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.

Presuming i've worked out when they START correctly and saying youngest finnishes at 18...me 46 dp 60 not too bad really(for me anyway).

Me 52 and DH 69

We'll both be 52.

me 45 dh 48 !AAAARRRRGGGHHHHH that seems old

Oh God I'll be 50 and dh 54 when youngest reaches 18. Assuming both go to University then we'll be 54 and 58 by the time they finsh. Then they'll probably end up back home for a few years cos they won't be able to afford somewhere to live and we'll be retired by the time they finally fly the nest. Better get saving now!!!

Don't be sad UCM, DHs are only as old as the women they feel..

Mog, well said

Curlew, I think I love you

UCM, if it helps at all...my Dad is 80 this year, travels the world giving lectures, walks miles, and is planning a birthday party centred around his youngest grandchildren. Times have changed....

I'll be 48 and dp will be 49. It's too depressing to think about dp was 31 yesterday on the same day our friend's baby turned 1 it really cheered him up when I told him when that baby turns 30 you'll be 60.

Am pregnant at moment so 18 years from now...
I'll be 50 and dh will be 51.

All those years of homework and parent's evenings...

I'm 38, one DS 16 months, hoping for more but have just had a miscariage so could reasonably expect that I might be nearly 60 when I finish. I am utterly knackered now - christ knows how I will feel then.........

56

Ill be 48 if he leaves at 18 but I want more kids so who knows.

Me - 53
Dh - 52

God I wish I hadn't read this and did the calculations - assuming DD leaves school at 18 - I'll be 59 and DH - 60 .... Oh God then there'll be a bleedin' gap year, then University for another 3 - 4 years

I just don't have the energy for all this - I'm off to rock quietly in a dark room

42 when eldest leaves ....hopefully 58 with youngest!

me 41 and dh 44.
we will be beginning our lives!
just how i wanted it.

I will be 52 and dh will be 61

And we still want another one so may be even older in the end!!!

Oh Noooooooo - I thought about this the other day. If ds4 stays at school until 18 I will be 54!!

Oh my God - I've just thought whilst I'll be 59 and DH 60 - number one son will be 33 when DD is 18 - I may have grandchildren to contend with too .... right where's the brochure on that cruise ship you can live on for ever as it sails the world ...

I'll be 60 and dh 70. And if she goes to uni we'll be 64/74 before we can stop paying for her. Methinks finding her a rich man might be a better option....

Also, by the time dd2 leaves school I'll have had children at school from 1980 to 2014, a total of 34 years!!!!!!!!!

suedonim I think you win

I will be 55 and DH 61..

But laughed that some of you will be 40ish when I am nearly 40 now and DD is only 2.11.....

lovely thread, cheers for that...

actually quite surprised to see so many older parents (although you are one your 6/7 child whilst I have just the 1....

at winning something, Iota, but I'm at all the freezing cold sports days I've had to attend!
