younger

Older. Had my DC late 30s whereas my mum was late 20s.

I was 28, mum was 30.

Exactly the same age, for both first and second baby. Mum and I were both 28 when we had our first and 30 when we had our second.

Older , I was 26 and 29, mum was 23 and 25

2 years older

I had my first at 29. My mother had 5 by the time she was 26!

Younger, she was 27 and I was 21 - we both married at 20 though (although I had only just turned 20 and she was nearly 21)

Much much much older!

Girls had babies very young in the 70’s.

Under no circumstances could I have even contemplated a child at 19!! I was a kid myself!

Wasnt ready until my 30’s.

The same age 23 almost 24

10 years older

i remember my father pointing out that I was the same age as my mum when she had me ( aged 32). She replied ‘ no I was younger’ like this was better. She was about 6 months younger.

FFS. Families, eh?!

I come from a blended family and I only share one parent with all of my older siblings. There were only months between me, my mum and my dad.

My Mum was 22 years and 3 months
I was 22 years and 9 months
My dad was 23 years and 2 months

Much older! Mum was 21 when she had me, I was 37 when I had my daughter.

My Mum was 29 and Dad 26 when I was born.

I had my first child at 27.

I was older than my mum, younger than my dad.

Older. My mum was 21 when she had me, 22 when she had my brother. I was 35 when I had my son and now pregnant again at 38. She always struggled for money and they weren't the most imaginative parents and I didn't want to be like that. Sure I'd like to be around longer for my children/future grandchildren but glad I did it this way round when I felt financially and emotionally ready.

Older and also older than sisters and Nan when she had my mum too

Younger. I was 32 and my mum was 35

Older but not intentionally - we started TTC around the same time she did, but had infertility and took 7 years.

Older. My mum was 21 when she had me, then 37 when she had DB1 and 39 with DB2. I was 31 with DD and 35 with DS

Mum was 27, 30 and 33.

I was 34 and 36.

Older by 6 yrs, sister was older by 3.

Older by 5 years and my daughter was older than me by 5 years when she had her first child.

Older, my Mum was 18 when she had me and 21 my brother and her marriage fell apart not long after

I was 21 with DS1 and 41 with DS2

Younger. My mum was 40 I was 30.
