Family

At 74, Laurence Gerowitz and his wife upsized to a larger condo in New York City. The grandkids love the space and his son's visits are less of a chore.

My mother-in-law lives across the country, so we take road trips every year to visit her and spend a few months living with her in her house.

I'm moving back to my hometown after 15 years with my family to be closer to my parents. We'll see how it goes for 2026.

My dad died last year, and it still makes no sense to me. I've picked up his painting hobby, and it's created a tiny tether to feel connected to him.

My boomer parents always encouraged me to talk about my feelings. I'm parenting after their example.

I wanted my kids to experience a 90s-style childhood, and our new landline showed me how independence can grow with the simplest tools.

When I asked my kids what their favorite part of the holiday season had been, I was surprised at their answer.

My father chose to spend his money on showing us the world, which he thought was a better investment than anything he could purchase.

As nurses with packed schedules, my wife and I like to shop at Trader Joe's for ingredients to make easy meals during the week, like gyros and orzo.

In my culture, children are expected to greet everyone at a family gathering with a hug and a kiss, but my daughter hated it. My family found it rude.

To make holiday shopping for family less stressful, Alison Brie says she and Dave Franco try to "divide and conquer."

At Thanksgiving, startup founders face the task of trying to explain what they do to friends and family — and proving that they're not unemployed.

My family lives about 1,000 miles from my in-laws and we rarely see them in person. My kids FaceTime their grandparents regularly to stay close.

My wife and I moved from Savannah, Georgia, to Chicago to be closer to family. I wasn't sure about the decision but it was the right thing for us.

More young people are getting cancer and need fertility preservation. But coverage is mandated in fewer than half of US states. For some, it means never starting families.

My husband and I were empty nesters until our son and his family moved in. Multigenerational living is hard, but it made us closer to our grandkids.

My aunt moved in with my family after my uncle died. It wasn't just a comfort to her; she helped my young family in countless ways.

My family prioritizes our weekly dinners at Grandma's house. We get quality time with my parents and delicious food.

My husband and I come from different backgrounds. I felt like his family didn't understand me until they took a trip to my home country in Europe.

My family lives far from my kids' grandparents, but we make sure to keep in touch. We've also built a support network where we live.
