Hi. I was just wondering if there are any ‘older’ mums on here? I’m 53 and have a 7 year old daughter along with a 30 and 32 year old. I am also the proud grandmother of an adorable little boy aged 9 months.

Its such a strange feeling to be a grandmother and mother to a young child. I was just wondering if there was anyone out there in a similar situation?

I think there are many women having babies in their mid forties, we have grown daughters who waited until their late thirties to have babies, the only fly in the ointment is that we were in our late sixties when they needed help with the little ones and are in our mid seventies now with small children who are like little dynamos. Is tough when grandparents are too old to be as helpful as they’d like to be though on the plus side we were retired and so could perhaps be more flexible with her time.
