What a poignant article. I suppose I'm a Gen-Xer, but I really can't stand labels. Her article represents one demographic of this generation, but doesn't represent all of us. I would never have thought that "When did your parents get divorced?" as the defining question of my peers. I don't know of any families in my old neighborhood that the parents divorced.

Of the glimpse I get of the author's family life, it sounds to me as though she focused too much on the nest and the children to the detriment of the family foundation: the marriage.
