My mum would have been 59 and my dad was 60. My MIL was in her 60s.
If my children have kids at the same age I had them then I'll be late 60s or in my 70s when I become a grandparent.

My mum told us very early on that she had to be at least 50 to have grandkids. My brother announced their pregnancy on her 50th birthday haha. Dad was 52.
My MIL was 55 and FIL 58 when they became grandparents
My mum was 43 i think when no.1 grandchild was born
Dad was 59 and Mum was 57 when my nephew was born.
55?..
Mine were 44 when their first grandchild was born, 46 for the next, and 51 for the one about to be born.
Mum would have been 42 or 43 when my niece was born
Wow lots of young grandparents! My mum was 60 and dad was 63 - mum had me when she was 27 which was old back then and I was 34 when I had my first. My mum at 67 though leaves most women 20 years younger than her in her wake as she has so much energy.
Mum 39 and Dad 40 - My mum had my sister at 20 and she had her first bub at 19......argh! I'm older than my parents where when they had their first grandchild!
My dad was 39
Mum was 36
Stepdad was 54
Stepmum was 37
DP's mum was 46
I was starting to feel like the only one! :lol:
My parents were both 36, MIL was also 36 & FIL 37.
My paternal grandma, who's now passed, was 60 when she became a great grandmother. My paternal pop was 71, is now 82. My maternal grandma was 68 or 69... she's 80 now. Never knew my maternal grandfather.
If they keep going the way they are they might be around to meet the first great-great grandchild!
My Mum was 60. Dad turned 57 on the day his grand daughter was born.
My parents had me when Mum was 36, which was really late back then!
My best friend is about to become a Nana at 42....any day now and I will also be known as Nanna as well, so exciting!!!
My Mum was 58, MIL around 68, FIL slightly older. I was younger than all of them having my first. My Grandma was 80 when she became a great-Grandma.
My cousin became a grandmother at 35 after her daughter (a teen pregnancy) also had a teen pregnancy.
I just realised 38/39 isn't that young. Our Lulu was 39 when she became a grandmother.
Parenting age is very different now. I was considered young at 21. Which I don't think I was. I look at Lulu's DD and I don't see her as a "teen mother". My grandmother was 20 with her first. My MIL was 21.
I think it's uncommon now, but I don't think it's overly bizarre.
But being a young grandparent doesn't automatically mean pregnant at 16 IMO.
My dad was 45, my mum was 44.
My parents were both 57 when they became grandparents.
My Mum was 48 (although she had me fairly young, my DD1 was her first grandchild). My Aunty was a grandmother in her early 30s!
My dad would have been 48 when my first nephew was born and my mum (if she were alive) would have been 47.
My IL's were approx 56 and 65 when our dd1 was born (dh is an only child)
Mum was 37 and Dad was 38. I was a young Mum but they were very young parents so its their own fault they were in turn young Grandparents :-)
Mum - 42
Dad - 44

My grandparents became great grandparents 64, 66, 66 & 70
My mum was 46, dad was 47.

Until last year we had 6 generations alive. My great grandma passed away late last year.
My great grandma (103), my grandma (80), my aunty (mums sister, 60), my cousin (42), her daughter (24), and her son (2).
My mum was 46 when I had DS (first grandchild). My grandmother was 39 when Mum had my brother.
My mum & her sister were born two years apart. They had their first child the same year (1971). My mum became a grandma at 56. Two years later, my aunt became a great-grandma at 60. She was a grandma at 41.
they're young grandparents only at 42.. my brother married at 16 :)
