Another s/o poll: How old is your mother?

[Kathleen in VA]

I'm 52. My mom died 16 years ago - she would have turned 77 in April.

[FrogMom5]

She's 70.

Denise

[peachskittles]

My mom turned 47 in April. My father will be 59 in October. I am 30 as of the end of June. They got married in Jan. of the year I was born.

[happypamama]

My mom is 56; I am 34. I'm the oldest of four, and she had me a few days before she turned 22. I had my first baby a few weeks before I turned 25.

[AndyJoy]

My mom is 57; I'll be 30 this year. We both married at 21 and had our first child a few months before turning 28!

[susancollins]

My mom is 55; I am 29.

[Julie Smith]

OH MY GOODNESS! I'm not 32, I'm 33! What in the WORLD?! I swear ever since I turned 30, I simply cannot keep track of my age! I used to laugh when I was a kid, and my dad had to ask my mom how old he was.

 

I hope I'm not the only one who does this... :001_huh: :tongue_smilie:

 

You aren't. At least since I have trouble remembering my age 32 (I think), my husband doesn't get offended when I forget his age. (40 turning 41 this week). And I just know my parents birthday since my Dad turned 60 two weeks ago. He would always make fun of the fact he married a older woman. My Mom is a few months older then my Dad.

[Lisa in the UP of MI]

My mom is 51. I'm 28.

[Evergreen State Sue]

My mom had me when she was 34 - one of the oldest mothers in my class. She died at age 58, but this September she would have been 87. Both of her parents died in their 50's too. I'm going to be 53 next month. I hope I can make it to my 60's at least. :crying:

[Mrs Mungo]

My mom is 58; I am 38.

[HappyCrazyMama]

This Nov/Dec my grandmother will turn eighty, my mother sixty, me forty, and my oldest twenty.:) I'm not anticipating an grandchildren next year.;)

[pdalley]

My grandma is 87, my Mom 64 and I'm 44. I was born the month after Mom turned twenty.

[swellmomma]

My mom is 52. I'm 34. If my grandma was still alive she would only be mid-70s. We all had our kids young.

[JumpedIntoTheDeepEndFirst]

If she were alive she would have been 84 in May. She and my father were married 14 years and had given up on children when I appeared(followed by my brother 2 years later). Our parents were usually older than our friends' parents but they really cherished having us. I still miss her though she died 18 years ago when I was pregnant with number 2.

 

My parents are a similar story. The funny part is that these days parents are so much older that my parents would have fit in rather than being 10 or more years older than the parents of my class mates. Funny how things change.

[LMD]

My mum is 62, I'm the oldest at 27. My dad is 66 (I think, or 67)... but I'm not his oldest.

[NicksMama-Zack's Mama Too]

I'm 44, mom is 73. And even tho' she just came for coffee this morning, I'm going to have to call her again today, because those of you who lost your moms so much earlier have made me very thankful that she is here.

 

Same here. I've been on and off the phone with my mom all morning. Reading these posts just make me all teary...

 

:grouphug: to all of those that have lost their moms.

[NanceXToo]

My mom had me when she was 35. She's 73, I'm 38. (Her mother lived to be almost 97.)

[TheCoffeeChick]

I'm 30, my mom just turned 49, and my grandma is 68. I guess we're a pretty young family :)

[dani3boys]

My mom will be 54 in October, and I will be 34 in November.

 

We are very similar! My mom turned 54 in May and I'll be 34 in December.

[kalanamak]

My mother would have been 94 next week. She died just short of 90, with all her f-a-c-u-l-t-i-e-s intact, a matter of much importance to her (and me). (Subtle JD Salinger reference.)

[jenL]

My grandmother is 84, my mom is 59, and I am 37.

[WiseOwlKnits]

I'm 33. My mom turned 71 this year.

[justamouse]

I'm going to be 40, my Mom recently turned 60.

[Tree House Academy]

My grandmother would have been 87, my mom is 61, and I will be 32 in a few days.

 

I didn't get pregnant at 19 on purpose (and now you know that story) - but in many ways, I am so glad i did. If I had waited, I am not sure my mom would have gotten to enjoy her grandkids. In today's standards, 30 is not "old" to have a child....but when i grew up, it was! I am even looking at the ages of most of your moms and women here who are 5 years older than me still have moms who are many years younger than my mom. It was just more common to have kids young back then, I guess.

[Renee in NC]

My mom is 51.

[HRAAB]

My mom, if she were living, would be 87. I'll be 51 next month.

[Tree House Academy]

my mom is 41 :001_smile:

 

How old are you? My HUSBAND is older than your mom and I am only 32! lol

[*********]

I'm 52. My mom died 16 years ago - she would have turned 77 in April.

 

Hey Kathleen, you're the same age as my mom!

 

:D

 

 

:leaving:

 

 

:lol:

[WIS0320]

She's 63. I am 33.

[higginszoo]

I'm 39 and my mom is 63.

[LaxMom]

My mum turned 63 today. I'm 40. My oldest is 22, my youngest are 6 (7 next month).

 

My parents are a similar story. The funny part is that these days parents are so much older that my parents would have fit in rather than being 10 or more years older than the parents of my class mates. Funny how things change.

That's funny. When my oldest was young, I was always the youngest parent in the room, by a decade. With the boys, I'm the oldest parent in their age group usually, also by a good decade. Funny how that works.

[reign]

My mom is 55, I am newly 31.

[HSMom2One]

My mom lives with our family and will be 81 years old in October. Although she has health problems and is on oxygen 24/7, she is still active in many ways. We are blessed by her assistance with cooking 1-2 times per week, her baking, jelly making, sewing and flower growing on the patio and other things.

 

In reading the poll results so far, I see that I'm old enough to be the mother of 125 of you dear homeschool moms! I love being part of this forum, connecting with women who are a variety of ages. We all have so much to give and to learn from each other in this diverse, multi-generational group!

 

Blessings,

Lucinda

[Amie]

Just curious, considering I've just realized that I am probably older than some of your mothers! :ohmy:

 

My mother is 67, born in 1943 (will be 68 later this year).

I'm 50, born in 1960 (will be 51 later this year).

 

Yes, I was born when she was only 16--four days before her 17th birthday. She got married at age 15!

 

Nope, my mom has you beat by a few months. :001_smile: She was born in April of 1960.

Right there with you. My mom turned 70 a couple of weeks ago and I turned 49. I'm the youngest of her 3 children :D My mom married at 15 and had her first daughter at 16 as well.

[Orthodox6]

Mom is 88; I am 56.

Cool! I think we've noted before that we have several things in common or at least very similar. (Unless I have you mixed up with someone else. If so, blame it on my age. :lol:)
