- How do we measure parents well-being? my daughter and her husband, have 3 little ones, 3, 2, and 6 months. our son-in-law has shut down since the youngest was born and won’t communicate with us. Our daughter does but I feel she is carrying a heavy load. My husband is not yet welcome to visit them and hasn’t met the youngest. this is a long-distance family. the youngest child is 6 months.
- How do you help grandparents at a distance understand LGBTQIA+ issues in their grandkids? What resources do you recommend about non-binary and trans grandkids? And then when there is dementia and grandparents can't remember pronouns? Teenagers for LGBTQIA+ question
- Would like to know what impact the spike in housing costs has had on families. Have young parents and their kids been forced to FLEE high costs markets or made the decision to return to hometown to be closer to grandparents? For years, the housing community has been talked about Generation Priced Out — have new intergenerational households reversed that trend during the pandemic?
