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.

My eldest child is 42, so is his twin who is 7 minutes younger grin. I look at both sons and can't believe they have grey hair and receding hairlines!

Some families get in three generations to our two! Or so it sometimes seems.

I was in full time education until I was 24, so no early children.

Children 37, 35 and 30. Grandchildren 6, 4, and minus about 3 weeks. Every birthday makes me feel old but every birth fills me with joy.

I was 20 when I had my first child and she will be 48 tomorrow. Yes a 1st April baby and that couldn't have been more appropriate! My DS is 45. My DGC are 14, 13, 11 & 10.

Missingmoominmama Wed 31-Mar-21 21:22:14

My eldest son is 33. The other two are 22 and 30. I have no grandchildren, although the children of an ex colleague, who I see often, call me Grandma. I adore them, so I really don’t mind at all!

NotAGran55 Wed 31-Mar-21 21:16:49

I think I’m winning having the youngest eldest DS 26 ? Although I’m not a gran so does it count ?

Fernhillnana Wed 31-Mar-21 21:08:39

I remember my mum saying how shocked she was to have a child who was 70. That was my sister, mum had her when she was 19 and mum lived to age 92. I suppose as we live longer, we can have elderly children!

Harris27 Wed 31-Mar-21 20:52:46

My eldest is 43 and youngest 34 and I’m only 21!

sodapop Wed 31-Mar-21 20:50:28

Fennel grin I know how you feel.

mrshat Wed 31-Mar-21 20:45:49

My DDs will be 48 and 44 this year and my grandchildren will be 12, 10 and 6.

Fennel Wed 31-Mar-21 20:45:22

My eldest will be 59 in Oct this year. Next 58 in Nov. youngest 55 in Nov.
I'm getting used to them treating me as their daughter.

Hellogirl1 Wed 31-Mar-21 20:32:49

My eldest is 57, next one 56, then 54, 51 and 49. I feel ANCIENT!

knspol Wed 31-Mar-21 20:08:34
