What age did you become a grandparent?

21+32 doesn't add up to 55 !

Time of year means I was 33 and DD 22

I was 59. Had my first child at 22 and last at 25, GC are offspring of youngest child.

42 when first DGC born and now have 5, first DGGC due in 10 days which will make me great granny (65) and my mum great great granny (94). Very strange but lucky to have my mum still.

I was 46, 23 when I had DD, she was 23 when she had DGS. I thought this was quite young really and aged me loads at the time.

I had two grandchildren at 60, another two at 62 and the last (so far) at 65. I never thought I would have any from my sons and I was a sort of surrogate grandma to my sister's two children. I still have one childless son but he has recently become involved with a much younger partner so who knows?

I am 64 yrs and don't know what age I will be, if I become one.

65

60

I was 60. DD was 36 before she had GS. Now he is eight and I wish I was ten years younger!

I was 48.

56 when youngest DD produced my first DC in rather unfortunate circumstances. But he is so special to me for that. Was at his birth, late Christmas Eve, and listened to Silent Night all the way home in the car. Still get weepy when I hear it, thinking of my abandoned girl nursing her new born baby son and looking at him with such love and fear in her eyes.

I was 44 when DGD was born but I am ashamed to say I made my own mum a grandma at only 38 !

We are a 5 generation family. My own grandma became a great, great grandma at 90.

I was 45 for my first and 61 for my most recent - I have two offspring yet to reproduce and one of them, my eldest son, reminds me that I have to stay as healthy as possible and not wear myself out before his children are born. He's looked forward to being a father since he was just a boy himself.

I was 51.

gilly These days some 38 year-olds are still to have their first baby!

It's lovely that you have 5-generation family - we are a mere 4.

56 for my first and 60 for the second. I was however a step grandmother at 38, not sure that counts though, and my sons became uncles aged 6 and 2, all part and parcel of the modern day family! I'm trying to work out what relationship Mick Jagger's new great grandchild is to her grandmother Jade's new child, an aunt I think, if that makes any sense

My first one was christened, age 6 months, on my 60th birthday, so I must have been 59 when he was born. My mind was full of other things at the time.

My mother had me very late and I had my chldren late, I had always thought, but when I take her birth year from my son's, it makes her 63 when she became a grandmother. My mother-in-law, however, was 8 years older: 71.

I was sixty and both grandchildren are now adults.

My mother was only 9 years younger than DH's grandmother

I was 57 when step gd was born, 60 when Dd had her 1st and will be 67 when latest step gs arrives in Sept1 All the girls in the family were over 30 when they produced and my step dd will be nearly 40 when hers is born (her 1st)!!I don't think I will ever be a great grandmother!!

Lovely post, Judthepud2

I was 51. My grandchildren range now from 19 to 3 and there won't be any more.

I was 65 (last year) when my grandson was born and I had also just about given up. I only have the one GC so far ... and he is not spoilt rotten by his adoring granny, no, not at all

I was 52 when my GD was born, then a year later a GS. When GS was nearly two another three grandchildren were born, two boys and a girl, all born within seventeen days. In three years and one day I was the GM of five GC.

Nearly four years later my youngest GD was born. They all get on really well, it's wonderful when they are all together.

43.
