Mine have no biological grandkids and one step granddaughter.

I know somebody the same age as my mum (early 60s) with 22 grandkids from her 5 children and 5 great-grandkids!

12, I'm one of 6, 5 of whom have children. Eldest is 24, youngest is 4.

Mincepieeyes22 · 28/01/2023 09:06

My Mum had none up to the age of 73 then 5 came along in quick succession between my sister and I!

Between me and my siblings our parents now have 7 grandchildren. One just recently born ❤️ they are in their late 50s and early 60s.

My parents 2
in laws 2

it’s great as DD gets loads of attention & has a great relationship with them.

my parents are unlikely to have any more. In laws could potentially have 2/3 more

ShortColdandGrey · 28/01/2023 09:09

My parents have 4 grandchildren, and my in-laws have 10.

GhostPillow · 28/01/2023 09:10

My mum has four, my dad has three and my step mum has none (biologically speaking)

tinselvestsparklepants · 28/01/2023 09:16

None. My sister and I failed them!

  1. My husband's parents have 1 - our daughter. And she's likely to be the only.
TheFormidableMrsC · 28/01/2023 09:21

My Dad has 3, two from me, one from my late brother. My Mum died before the younger two were born sadly. My Stepmum has five. It's a bit weird for me as she's only 8 years older than me and my youngest is only 11! My eldest is in her mid twenties and is clear on not having children so I don't think I'll be a Nanna for a good while yet (I'm 53).

MadameSzyszkoBohusz · 28/01/2023 09:22

I'm an only child, so my DM just has my two. PIL have 4.

IWanderedLonely · 28/01/2023 09:22

11 grandchildren, 19 great-grandchildren so far.

IamEarthymama · 28/01/2023 09:22

My dear departed mother had 2 grandchildren, both mine as I am an only child.

I have 6 grandchildren, 5 boys and 1 girl.
I love them so much, being a grandmother is one of the best experiences of my life.

My dad has 12 but I have 3 sisters and a brother so that’s why! All the kids are the best of friends which is lovely

This is like my family too ❤️
