If you had hair the same colour as your eldest aunt, what colour would your hair be? Brown,

HolyMoly24 · 03/12/2025 21:41

21 (she already had my 3 year old brother)

CryMyEyesViolet · 03/12/2025 21:42

Aka, what age was your mum when she had you?

PrincessOfPreschool · 03/12/2025 21:43

So basically: how old was your mum when she had you?

So you're really asking "how old was your mum when you were born"?

PrincessOfPreschool · 03/12/2025 21:43

Sorry x post!

BeNoisyFish · 03/12/2025 21:44

I think the question is wrong...

This made me laugh

BarryKentPoet · 03/12/2025 21:45

I was the exact same age, to the month even.

I must be tired, because I can't make sense of that sorry @OneUmberJoker

That was in 1955

I had my first when I was 31

My DD had her first at 32

Are you asking how old would I be now had my mother given birth to me at the same age that I became a parent?
So i became a parent in my 20s, my mother gave birth to me in her 40s.. i would be in my 50s now if she had given birth to me the same age as i was when i gave birth to mine.

My head hurts! 🙃

How old was my mum when I was born? 32. She turned 33 three weeks later.

I’m the youngest of 4.

BeNoisyFish · 03/12/2025 21:51

Maybe the premise is that "our mothers had us young and it's a long way of saying when did your mother have you? Could you imagine being this young?" My mother had me in her 40s and i became a mum in my 20s so the trend of having babies later didn't apply to me.
I should really be reading relaxing things before bed this is waking me up more😆

Crushed23 · 03/12/2025 21:53

29, which seems bonkers young to me now (I’m 36, no kids).

I didn’t even know who I was at 29!

AutumnAllTheWay · 03/12/2025 21:53

She was 27

I was 35

HostaCentral · 03/12/2025 21:54

36, but I was number 4 and a mistake! She had my eldest brother when she was 18.

GovernmentFundedSteak · 03/12/2025 21:54

That's a very complicated way of saying "how old was your mum when you were born?"

  1. I had a 4 year old at that age.
Pollqueen · 03/12/2025 21:55

She was 20, I was 28

zoemum2006 · 03/12/2025 21:55

My mum was 17 when I was born! I am 50 now. So...my mum had a 33 year old daughter when she was my age!! (instead of a 19 year old that I have)

Upsetbetty · 03/12/2025 21:55

What a strange way to phrase that question!!
