FFS she could get married or (god forbid) get pregnant (over my very dead body).

and i am too young.

How did that happen? Only 5 minutes ago she was a baby. All small and sweet.

I too am far too young to be the parent of a 21 year old.

It's shite.

MsVestibule · 20/04/2012 23:02

Ooh, but DameH, you don't look anywhere NEAR old enough to be the parent of a 16 year old! You must have been a child bride. (That better?)

Mrsjay · 20/04/2012 23:04

3 girls who were in my dds year at school have babies a girl i went to school with is a granny to one of those babies Shock

I'm far too young to be the mother of a 17 year old actually I might be too old bearing in mind how irritated I am at the high jinx in the basement. There were about 12 of them here at one point tonight. They are like super loud versions of the wallys on made in chelsea but possibly with more personality. I think at least 6 have gone to another party but there is still a lot of boy noise. pours another glass of chilled sauvignon and gently strokes remaining sanity Hmm. Posted with genuine feeling - thud, thud, ya.

DameHermione · 20/04/2012 23:05

I am only 28. I simply can' t be the mother of a 16 year old.

And she's not 16 yet. (Not till tomorrow)

marriedinwhite · 20/04/2012 23:07

So, you were 12 when she was born Shock

MsVestibule · 20/04/2012 23:07

Married! That has to be the first post of yours (your's?) I have ever seen that suggests your life is less than perfect Grin

hathorkicksass · 20/04/2012 23:07

I am only 25 in my head

marriedinwhite · 20/04/2012 23:14

MsVestibule clearly it's my nature on mnet and in rl to be the bearer of a bright smile and few complaints. He is lovely though and they all seem nice young people and the girls were very pretty and none of the boys have changed much since they were about 4 Wink

ComposHat · 20/04/2012 23:16

I'm 32 and worked out that I am now old enough to be a grandparent.

Depressing stuff.

MsVestibule · 20/04/2012 23:17

Married, I'm pleased normal service has been resumed. Now don't do it again, it's unnerving.

IAmBooyhoo · 20/04/2012 23:20

'the girls were very pretty' Hmm

anyway. i'm still 16. have been for a while now. you can ask my son, he'll tell you and he knows, because he has celebrated all my 16th birthdays with me for the past 6 years. Grin

marriedinwhite · 20/04/2012 23:25

They've gone - DH will be out of the study for a moan and a whiskey in a minute Grin

startail · 20/04/2012 23:25

I went to my 7 year old flower girls own wedding last summer.
She was 27, five years older than I was when I got married!!!!

That really did make me feel old.

tabulahrasa · 20/04/2012 23:37

Not only does my eldest turn 16 next month, my youngest starts secondary school this year too, my youngest - the baby...

I am far to young to be the mother of an 18 year old. This is true fact because I actually am also mother to a three year old and a couple of others in their teens so the law of something says I can't be both.

Marriedinwhite - one of my lot have been at a mate's house in your neck of the woods, I'd bloody laugh if they knew your DC - they all seem to be so damn intertwined in this neck of the woods.

Moominsarescary · 20/04/2012 23:45

I'm too young to be the mother of a 17 year old and too old to be the mother of a 1 year old

That's how I feel anyway

marriedinwhite · 21/04/2012 00:01

FrankWippery I think one or two might have been intertwined in the basement tonight Grin.

Mrsjay · 21/04/2012 00:06

moomin that must be a strange feeling Grin

FrankWippery · 21/04/2012 00:17

Hahahahahaha!

DameHermione · 21/04/2012 09:28

I have been 28 for some time.

I woke up this morning at 8.38. The time she was born.

She's been out all night at a friends party so i can't even be all sloppy and maudlin over her.

My oldest is 27. I am only 25 until I look in the mirror each day. It's such a shock when I see my grandmother staring back at me!
