I'm a parent-and both my boys live at home-but....both are over 18. So, when the survey give you only these choices-what should I choose....

first screen: are you a parent? and there's no choice for over 18-so I click "not a parent/refused". then 2nd screen "are you a parent"-and of course I click "yes"-then 3rd screen lists the ages of child-but again, there's no choice for 18 or over....then the survey either kicks out or "does not qualify".

What is the right choice in the "no box for 18 and over" category?

Any thoughts?

TIA

Maybe someone else will have more specific advice, but I wouldn't worry about the red pop up that happens too fast to read. I get that every time I'm in the survey you're talking about. I think it's just part of the survey.

As for what to answer...I've always answered "Not a parent" for the first screener (true) and I don't remember ever getting more questions about being a parent. I usually don't qualify for these surveys anyway, and sometimes I'm booted after the first screener too. If they don't have an option for children over 18 it's likely they only want survey takers with dependent children anyway.
