Just musing on this as I recently told people I was taking a day off to attend my daughter's graduation and they assumed I meant from nursery 😂

I'm mid-forties and my children are 21 and 17.

My cousin became a grandmother at 44 @Starseeking - she had her own daughter at age 20. It was wonderful to see, she and her husband are besotted with their little granddaughter and I did get a tiny pang of "ooh I hope that's me one day!".
