"Mom, Joe and I have decided to live together," my strong-willed 23-year-old daughter announced defiantly at our dining-room table, her boyfriend at her side.

I'd question the use of the word "defiantly" in this story. A 23 year old is an adult and has no need to defy his or her parents in anything. Sounds more like she was just informing her parents, knowing they wouldn't like it.

Later in the article, it is revealed that that same daughter had gotten pregnant at age 18. So there was also a 4-year-old (grand)child in the equation - yet this is totally elided in the story.
