How old are you?

I`m 68, 5 grown up children and 7 grandchildren, but I was only 49 when I first became a grandma.

My mum became a gran at 50. She's now 82 and has fourteen grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. I provided the first grandchild and the last (an achievement I'm proud of) and my daughter provided the first greatGC.

Has anyone on here more than fourteen GCn, I wonder?

I'm 61. I have 3 grown-up children, and 3 grand-daughters (21, 20 and 11). Also a wee great-grandson. I was made a grandmother for the first time at 42. (I had my first child when I was 16 - !)

I was 38 when we our 1st Granddaughter arrived she is 17 now.

Joanna Lumley, Lulu just two of very many would be more appealing holding the banner on the logo for grans of today

I'm 58 my first chandchild was born when I was 45.

As with twinklepickers I do feel my age .. but the wizened faced painting is in the cupboard under the stairs

sorry about the typo grandchild not as above

I am 64, had my daughter when I was 20, and therefore could have been a Granny in my forties. However I was 58 when my first Grandchild was born, and though the knees creak and I sometimes have "grannyback", it is keeping me on my toes and determined to keep fit and healthy.

OMG,i'm old enough to be most of your mothers.Must try harder to keep up with you wippersnappers

My sentiments exactly, toothfairy. I was a young-ish granny nineteen years ago!

Had my first at 30, daughter had her first at 32 and now I'm 64.
Most of my friends are in same situation, having first g c in their 60s, and one is in her 70s. She's the liveliest of the lot of us, no stopping her and life's a riot when she's around

I'm 62, had my son at 31 and became a grandmother for the first time a few days before I turned 61. I too hate the logo - definitely something from Russia or China! I certainly don't feel old at 62 and get really annoyed when people talk about elderly people and mean people in their 60s.

I have been a granny for 23 years; was 57 when the first was born and three years ago became a great-granny. At 80 I am enjoying my new life after having moved to a flat from a four bedroomed house with attics and a cellar. I am still bsuy sizing-down. Now living near my children and grand -children I am can get more involved in their lives. The next event is to go to the theatre to see the annual dancing display which my three grand-daughters are thaking part in. I now live in a community of retired people; We have own lease-hold flats and are very independant but our ages range from the 50s to about 95. Yes, many of us do remember the war years but I agree that perhaps the logo should represent a more general picture of grandparents. But we are all different with a wide range of experiences and you cannot please all the people all the time.

I'm 62, I was a granny at 38 and a great granny at 59, which is great. Isn't the point to work on the stigma of being old rather than to pretend you're not?

I'm 51, or maybe 52... I keep forgetting, but was born in late 1959? That's how much age matters to me

I became a Mum at 27 and a Granny at 55. Most of my friends who are in their 60's are still not Grans so I consider myself lucky. I'm now 63 and in my head I am only about 45!!

It says it all when I can't remember whether I have answered this thread or not.

I am 61 had my first daughter when I was 23 and my eldest grandchild is now 12. I think I am missing something because the logo seems fine to me although some granddads may feel left out.

My eldest daughter was born the day before my 21st birthday and she had her first baby at 32.
I think the logo looks like it is from the war years and I think the mumsnet logo looks like Charlie's Angels. I would like to see the Gransnet logo of a virtual bus with grans hanging on as it flies through the air. Thats how I imagine it!

Join the gang of GN logo-likers, else! There are a few of us about.

In a couple of months I will have done my three score years and ten (shoot!). But I am going to re-take my sixties.

Good on you Jangly!

I'm 71 going on 23. I plan not to die before I'm 93 when I shall be shot by a jealous wife! Became a Nana at 51. Wish I had more G/children[only 2 girls aged 17 and 191/2] but my daughter won't oblige.
