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.

We have 3 out of 4 parents. We are 55 and 57.

No, both DP and me lost our parents in our mid/late 40s.

Both me and dh have both parents still living. Dh is 50 and his parents are early 70s. His dad had a heart attack quite a few years ago but was in hospital for something unrelated at the time so was able to be treated very, very quickly. They think if he'd been at home when it happened he'd probably have died, so we're "lucky" fil is still alive (it doesn't feel lucky, he has no contact with us despite babysitting at least once a week for his step grandchildren)
I'm 40, my dad is 72 and mum is 69. They've both got various health issues but are alive and active.

I'm hoping we've got quite a long time before we lose any of them. The covid 19 virus is starting to make me think we might lose one or more of them this year though, as they all have underlying health conditions that could make this virus more serious for them.

Lost my mum when I was 33 (she was 61).
DH’s mum is still alive but she’s under 60.
No idea whether our fathers are still alive, I presume so.

DH has one grandparent left (DH is now 40), I don’t have any.

I have my 75 year old mil. My father died 22 years ago and my mother 14 years ago. I'm 44.

Lost my dear Daddy in 2002 aged 86 and my mother in 2007 also aged 86. I am mid-60s.

Yes late 40s here parents are late 60s and early 70s haven't had any grandparents for 10 years now

Parents range from 93 to 78. DH and I are both 56

DP is 37 and has both parents, both in their early 80s. I am also 37 and Dad is still alive aged 68, Mum died aged 60 a few years ago ☹️

I'm 41 and have both parents, Dad 60 and Mum 70 , both with mixed health problems, Dad just recovering from cancer.
DH (38) has both parents still ...(we think as he has no contact)

I lost my DF when he was 54 and I was 26 and my DM aged 69 in a car accident. I was 44 when she died.
DH parents are 78 and 80 next weekend. They are narrow minded, tight and suck the joy out of everything. They also don't appreciate what they have. We see them every Xmas, Easter, public holiday etc as there's no-one else.
I'm very bitter.

DH and I are in our early forties. We have lost both his parents and my dad. My mum has advanced dementia. Miss them all so much.

I’m 55 and lucky to still have both my parents, mum is 85 and dad is 87.

I'm 53 both parents alive and mid 70's

🙁 I'm 33 I have no grandparents and my dad passed away 10 years ago at the age of 67

Only my mum who is 62 not old!

Ex still has both parents but only 1 grandparent

My father died when I was 47 and 10 years later my mother died.

DH is younger than me and both his parents are mid 70's both reasonably fit and well.

I'm 48 - parents are 74 & 73.

I'm 48 and DH is 47. All parents still alive. No grandparents left. PIL are 74/75 my parents are 67/69 and annoyingly I think they are both alive. Looking forward to their deaths.

I'm 61 and both my parents are alive. Apart from a cleaner two hours they have no other help. Both still drive. 84 and 85.

I'm 47, he's 48 and all parents are alive - 77 to 82. My dad is hanging on by his fingernails, MIL is terminally ill, and tbvh I wish my mum had died 10 years ago before her dementia got as bad as it is

We are mid-fifties and I have one stepfather still with us although my mum died in her mid-seventies. DH had lost both parents before he was 40, unfortunately, although 3 of his 4 grandparents survived at least one of their own children

I'm 50, DH is 49 and only MIL is alive (76).

I am 44 and dh is 46
Both sets of parents alive still though mine are older and poorly.
My dm is 81 , very frail and poor health, early dementia
My ddad is 79, dying from late stage dementia

Dh’s parents are younger and in rude health, his father is 70 and his mum is not even 70 yet

Yes all 4 parents.

I'm 47, dh is 46.
My parents are in their mid 60s and both healthy and well.
DH's parents are early 70s. His dad is very poorly right now but his mum is well and healthy.

We're mid 30s and have all our parents. Mine are early 60s and healthy, but my FIL is 80, my MIL 72, and neither in good health. I don't think they will see the end of this decade which is a horrible thought.
