57 with DS1. I’ll be at least 60 for number 2 if I have another one though. DS came after a decade of ivf / infertility so I can’t complain. Everyone else I know were / will be 34-53 when their children are 18 and many are already grandparents lol.

37 & 39 I do worry that a lot of my friends will still be in the thick of toddlerhood whilst I'm regaining some freedom but I've got 16 years to figure it outGrin

Unfortunately I’ve had to start again raising 2 grandchildren lol so I will be 65 when the younger one turns 18 :(

According to my 12 year old all her mates think I'm a "cool mum" because I'm young and "get it" (she disagrees with this assessment) but apparently this is only because I had her young, and when DD3 is a teenager, I will be an "old mum" and "not have a clue". So thats something to look forward to!

@Pinuporc

I joke with DH he needs to start saving, my DDs 21st, DS 18th and my 50th are all within 3 months of each other!
This was my sister, my dad and me. We had a big joint party so probably cheaper than 3 separate things. Insist your DH does the same if he wants to save money. Wink

My oldest is turning 18 next year. With my youngest, I'll be 44, which keeps being closer than I think each time I calculate this.
