When did you, your children (and grandchildren) become parents?

[Gemini]

There is an interesting discussion going on on a thread Glamma started on the Great Grandmas section, so I have made somewhere for us to talk about it here!

[Plantaholic]

I was married at 21 and had DS when I was 22, DD when I was 23. I was a GM at 49. Fast worker eh!

[Gemini]

I had my children at 21, 24 , and the last one a month before my 34th birthday.

My 2 daughters who are mums had their babies at 31, 35 and 37. My youngest, aged 29 has no children as yet.

As my GC are 8, 5 and 19 months, no family for them for a long time to come!

[Oma]

I was 16 (3 weeks from 17th birthday ) when I had DD and 25 when DS was born, I was 24 when we got married
My DD was 25 when she got married and 31 when she had our GS
DS was 26 when GS2 was born married at 30 and 31 when GD was born

[Daisy]

I was just 24 when we got married, and had DS1 just after my 29th birthday. Then DS2 arrived 2 ½ years later.

DS1 was 30 when GS1 arrived in 2003 and GS2 arrived 15 months after that. DS1 got married in 2011. DS2 got married in 2005, and GD1 was born in 2010, and GD2 in 2013.

With GS1 my oldest GC at 14, there is no prospect of me becoming a Great-gran any time soon!

Late starter here. Married at 26, DD1 born when I was 30 and DD2 born 5 years later.
DD1 had Gd at 30 and GS1 at 32, married at 36,
DD2 had GS2 at 29, Married at 32, GS3 born at 33, the only GC born in wedlock 🙄

[Enfys]

Me, married at 22, had DD at 24, DS at 27.

DD, married at 24, Had GD at 27, GS at 29.

DS married at 32 GS born when he was 38.

Both DD and DS had been with their partners for a long time before they got married. DD for 7 years and DS for 10. DH and I had only known each other for 18 months when we got married. 52years later still going strong,

Enfys - my DS1 was the same - they had been living together for about a year when GS1 arrived, and GS2 was born so soon afterwards, and they moved house twice, plus GS1 was diagnosed with ASD, so they quite literally didn't have time to plan a wedding until 2011! DS2 and DIL2 had been together about 2 years when they got married, and then had GD1 five years later. So two quite different patterns!

[Glammanana]

I was first married at 19 and had DD when I was 21 then divorced at 24,she now has 5 boys and 1 girl aged between 14-26 yrs
Had DS1 when I was 25 and remarried when I was 26 he has one daughter with a previous partner DGD is now 19yrs,he married last yr after living together for 7 yrs and they are expecting new baby in April next yr.
Had DS2 when I was 32 he is married but has no children as yet.
DGS 2 has been in long term relationship since 6th form and have 1 darling baby daughter and expect no2 baby in April so next year will be busy for me on the baby front.

Plant, the eldest is 23 and the youngst will be 15 later this month.

My son was born five weeks before my 18th, I had a stillborn daughter at 25 at as a result of a beating from the charmer I stupidly married. I was pregnant at 31 but miscarried and was told that the child was never viable. I had always wanted a child with my husband but it was not to be. Probably for the best.

Eldest son was 31 when his then Partner got pregnant (they later married) and there was so much angst about it as she had just got a good job as a solicitor having not long qualified, they went on to have Sadie who is now 7 going on 37. Youngest was 32 and had been married a couple of years and that was our Ben. There will be no further grandchildren although I would not be surprised if, in the future, someone turns up claiming to be middle sons son/daughter, haven’t seen him for nearly two years and he was always a bit on the wild side.
