How old will you and your DH/DP be when your youngest child leaves school.....

[HRHQueenOfQuotes]

assuming that they stay until they're 18 (ie do their A levels).

I've just worked out that I will be 45 and DH will be 49.

me 45 dh 48

aha...that it's iota.
I forgot its' me that PG and not our fishface

Honestly, if my brain is soooo fudged now, what hope is there for me in january??

Shit, I am 49 NOW!!! So...I will be 55.

we'll be 41 - very respectable!

I will be 40 and exp will be 42...

(But their is a small chance I may have another attempt... )

50 for me

53 and 55

sorry 52, ugh how depressing

58 and 59. Bloody hell...

I will be 61 and dh will be 64. With a bit of luck, we will both be retired!

same as twiglett, how depressing (age not twiglett similarity). realsie i must really be an older mum as most people on here seem at being in their 40s when kids leave - we'll be approaching teenage tantrums then! So much for idle hedonistic 20s - which mine were, admittedly! No-one says there's pay back time, do they?!

i'll be 40 and dp will be 43

I will be 49, DH will be 48 and a lot of months.

rantothehills .. if it makes you any less depressed I'm older than DH

I would like to say that you are all going to be these ages anyway

god both dh and I will be 58 aaargh!!!

I will be 52, dh will still be 51 by a couple of months. Worked out like that, 50 seems much closer and I don't like it!

i'll be 40 - pretty good as hes only 4months old!

when ds3 went to Uni at 18 I was 44 and dh was 43, of course that was a long time ago ........

God, some of you will still be younger than I am now and my youngest isn't 18 months yet!

and can I just say - all these 'ughs' 'oohs' 'aahs' and 'oh how depressing' are peeing me off!

You can go off folk you know, it's bloomin' great from where I'm standing

.... back me up Jan

the other thing is it makes no odds .. cos do you really think they're leaving your house when they turn 18?

they may well go away to university .. but they'll be home for extended periods during the holidays and they'll probably move back in after graduating

you will be kicking them out of the house when you're 70 you mark my words

(we're planning on selling up when the last one goes to uni and buying a boat )

you're right Twiglett - youngest was about 26/27 and we virtually kicked him out (actually urged to buy somewhere before it became impossible for him)

If DD2 does A levels she'll finish school when I'm 58. I am planning to spend my menopausal years surrounded by lush young men who've come a'calling.
