Help remember this old dos game!

A long time ago I played an old Dos game, it was a simulation type game where you started off as a child and made lots of decisions up until adulthood, you got a job and then eventually you have your own kids if you choose to, etc. there wasn’t really any gfx mostly text, but it was really unique.

I cant think of the name of it for the life of me…

sounds familiar to anyone?
