ereks mom Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 This is a spin-off of the You're So Vain thread in which Remudamom & I (and possibly others -- I didn't read the entire thread) revealed that we were born in 1960 or before, and graduated high school in the 1970s. So I'm curious -- in which decade were YOU born? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheryl Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 One would be me born before 1960 in the late 50's! Married 30 years this Oct! Sheryl <>< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You remind me of a Swedish woman in my neighbourhood. Her youngest dd, a year older than me, was 2 years younger than her nephew. Her kids were all spread out, & her dd was in the hospital having her baby when either me or my sister was born. However, she may have had them in 3 decades not 4.

Denise in Florida Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 I ticked 50's but I was born in '59 so that might be misleading. :rolleyes: Graduated high school in '77, married since '78, graduated from college in '83, had my girls in '91 and '93.

It used to frustrate me when I was a dc to know a girl less than 2 months older than me getting to be a grade higher than me because she was born in Dec & the cutoff was Dec 31. I was so mature in elementary school. Perhaps there needs to be a new poll for those of us born in the 9 & 0 years ;). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeannie in NJ Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 my mother was pg with her oldest (me) at the exact same time that her mother (my grandmother) was pg with her youngest so I am 9 days older than my aunt.

Nope, born in July, but our school district had a summer cut off date and I was one of the youngest in my class. Since I was also tiny for my age and what would now be called a 'geek' it was not a good idea. Smaller, bored out of my mind, and not savvy enough to keep quiet about it, I'm lucky my classmates let me live. :lol: (This was not a childhood trauma, I grew up in a small town with nice friends.)

mom2att Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 When I was growing up I thought it was really neat to be born in 1969, since it made me sooooo much older than my friends born in 1970. Now my perspective has changed: six days later and I'd be a 1970 baby--surely I don't still have to claim the 60's, do I? I did say the 60's on the poll though--begrudgingly!

I'm '79, & I still don't think I'd be able to stomach the thought of being born in the 80s. They were so...80s. Kwim? ;) To a kid doing a quick look--like I guess we all do w/ our parents--I'd rather they say, oooh, the 70s instead of uuuurgh, the 80s. Although I guess it will all sound like ancient history to them. Huh.

JoyfulMama Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 I was born in the 70s, had a ton of fun in the 80s (I claim ignorance, as I was too young to understand then), earned three diplomas in the 90s, and started having kids in 2000.

hsmom3tn Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 I've always been the youngest in any group I've been in; but the older ladies never seemed "older" to me, just wiser. I was born in '77. Looking at this poll, though, and seeing that there are people here who were born in the 80's is making me feel old - not wise, just old. :001_huh: So, how much longer until I become one of the wise ones ???? :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always liked having an 0 year, because it made it easier to figure out how old I would be (oooh, that's going to happen in 1996... I'll be 16!), I think having a July birthday, though, is worse than an 0 birthday. I was the youngest person in my class and it's always too hot to do anything for my birthday.

elise1mds Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 I'm a young'un! I was born in 1982. We're a three generation family; my husband is Generation X, my son and I are both Generation Y (or whatever else they're calling it these days), and my daughter is a Millenial. I've always been one of the youngest people in my groups of friends or my class, since my birthday is in April, but it's never bugged me. When I was working as a journalist at the ripe old age of 18, my boss loved introducing me to the Cub Scout or Girl Scout groups that came through and telling them my age. The kids didn't care, but it always got a good reaction from the adults. :) Now I'm starting to meet moms who are younger than I am, and it throws me sometimes!
