How old is your oldest child?

Mine are 35, 34, 33 and 32.
Grandchild no 5 all set to join us in July.

My eldest son is 35 and youngest 33. Three grandchildren 3yrs, 20mths, 6 mths. There was a time when I so wanted to go back to their childhood and do it all over again!

to those of you who have lost children.

My DC range in age from 47 to 25. My GC are aged between 11 and three.

My mum is still very much alive and kicking and she has eleven GGC.

My only daughter is 65 and my only GD is 24. Must be top if the tree!!

My oldest will be thirty in June, my second will be twenty-eight at the end of April and my youngest will be twenty-five tomorrow. It seems unbelievable; I am sure l was twenty-five only two years ago!

I have a son who is 45, daughter nearly 43 and my baby son is 37 on Easter day.

DS 45, DD 40,
GS 18, 17, 13, 5. GD 8
(step GS 23, 22, 16, 14 GD 18)

49 and 47

I beat all of you. My eldest daughter is 64 and the youngest is 61. The GC are 34, 31, 30, 26 and 24 the GGC are 8 and 5.

My children are 40, 37, 35. Grandson is 2 and half.
We’re been married 43 years. Both only children, we imagined we’d have lots of grandchildren. To extend our very small family.
But unless circumstances change dramatically, I think our gs, will be our one and only.
Funny how life turns out.

So sorry to read the posts from Grans who have lost children.
Worrying about Grandchildren having children early is only because you know it's not the best way of doing things everything comes out in the wash. Every child planned or unplanned becomes a special person in the family we are grateful for.

*annsixty*, I think the generation, who like the Queen, can have man, or even any GGC, is going to be short lived. The current flush of great grand children is the product of early marriages and family formation in the 1960s and 70s, and increased longevity. But now the average age for a first child is over 30.and many of us are not becoming grandparents until our late 60s and 70s.

Assuming this does not change, I will probably have to live into my late 90s, if not reach 100, before I become a great grandmother.

Scarily i am dreading bucking the trend. My kids are 32, 30 and 24 GCs 2 age 11 and 5 and 3.
My biggest fear is the 11 year old cousins who always both do the opposite of what they are told end up having a baby as young as me or their respective parents (one of the mothers was 16). If that were to happen i would become a freat grandparent age 54. Oh no my bigger fear is they behave like the Dingles on Emmerdale or the Royal Family of old and have a baby with each other.
This is a genuine concern for me.

Blossoming sorry to hear that.!!
My eldest 48
Youngest 45

I am now definitely claiming the top position! My eldest son was 62 last January, and my other children are aged 60 and 57.
So henetha, sorry to knock you off "top spot" !!!

Elder DD is 43. Younger turns 35 in June.

7 DGC. The eldest will be 25 in May, the youngest had her 1st birthday last week.

Like the song says - who knows where the time goes?

Oldest 41yrs gc range from 4to 12yrs.

Eldest is 60 today! Can’t believe it. I remember that Good Friday 1961 so well. I’m so proud of him.

I also married first time at 21 and had my first child at 22 ... she is now 54, next would be 52 but he died at 34 and my younger son from second marriage is 45. Yes, how time flies. Grandchildren now range between 26 and 10.

Our eldest will be 42 this year, where have all those years gone, and so quickly!

My eldest would have been 50 this year. Sadly died before her 48th birthday two years ago this month.

He would have been 55.

Oldest (DD) is 33, youngest (DD) will be 30 in October. Oldest DGD is 13, and the youngest DGD is 5

My eldest is 47 , my middle one is 46 and my youngest 45 . I have 2 granddaughters of 15 , 2 grandsons of 14 and another granddaughter of 9 . I’m 67

DS is 42, DD is 38. Remember the days they were born as if it were yesterday. Happy times with late DH.
Two DGDs, 13 and 10.
