I wanted my children when I was in my early 20's to get motherhood over and done with then work the rest of my life. It doesn't always work out like that though.
I was 55 - it felt too young to me, I was the first of all my friends to become a gran. Am now 60 and most of my friends of the same age still do not have GC (I love mine to bits of course).
I was 39 when the first one was born the last one was born 18mths ago I was 69. They are all a joy to me and have given me 3 Grt GC with 2 more due soon. Family
43 for me. I have GGC at 13 years of age. I wanted my children when I was in my early 20's to get motherhood over and done with then work the rest of my life. GC are all adults in their 30's and mid 20,the youngest.
The day before my 50th birthday! Best present I ever had and she and I are very close. We will not have anymore and our daughter is an only child, too! ?
I was 59 and felt too young and not at all ready. Love my GD to bits though and hope for more. My cousin was 39 - and while she and her daughter were quite young when they married, they weren't child brides!
49,I was 24 and a half when I had my daughter and she was exactly the sam eage when her son was born.He's 16 ,there are 3 wee girls from 12 to 8 and a new baby on the way.I've looked after them all from being very young until they started school.
My MIL was a granny at 43 he oldest GC is 41 now and her oldest GGC is 16.Her friend who is in her 80's too has only one GC and she is 11 ,she thinks MIL is so lucky to have grown up Gc
A friend has just become a grandmother for the first time at 74. I suppose this is becoming more common with women delaying motherhood but it seems late to me. Friend is delighted of course. When did you become a granny? I was 51.
