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?

There shouldn't be an apostrophe - autocorrect put it there, not me!

I never had a full set. My paternal grandfather died in 1952. I'm 35, have one grandma left.

I did have a great nana until I was 18, she was lovely.

No grandparents and only one parent left.

I am 38

But my grandparents all died before I was born.

I had 3 when i was born, paternal GF died in the war, paternal GM died when i was 5 and Maternal GPs died close together when i was in my early 20s

Yes, I had all 4 of mine until I was 40 and then they all died within 2 years of each other, which was hard on my parents especially as they basically spent the years when I was 35-40 caring for 4 very elderly people, all in their 90s. However, my DCs certainly benefitted from having great grandparents around until their mid teens. It was tough when they seemed to all die at once. DH never knew any of his grandparents. It was quite unusual though growing up with them all around and quite young. I am the third generation to have had children in my mid twenties so they were all a bit younger than average.

Lost both paternal grandparents within six months when I was 25. However, I was blessed to have both my maternal grandparents until in my 40s.

Never knew paternal grandparents. Maternal grandfather died when I was 7, grandmother when I was 16.

Maternal grandparents died before I was born.
My grandmother died when I was 31 and my grandfather when I was 36.

DH is nearly 46 and still has his maternal grandparents (but both his parents are dead)

ZOMBIE

But for what it's worth, I lost all grandparents by the time I was 25.

I'm 42 and I'm lucky enough to still have both of my maternal grandparents.

At 20 I only had one grandma, in my family women give birth late, and my dad lost his dad when very young.

My DH didn’t lose any grandparents until he was 30 and he has two older siblings.

Unfortunately he then lost them all in just over a year.

Yes, I had all four until I was in my 40's. I lost them all between 40 and 45. Nanna was 89 and the others were all in their 90's.
Hopefully that means I’ll live a long life too 😀

DH and I are both 27 and both have 3 living grandparents so neither of us will make it to thirty with a full set. DH lost his paternal grandmother when he was a teenager (not exactly sure when) and I lost my paternal grandfather when I was 19. I knew one set of great grandparents as well, they died when I was about 5 and 8.

Full set on both sides, I'm 31.

No, and my eldest two DCs had one grandparent until they were toddlers. My youngest DCs have never known a grandparent.

By the time I was 2, 3 of my 4 grandparents had died. My remaining grandparent died before I was 30.

I lost both my grandads within 6 months of each other when I was 33. I still have both my nans. I also had my great grandmother who was a big part of my life until my mid teens.

My dh however only ever knew one grandparent and she passed away last year when dh was 35.

36 and have none left :( Nana died at 86 4 years ago and the rest More than 15 years ago. So sad, grandparents bring so much happiness and I miss my Nana’s stories.

I met all dh's grandparents and he had a full set until he was 23 although he only has one left now he is 40. I'm 37 and lost 3 of mine when I was a child but I still have my granny. My eldest dc is 13 and has 2 great grandparents and 3 grandparents which I think is really good at his age.

Lost my last grandparent at 28 she was 88 but she lived to meet all of my children and adored them . I never had a full set my paternal grandfather died the year before I was born at 59 . My sister in law had a full set until she got married then lost 3 in quick succession . That meant for a while her daughter had a full set of greatgrandparents

I didn’t have parents, never mind grandparents then! So my DCs have only knows 2 GPs, I only knew 1.
DH had his GM until his early 30s.
