My eldest turns 50 this year. Oh my. Where did all those years go? Sure makes me feel ancient. My eldest grandchild is 27, youngest is 2. I have this theory that you can’t pin down and measure time. It definitely goes faster the older you get.

Eldest Dd is 43, the other two are 40 and 36.
Two DGSs , the elder is 18 and the other 5. New DGC due end of April.

DS is 54 next month and DD was 50 this year. She is the mother of my only grandchild and was 36 when he was born. Where does the time go indeed!

My daughter is 42 and son 40. Grandchildren 14,11,7 and 6.

This thread made me think of my Gran’s friend many years ago. She was 81 and her 99 year old mother was still alive.

My baby is 46 her son is 7, her sister is 48 with her dd turning 5 today. Wish they’d had their children 15 years ago when I would have had more energy for them!!

44 and 41. DGC are 11, 8, 4 &18 months. They tell me there won't be any more DGC so we are making the most of them while they are young, especially the little ones, who live nearby.

Although I married quire young, I was 28 when my eldest child was born,. All my daughters were well on their ways in their professions before having children.

My eldest child will be 52 this year, the young (twins_ will be 46 - had my youngest son still been alive he would now be 44 years. My eldest g.child will be 21 in a couple of months time, and my youngest is just coming up to her 9th birthday.

I have friends of my age with several great g.children. Not sure if I will ever live to see any of these, which does not worry me one little bit. Would like to live long enough to see my elder g.children graduate.

My eldest is 53 this year and my eldest grandchild is 30. Like everyone else I find it hard to believe all those years have gone. I'm glad my daughter and I had our children when we were young, don't think I could help with young grandchildren now.

Gingster Wed 31-Mar-21 09:02:42

My eldest son is 47, youngest son 45 and DD 42, GC range from 5 to 18.
