Do you and DH/DP still have both parents? How old are you?

[annabell22]

Inspired by the equally morbid thread about grandparents, it made me think about parents. Both DH and I have both parents living. I am almost 52 and DH will be 56 in a few months. All parents are in their mid to late 70s. We fear that at some point we will have a terrible year when we lose them all.

I'm early 40s. My Dad is almost 80. His health is mixed. Mum died 3 years ago after illness. My in-laws are 68 and 70 and in good health.

Both about to turn 30 with all parents still here, parents are in their 50s.

Husband and I are early thirties. We have all parents. I imagine we will lose fil some time though as he has lung issues and is mid 70's. Step dad also is just 70 and not in great health

I’m 36 and have both my parents who are 62. DH is deceased but his mother is still living aged 72. His dad died at 63.

Im 27 so not relevant, but my DM and DF are 57 and 55, both have both parents (83, 83, 83, 88).

DP has both of his parents now approaching 70
Ddad died last year at 76, DM still going strong at 72.
DP is late 30s and I'm 40

Dh and I are late 30s. All parents still alive and aged between 65 and 70.

Hubby and I are both 48. We have no parents left, awful sad.

Both 43/44 with both sets of parents still with us and generally in good health. Both mothers 70/67 very young at heart and in outlook.

I'm nearly as 50 and DH is 55, all our parents still here. Mine are late 70's and his are early 80's although his mum is not in good health. And my lovely nan is 98 and still going strong ! Bless her!

56 with both parents (who are 85 and 86)
DH is 57 with no parents left

I’m 44 and both parents dead, my husband has both his parents. I haven’t had grandparents since I was 12.

I’m not holding out much hope for longevity for myself!

DH is 55, both his parents are deceased. His mum died when he was 18, and his dad died about 3 years ago.

I'm 49, and my Dad is 80, and fairly well although with a few ongoing medical conditions. My Mum is 72, and still works part time. I do appreciate them both (even though my stepdad can be a bit difficult at times and very territorial over Mum).

We both do. I’m 33, he’s 35

I’m 37. I lost my wonderful Dad in 2018. He was only 62.
I’ve been NC with mum for 10 years but I believe she is still alive.

DH is 42. Both his parents are still alive.

My son is 41, I'm 61, my father is dead. My mother will be 88 this year. My father died in 2007.
My husband's father died when he, his father was 47, his mother died 3years ago, she was 92.

I don’t, I’m 29 and have neither. Fiancé has both, he’s 34.

So unknown. My dh (37) lost his Dad when he was 20 his mum is still well (72) however never knew his grandparents. Both my parents (66/67) and my granny (87) are still alive and I’m 33...

Me 35 and yes to both parents. DH is 36 and both parents have died. His mum is 2010 and dad in 2018.

I'm 50, my Dad is 87 in a few weeks and my Mom is 84. Both are in good humour and good health, fingers crossed as my Mom had a brush with skin cancer last year. She's never been a sunbather but is a very keen gardener and is of a generation which didn't use sun cream.

My husband lost his Dad many years ago and his mother is 70, she's actually in good health but is a bit of a hypochondriac.

I’m 40, DH 42, he has both of his parents still - in mid 70s, I don’t.

My birth parents died very young - my mother when I was born and father when I was 12. The people who raised me as my parents - dad died when I was 21 and mum when I was 32.

Only one of my friends has lost a parent, it’s hard not to feel envious at times when people talk about their dad helping them with DIY or their mum taking the kids or whatever. But we’re lucky with my in laws. I don’t think my DH realises how lucky he is sometimes. It’s my mum (the one who raised me) I miss the most - actually had to hide in the bedroom for a little cry today because in laws were here telling us what we should do with the decorating in our house, not what DH and I had agreed and not what I want bit then DH seemed to be agreeing with them and I just had a really childish moment of ‘I want my mum! At least she’d be on my side’. Pathetic I know and all sorted now.

DH and I are early 40s. All 4 parents alive, DH's are in 60s, my mum is 70s and my dad is 80s. Currently all in good health. DC are both primary age. Although it's inevitable, I will really miss calling my mum for a chat.

I lost my grandparents in my 20s and DH lost his in his 30s.

No lost both parents over the last eight years ☹️

I’m 51

DH and I both in our 30's.

DH lost his dad almost 3yrs ago after a short battle with a very aggressive cancer (3 weeks from diagnosis to him passing away).
Both of my parents still alive, well and active.

DH's grandma is going to be 104 in a couple of months so he comes from good genes!
