If your mother has a sister, and that sister has a daughter who is the same age as you, and you both call the same woman “granny”… then what is that woman’s auntie to you?

As I was going to St Ives, I met a woman who had a baby at 40. What age would the baby have been if she had a baby at the same age as her mother did?
😆
Sorry OP. After a really cranky evening, this thread has given me a giggle.

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

This 😂 so random. I was 4 years younger when I had my first, than when my mum had her first (not me).

Upsetbetty · 03/12/2025 22:04

I cant remember 😭😭

She is 6.5 now and i am 34

Which made me 28? 😕😕😄

I'm gonna have to go onto my notes app

--

27! She was conceived when I was 26, then I turned 27 when I was pregnant and then 28 when she was 6 months old

I know you were all on the edge of your seats there 🤭

Specialagentblond · 03/12/2025 22:07

27

Deadringer · 03/12/2025 22:08

38, and I was her 12th (surviving) child

mindutopia · 03/12/2025 22:16

My mum had me at 30, nearly 31 and I had my eldest at 32.

2chocolateoranges · 03/12/2025 22:19

My mum had me at 27, I had my daughter at 27 too. Only 5 more years to see if dd follows the trend 😂

NormasArse · 03/12/2025 22:19

My mum was 19.

I was 21.

Fathippo · 03/12/2025 22:23

40… I was actually 16!

ItsameLuigi · 03/12/2025 22:23
  1. Had her first at 19 tho. I was 20 when I had my son, so I kinda did copy😂
goodnightssleepbenice · 03/12/2025 22:24

My mum was 27 , I was just 19

Yamahahaha · 03/12/2025 22:26

There seems to be a trend at the moment to ask questions in the OP in the most convoluted way possible.

TheCurious0range · 03/12/2025 22:26

My mum was 23 I was 34

ETA I'm the eldest child

WanderlustMom · 03/12/2025 22:29

Same age - 20, but she had her first at 18

mildlysweaty · 03/12/2025 22:31

What?

calkel · 03/12/2025 22:32

CryMyEyesViolet · 03/12/2025 21:42

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

I read it 3 times before I realised what was being asked Confused

OldBeyondMyYears · 03/12/2025 22:33

My mum had me when she was 23 and 10 months.

I had my first child (in 1990) when I was 23 and 8 months.

So almost the same 🤷‍♀️

Maraudingmarauders · 03/12/2025 22:35

She was 33 when she had me. I was also 33 when I had my DS. Only difference is I was the 2nd of 2, DS is my first.

Bluespottedfrog · 03/12/2025 22:39

33

My Mun had to babies at 33& 38. This was probably seen as geriatric in 1975/80

I had 2 babies at 34 & 37

Andregroup · 03/12/2025 22:40

The question has overcomplicated it, but my mother was 19 when she had me.
