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.

Mid 50s and one parent but not for much longer.

As per last thread both my parents died before I was 40. DP 40 and dad died 6 years ago mum still a ok in her 70s

I am 43 both my mum and biological father are alive they are 65 & 64 my first stepdad died 18 years ago at 63 and my second stepdad is still alive he is 66 but not in the best of health ,my partner has both his parents mum is 80 and dad is 78 mum is pretty healthy but dad not so much

I'm 32 and DH is 30. Both our dads have passed away from cancer both fault young too my dad was 54 and his was 58

I'm 48.
My Dad is 79 & good health - thinks he's in his 40s & complains when he aches after pruning trees by hand (no need for a petrol saw!).
Mum is 77. Diagnosed with Alzheimer's at 73 but had started showing signs just after 70th birthday. In very good physical health.
Her brother, my uncle, had massive heart surgery in his 60s & was told it would keep him alive til his 70s. He's just turned 90... In good health & mentally still very sharp.

I'm 39, DH 46. All parents still living. His 76 and 81, mine 66 and 72. I have a grandparent still living too at 93.

Dh and I are both 49

My parents are 75 and 72 in great health.

Dhs are 74 and 73. Mum is in reasonable health, but his dad has early onset Alzheimer's and can no longer live independently.

My final grandparent (dad's mum) died 3 years ago at the age of 96. Dh's grandma was 90 when she died. I hope we have them around for a good while yet!

I'm 55 and have both parents fit & well in their mid-80s.

I'm 59; DH is 57.
My dad died aged 72 in 2001, ill for a year - AML I was 41.
FIL died 2008 (dropped dead on holiday) aged 79, DH was 47.
Both born 1929 - no right way to go.
Mother and MIL are both 83 and indomitable.

Neither DH nor I knew our paternal grandparents but were v close to our maternal gps.

They died at: 88, 85, 89, 91 - one a year :). Very briefly the DC had 4 great grandparents.

Yes, both of us have both of our parents and we're in our early 40s. My step-dad died 4 years ago and my dad is very frail now despite not even being 70 yet and my mum is very unfit as a heavy lifelong smoker and never really having exercised at all but they're both hanging on at the moment.

Dh's dad is 75 and quite frail but his mum, at 70, is still strong, fit and active.

I'm 54, Dad is 85 and very fit, mother was 82 and very fit. End January she was hospitalized and died 2 weeks later, previously undiagnosed cancer which resulted in fatal pulmonary blood clot. We were all shocked, cancer kills one in two people these days

DH and I both mid 30s. Lost our dads 4 years apart. Sad as LO will only know her grandmothers.

We are 37 and 43 and have both sets still alive thank god. Both sets are in good health and will hopefully be around for a long time yet.

DH lost both parents when he was in his late teens. He lost all four of his grandparents by the time he was 8, too. I do worry about his... longevity?!

My parents are alive and in their 50s. I have 2 grandparents alive in their early 80s.

28 with both parents in their 50s and 3 grandparents aged in their 80s. Very lucky.

I'm 46 and my dad died when I was 33. Mum is still alive at 82. I'd lost 3 out of 4 aunts and uncles before my father's death and all my grandparents had died well before I was born. Longevity doesn't run in my family sadly.

I'm 38, DH is 40, all our parents are still alive. I still have a grandparent, but DH does not.

My mum died early. She was only 57. It's not exactly a benefit, but the fact all our parents were dead made it easier for us to move abroad. They all died relatively young and quickly, which I think is a good thing having seen the suffering some go through.

We lost 3 of the 4 in a 2.5 year period, we were about 50, my Dad was 84, FIL 82 and my Mother was 91.

I have my Dad who is in his 70s and my DH's mum who is in her early 80s. I don't have my Mum and he doesn't have his Dad

I lost my parents at 13 and 27. DH lost his at 29 and 33.

My husband and I are 37. Both his parents are mid 70s and alive and well. My mum, dad and step mum and mid 60s and dad and step mum very fit but my mum's health is poor. My 74 year old step dad died 2 years ago.

We are nearly 54 and have four. My
Agents are 88 and 83 and DHs are spring chickens at 72 and 73.

I'm 53. DH 50. I lost dad when I was 21 suicide. Lost mum in 2011 she was 84.

DH lost his dad when he was 9 cancer. His mum is 84 and still going strong.

DH and I are mid 30s. I have just my mum (74, dad passed away at 75) and DH has both his parents (66 and 65).
