a nanny for 15 years or so and I think she is childrened-out. She's gone back to college and finishing a degree in disability studies or possibly urban studies with emphasis on disability environments. My daughter in law basically raised her 5 younger siblings through a traumatic childhood, and she is very career focused right now. I think she and my son lost their biological clocks in one of their cross country moves.

    I was wondering when someone was going to bring up "children" as well as "grandkids".

    But, for us, none of either.

    None of my grandkids are adults yet. A couple are in high school, though.
