I have a 35 year old son that does not live with me. When a survey asks if I have children, is he considered a child? ??? ??? ??? ???
-
Most specify that its referring to children under 18 and/or that live with you
-
My youngest is 26 I know it's confusing sometimes. I usually say no when asked like that. Like when they put it a different way like 18 or older I can say yes.

I think they mean under the age of eighteen who live with you , not adult children; at least that's my take.

I usually answer based upon how they ask the question. I have an 11 year old at home and a 26 year old out of the home. So I still qualify if they are limiting their focus on minor children living at home (which is usually what they are looking for).
But if they are asking how many children, I always say TWO unless they specify at home in the question. Usually they specify at home AND under the age of 18. In that case I say only ONE. But if they just generally say "children" I believe it is an honest answer to include adult children out of the house.
That's my take on it. Others may disagree...

Being my kids are over 21 , I used to get this question and when they lived with me, I would say they lived with me but since they don't now I don't worry about it.Sometimes You have to read the question carefully. it says do you have any children whether or not they live with you. :peace:

My son is 37 and does not live with us. When asked if I have children i always say yes. If they are more specific, Children under 18 or children that live with you I say no. But I do have a child so I answer yes.

I guess that is up you. I still live with my parents and I guess they still think that I am a kid sometimes. I know my grandparents did. :binkybaby:
