DH’s family is from SW MO and they have kids young. His mom had her first at 18 and then one of his brothers married a woman when she was 18 and pregnant with his child and who’d also had her first child at 15. That same brother also got his HS girlfriend pregnant (as well as an affair partner later life). Good times in SW MO.

Curious, when visiting the kinfolk back in the Show Me state, have you/your DH ever been accused of having "too much education"? Do strangers/extended family ever mistake you for your child's grandparent? Finally, have you visited branson enough times that you've finally broken down and purchased customized novelty t-shirts for the whole family?

Where are most people on here from?

No it doesn’t. That’s a southern or Midwest or military thing to marry by age 25.

east coast and west coast is way different. More mobile and more out of state educations

That’s why OP is asking if the people posting on here are from other states originally. Which is likely since many people in DC are transplants, and also a lot of people post here from locations across the country.

NP. Your post is so full of judgement. I'm from Nebraska (similar place). Married at 27, kids at 31, very educated. People are way too nice to "accuse you" of anything. They are not a$$holes like wherever you grew up.

Born in upstate NY but moved a couple of times as a child. Since college and marriage I’ve lived on both coasts and in between.

I never got the impression that people in DCUM married and had kids young. At all.

Half the country doesn’t have a passport and half the country doesn’t move more than driving distance from their hometown. That’s their thing, so be it.

If they are watering down DCUM that’s another issue.
