How old were your parents when they had you?

[MyMintCrab]

31 and 38 mine

24 and 25 - so young.

1960s 34 & 35. Ancient for those days.
DH's were 18 & 20, so a completely different generation.

Mum 43 dad 49. They were the oldest in the playground, couldn’t cope with a teenager and by the time I was 20 I had the oldest parents among my friends, I was their “rainbow baby” apparently and there is an age gap of 16 and 14 years between me and my siblings, we were never close.

I had our children in my was in my 20s I’m glad I did. DH and I made the decision if there was no children by the time we were 35 we weren’t having any due to both of us having older parents.

F23

Both mid 30s, adoptive parents. Bio mum was unmarried Catholic girl. I was relieved to learn she was early 20s and not some vulnerable teen.

Mum 28 Dad 34

Mum 40, dad 41
Born 1959, youngest of 5, 4 surviving

8 years between me and next oldest.

Both 22

20 and 21. I've got two older and two younger siblings too. All born before dm turned 25.

Both 45.

I always did and still wish they’d been younger and I’m 53 now.

When my eldest sibling was born my father was 32 and my mother was 31.

When my youngest sibling was born they were 40 and 39.

There are four of us and we were all born in the 1960s.

They were both 19. And they had my sister at 35.

24 & 23.

I said 35 was my cut off too for the same reason.

We ended up not having any, no regrets.

22 & 23 1971

Mum 26 dad 36 which was ancient back in the olden days when I was born!

My dad was 19 and my mum 20 (my mum is actually only 6 months older than my dad)
they were 22 & 23 when my brother was born
and my sister who has a different dad was born when my mum was 36

25

Mum 26, dad 30. Mum was told she was old for a first time mum at the time (over 40 years ago).

The average age of mothers giving birth in 1970 was 27. There would have been plenty of younger mums so there must have been plenty of older mums as well.

My maternal grandmother was 31 when my mum was born back in the 1940s (and she had a younger sibling as well).

My paternal grandmother was 38 when my dad was born back in the 1930s - she would have been 30 when her first child arrived.

22 & 24 This was 52 years ago

Mum was 37 & my Dad was 45

36 and 42. I was number four, with a thirteen gap between my youngest brother and myself. An accident!
