To ask if anyone past 30 still has a full set of grandparents?

[ComposHatComesBack]

I'm mid 30s and have one grandparent left. Most people I know of a similar age are in a similar boat 0-2 grandparents still alive.

Out of curiosity really, has anyone been lucky enough to have made it past 30 with the 'full set' of two grandfathers and grandmothers?

DH and I have lost all our grandparents. They'd be mid to late 90s if any were still alive. Our last grandparent - my paternal grandmother who had dementia - died when I was 31.

I'm 39 I have no grandparents and my children only have 1

I'm 30 and still have both sets of Grandparents. So the dcs have 4 Grandparents and 4 Great-Grandparents . Christmas is chaos as you can imagine, we are very very lucky.

DH's last Grandparent died when he was 9.

I only ever had two, DMs parents didn't make it into her teens. Just lost my DGM at 38, lost my DGF when I was 16. I was so privileged to have had him. He was a wonderful man and I miss him daily. Losing DGM has brought so many wonderful memories flooding back. Feel sad happy thinking of him.

When she was born DD had 3 GGPs. She's just turned 6 and has none left. I miss DHs granda daily as well. He was so easy to love.

I only had one when I was born. dc had a full set until they were 6 and 4, so are not going to make 30 with a full set.

I knew mine until I was in my 20's. I have always hoped that my kids would have theirs until in their 20's.

Any more than that seems amazingly lucky.

But then my grandparents all had kids late, and I have had my kids late. So I guess I am really lucky my mum had us early!

My grandparents were all long lived 88, 92 and 92. (the 4th died in war, so doesn't really count)

I had all 4 until I was 20. I'm now 33 and still have both my paternal grandparents. DH is 38 and has his grandmother left.

I did at 30, still have 3 now, they are fairly well in their early 80's. I feel lucky my DCs know them, DH hasn't any still alive but my PILs had him and BIL later on.

There is a tendency to have dcs young on my side of the family, GM was 21 when DM was born, DM was 24 when i was born and i was 16 when DD1 was born (unplanned!).

DH's mum was 32 when she had him and her DM was in her 30s when she had her.

Mine are still alive all 90's (2x94, 1x97, 1x98 ) - I'm 50... unusual I know, my dad died 4 years ago - so his parents have both outlived him.

DH has none.

Wow somewhere that's pretty impressive!

Wow! That's great! In DHs side.of the family all the women lived well into their 90's but the men never made 60. Mine were around 80 when they died so not bad, really.

3 of my grandparents died before I was born. One died when I was 7. Both parents are now dead. My dc only knew 2 grandparents and will shortly have none.

I'm 40, I have have 3 grandparents left. My grandad died in a plane crash a few months before I was born. My other grandad has dementia and doesn't know who I am. One grandma also has dementia and barely knows who I am. The last grandma is a bitch who I have been NC with for 20 yrs now.

35 and have one left (paternal grandmother, 94). My paternal grandfather died when I was one, and both my mum's parents when I was 13. I loved them very much and still think about them often. I always wear the ring my grandad got my nan for their ruby wedding anniversary (which was a couple of years before they died).

My husband only has one left now (maternal grandmother, 90) but had a full set til his early 20. We are lucky that our parents are all still alive and spoil our kids rotten, just like I remember my grandparents doing for me.

Ive never had a full set, my dads mum died when he was young. My GM died 5 years ago so now I don't have any.

I'm so glad that my DCs have all 4 and have such a great relationship with them all.

Had all 4 when I was born, lost one nana when I was 30 and one grandad when I was 31. DH had 3 gps when he was born, one granny died before he was 10 and he list grandfather earlier this year.
My dd is lucky in that she has all 4 gp and up to 18 months ago had 5 great gp as well, she loved telling people she had 9nanas and grandads

I'm 33 and I have 3 grandparents left out of 4, all are in late 80's and early 90's.

DH has both sets and he's nearly 38. They're all in their 80s but in generally good health.

I lost my last grandparent when I was 22 and she was the only one I knew. Both grandads died years before I was born and my paternal grandmother died when I was 2.

Its great for my kids as they get spoilt rotten when we visit them all.

I do! I'm 31. I had a great-granny living until last year (she was 102).

All grandparents lost by 16 ... I'm 51 now and have my mum and ma-in law left

I am 33 and I still have both of my paternal grandparents. But sadly my beloved maternal Granny passed away yesterday aged 90. She will be sorely missed. My maternal grandfather died before I was born.

With still having all 4 in their 90s, I think our family gene pool is "lucky" - or it could have something to do with coming from an island - over the years things have become more "the same" as the rest of UK but overall less contact with nasty viruses and pollution might have had an effect - none of my grandparents have ever travelled more than 40 miles from home - or smoked or drank alcohol - and all 4 of their (very limited!!) diets seem to consist of fish, cabbage, potatoes, rhubarb crumble, custard, cake and copious cups of tea.

I still have 4. DMs parents are 70 and my dads are in their late 80s. I have a very young family, teen parents of teen parents. They're all fit and healthy too

None here since the age of 8.

OH and I have only one living parent left between us- the other 3 are dead.
