How old were your parents when they became grandparents?

[JoeyBartonHanson]

Mine were 57 and 65

47&50, ick! I'm nearly 47, thankfully my girls are showing no desire to procreate.

Parents were mid 40s.

This thread has made me think, mine and dp's families pretty much always have had four generations. Our dc are late teens and dp has two grandparents living.

39&41

49
My mum had me at 27 and I had my dd age 22

My mum was 36 and had just had my baby sister 🙄 I was 16.
I became a granny around 41 when my some and his gf had their little boy .

Both 62. I remember my great grandparents on my dad's side but I cant see another time when they'll be more than 3 generations tbh

My mum was 61. I have half siblings so my dad was ... 55? (14 years between my parents). My brother is a grandparent too and he was pretty young for it! 35 I think? Young parent begot young parent. They both did fab jobs though, my niece is amazing, my grand-niece is amazing I'm so proud of them

Both sets were 57 and 55 but our DC are not their first born DGC.

57(dead) and 62

43 & 46

70 and 74
I feel old reading this thread, people here must be much younger than me!

Mum was 63 my dad would have be 79 (he passed away)

My mums indignant cries of “you can’t call me grandmother I’m far too young” was ignored by myself.

To balance out the young parents I was pregnant with DS at FIL's 80th birthday party. Admittedly DS was his last rather than his first grandchild but all grandparent in our family became grandparents in their 60s, that was true for my grandparents as well. Clearly old parents beget old parents!

My dad was 85 when I had my daughter :) 82 when I had my son. My brother got started before me! My mum was 71 when my daughter was born and 68 when my son was born.

60 and 62.

51 and 52

Mine were 42 + 46 when their 1st GC was born.

9th GC and 1st GGC were born within weeks of each other when they were 63 + 67yo.

Dsis had Dnephew, their first grandchild at 21, so my parents were 47 & 48 when they became grandparents.
DH and I have since added 2 more to the brood.

55 and 57. My husband brother became a great great granddad at 60.

My dad was 53, my mum had died aged 50 a year before. That was my brother’s first child. He became a grandfather at 56.

My dad was 61 when my first was born. I’m 68 and still waiting

Oops great granddad not great great .

69 and 70

68 + died 4 years before baby born.

DF was 79. DM was 69 - she died 9 months later.

My own PGF died aged 90, before DF got married. He would have been 95 if he had lived to see DBro being born!!

35 & 36
