JenC3 Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Thinking about Remundamon post about Gparent age and it is somethng I've worried about occasionaly. So how old was your Mother when she had you and how old were you with your first child? Mom-22 Me-30 Dh mom-19 Dh-34 Both were early 50's even though dh and I are 4 yrs apart and our Mothers had us at different ages. I hope dd is married at 25 and pg, but she wants to be a Dr. or scientist... I will be 58 when ds is 25 and when dd2 is 25 I'll be 60 and when dd3 is 25, 65. So in reality most of my grandchildren will arrive in my late 50's early 60's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sassenach Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Mom had me at 21, I had dd at 17. The upside to teenage pregnancy is lots of time with grand kids! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night Elf Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 My mom was 19 when she had her first child and 25 when she had me, her second. I was 24 when I had my first child. My mom became a grandmother at age 42 (my sister was 23) and I remember her being horrified because she wasn't old enough. Good grief. DH's mom had him when she was 19. My DH was 40 when our first child together was born. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heather in Neverland Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 I had my first at 27 and we got our 3rd when I was 40. So there is quite a spread between my kids. I will hopefully get a lot of time with my grand kids from my oldest but I am not so sure about my youngest since she will turn 18 when I am 58! But nothing in life is certain, right?

bobbeym Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 My mom - 18 for me, 28 for db1 and 29 for db2 (My dad is 8 mo. younger than mom.) Me - 20 for ds1, 24 for ds2 DH - 24 for ds1, 28 for ds2 When I turn 40 this summer, my oldest will be 19.5 and engaged (or married) to a 19yo, and my youngest will be 15. My parents will be 58, my brothers 31 and 30, with the younger having a 6 yo ds. We knew we didn't want a big age gap between our kids, and I knew I wanted to be done having kids before I was 25. I look forward to being a young Nana like my mom was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carriede Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Mom for eldest - 23 Mom for me - 30 Mom for youngest - 42 Me for DS (the first grandchild) - 24 So my mom was 54 when her first grandchild was born, even though she "could have" had one through my brother 7 years prior, if he was at the same stage in life, putting her at 47.

Um_2_4 Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 My mom was 35 (told she wouldn't have kids, surprise!). I was 28 with my 1st (after 7 years of trying, I tried to start young LOL). DH's mom was 21 (he's the oldest) and DH was 38 with our 1st (yes, he married a youngun' ;) ). So If DS marries after college and grandbabies appear right away, I will be early 50s???

Heatherwith4 Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 My Mom was 24. I was 22. My DH is 9 years older than me, and he doesn't want more kids because he's doing the math and realizing that he will be in his mid 50s when DD3 graduates high school. I'm not sure why that's such a problem, but he doesn't want to be pushing 60 with a teenager. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nd293 Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Mom - 27 (I am oldest of two) Me - 29 (dd was born a week before my 29th birthday - ds when I was 35) Dh's Mom - 38-ish Dh - 36 for dd, 42 for ds My Mom was definitely a more enthusiastic grandparent with dd than she has been with ds, but that said, she is still young enough to be actively involved if she wants to be. My uncle visited us recently - he is 71, and was a great temporary grandfather to ds. I'd be happy if dd had her first child in the second half of her 20s as my Mom and I did.

Mom: 27, 29 Me: 27, 31 When I was a teen I met a family in which 4 generations of women had given birth to their first child at 17 (all married). When I met them they were 72, 55, 38, and 21 (with a 4-year-old). It was so odd to meet this great-great-grandmother who was only 72! I always wondered if that little girl followed the family pattern. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
