At what age did your parents become grandparents?

[Tinks]

A girl I know has just become a grandmother at age 38. 38 is so young, it made me feel old! Until I realised my mother had me when she was very young and became a grandparent at 42 and there's a possibility I could be one at that age My grandparents were well into their 50's when they became grandparents.

At what age did your parents become grandparents?

My mum was 42 when DS was born.

My Grandmother became a Grandmother at 43, My mother at 45. And my grandmother became a great grandmother at 65.

My mother became a grandmother at 45.

[~Hestia~]

My mum was 48 when my nephew was born, but she was 57 when the next came along.

[Arcadia]

My mum was 49, her mum was 39, and then a great grandma at 67, and her father a great, great grandfather at 89.

My dad and Dh's parents were 55.

I have friends whose parents are still waiting for grandchildren in their late 60s!

38, wow I'm 37 and not a mother yet, but chances are, I may be soon

[Dansta]

dad was 60 mum 56.
FIL was just shy of 70 MIL 68 i think?

but both sets had kids later in life... i had Dj at 19 (but he wont have kids due to his disabilities) and Vic was 21 so who knows!

My mum became a Grandma at 38.

My MIL became a Grandma at 45.

[Calluna]

My mum was 48 when DS was born
Mil would have been about 55
Dad was about 49
FIL Im not sure.

They all complain they are too young to ve grandparents. Seems like a pretty normal age to me.

Mum was 48. Dad was 58.

Mum had me when she was 20 but i had my first child at 28.

[Jellyfish]

46 and 47 when I had DD1 at 21. My Grandparents had my Mum at 40 so weren't Grandparents till mid-60s.

MIL and FIL were both 54 (for our kids. 52 for their first grandkid)
Mum was 61
Dad was 66.

[Astrid]

My mum would have been around 55 with her first grandchild and then she carried on that she was too young to be a grandmother!
She was 69 when I had DD1.

[~TT40~]

my dh was a granddad at 38.

[feeb]

My mum was 58 and my dad was 63.

[TaRhLi.]

My mum was 50 when her first grandchild was born and dad 52.But they were 71 and 73 when DD was born, but there granchildrens ages range from 25 for the oldest to almost 2 1/2 with my boys.

That's because my older brother was born when my mum was 24 (almost 25) and my sister when she was 28. I didn't arrive until my mum was 36 and then I had my first when I was 36 - so based on DD following the same path I will be in my 70's before I become a grandmother.

MIL was 66 and FIL 67 (on the day) when DD was born. My kids are the only grandchildren they have and even though they are younger than my parents (who are now 75 & 77) they act some much older when it comes to participating with the kids where my mum and dad will happily look after all mine at once - which is no mean feat dealing with an almost 4yr old and two 2 1/2 yr olds.
