I could become a granny and that seems all kinds of wrong! I’m YOUNG!! 😂😂

[CathyTre]

I was 22 when my eldest son was born and now HE is 22 (dear lord!) and I can’t imagine him being a parent!

is it inevitable that we see our own children as “kids”?

my youngest son is five, so I’ve been in the thick of parenting really all my adult life (I have other children between the eldest and littlest).

I just struggle with the idea I might be Granny soon and can hardly object!

I know what you mean
I was 24 having my first (had four) and my DD2 had her son at 27... and it still felt to me like she was too young !
(which was a) ridiculous and b) she's a more competent person than I have ever been... she's an awesome Mum!)

However I can tell you now that being a Granny is THE BEST THING EVER! (I'm lucky that my dd2 stayed local to me so I do lots of Granny care) All the love, with less stress.

But no I still don't REALLY see my grown up kids as grownups :) My eldest is a doctor and yet in my head she's still about 14...

Also had first at 22 he’s 21 now though and no thoughts of being a grandparent, don’t really want any for a while as younger kids are 11/12 then 17 so pretty much over little kids now I’m tired so eldest needn’t bother thinking he can start reproducing any time soon!

wonder if I will ever be ready to be a grandparent, do hope they wait quite a few years (at least 10)

I’m so glad it’s not just me! My eldest is very capable too! I also think my eldest still needs me to do life admin for him… and he really doesn’t!

I guess this means we’ve been successful patents, in that they’ve flown the nest but are still close?

I had my eldest at 15, he is now 26 luckily no babies on the horizon anytime soon!

Had my son at 16.
He is now 16 and both he and I readily admit he couldn't even keep a plant alive! 😄

Hoping not to become a granny for at least another 10 years!

I'm 41 with an 81 year old grandmother . I bucked the trend though. I have a 3 year old at the age she became a grandmother. I can't imagine it !

I had my first at 19 and fuck me,ther thought of her having one at that age scared the hell out of me
my son is 22-at his age I had 3-I’m so lucky he’s only got a dog

i hope they’ll make me a granny in about ten years or so-if not longer

My eldest (28) has just become a dad , so I’m a nanny at 56. Feels far too young 🤣🤣 but the best thing ever. My grand child is beautiful 💙💙🥳🥳🥳🥳

I'm 42.
My mum had me at 17 so by that logic, I could have a 25 year old child who has an 8 year old.
I hope to be a granny at some point but not for a long time yet, let alone a great grandma! 🤣

I became a granny at 54. 7 years ago . Being a granny is the best thing ever. If you think you couldn't love another child with the intensity of love for your own, think again!!
Being a younger granny has its advantages, you have more energy to play games and they will have you in their life for longer. I want to be around forever for my grandchildren 🤣🥰😍🤩😂

I had my children at 19 and 21. I became a gran at 50! I dot feel that it's really too young. I could have been a gran a lot earlier!

I’m 46 and have a 14 year old step grandson and 10 year old step granddaughter.

My DS was 22 when he became a dad. It's great to be a young grandparent.

Lets hope you dont become a grandma just yet
Your 20s should be the best decade of your life .. not being stuck looking after a baby 😅

I had dd at 17, she's 13 soon and I'm hoping she does NOT make me a nana before I'm 35!! It's my biggest fear, she won't remember the bloody hard years when she was small.

I used to work with a woman who became a grandma at 37 when her youngest child was 8 both her and her daughter wanted children young all very happy.

Thinking about it, I was only speaking about me but my Mum was a granny at 34.

I think I’m resigned to being a young granny, or a really old one! Depends if/when my kids have kids! Good ti hear all experiences x

I will probably be about early 70s ( about 8 years)when ds has children...dd doesn't want any. I'm not in the least bit bothered whether grandchildren happen or not

I'm 34 and my eldest is 18! I had him at 16 so I'm pleased he didn't follow suit and make me a 32yr old granny.

@PumpkinSeason My daughter is the same! Poor Marcus (her plant) is either drowning or parched.. :-)

Good point AuntieMarys. Maybe none of my sons will be fathers!

I had my eldest at 19. I became a granny when I was 44. Felt too young then and even now, two yrs later, with 3 grandchildren I still feel too young. 😂

I think it’s that my own youngest is only five that makes it seem weird!
