5 kids here. All adult (at least they think so) but only one married and she just had my only grandchild so far, at 34.
I am very fortunate because my wife watches her during the week and I have worked from home since Corona was no longer just a good beer.
My aim is not to rile, my aim is that we don't get hung up on labels, initials, names or whatever. Get hung up on those around you. There is never a wrong time to do the right thing. And make sure those you care about know you do. My parental units pretty much sucked. But I was able to learn what not to do. So the rest had to be a bit better. Love your family, and that includes those not related to you but battle with you every day, at work, school, with health issues, whatever. Everything else is just noise.
