Average age

I am 69 and was hoping to have a special 70th year. Well! It certainly one to remember.
I am a sort of step gran and my partner , of 26 years, and I neve4 married. He has 3 sons, one of whom has 2 daughters, 4 years and 5 months. The other boys are in relationships, one hopefully getting married on 1st August. My daughter is nit married. She is 39 and had a partner if 13 years who cheated on her. She did try adoption but unfortunately that did not work. Hence she is concentrating on her career.
I fell fortunate to be fairly fit, healthy, positive and have good friends.
I wanted to connect with other ladies and enjoy good discussion x

I’m 67. First GD at 60 and 2nd (GS) at 63. I joined a few years ago because I wasn’t feeling that DNA pull with them and I was curious to see if anyone else on here felt the same and some did which was a relief. I love them now but it took a long time. But it still doesn’t touch what I feel for my 3 sons. I don’t think anything will.

I am 71.Love the site as there is always something of interest being discussed.
I do not have any grandchildren as my son's wife is unable to have children due to medical reasons and did not wish to adopt.
A tinge of loneliness sometimes but I soldier on.
Keep well everyone.

I'm 59 and became a nan at 49. I've 3 grandchildren now and love this grandma job. ?. I've been on here a while but read things everyday more than post things.

I'm 70 and often pop in to read all the posts. I have three children and five grandchildren.

First at 57 then second at 60.
Another one on the way.
Difficult times, just want to
give them a big hug and kisses.......

I’m 67. Gran at 65. Never posted before - a first time for everything!

Oh dear you are all so young, I am 85, became a Gran at 46, so my Gran daughters are in their 30s but have 8yr old
3yr old and baby great grand children.

I joined Gransnet about 5 years ago when I stumbled across it, and enjoy reading all your opinions.

I am 69 in 3 weeks. Became a Nana (accidently!) at 58 but they are still together and my grandson is 10 next Monday.
Also have a little 3 year old grandaughter. Cant wait to see them again!

I am 57, I became a Nannie when I was 43 and I have 5 DGC one girl and 4 boys aged 14, 11, 5, 3, and 2 yrs and I adore them all
I came across this site , I think via Mumsnet and joined a couple of months ago.

I am 83 ,grandchildren 29,28 and 28. Great fun to see them growing up in to lovely adults.

I am 52, became a grandma at 39. Now have 3 DGC, 2 girls, 12 and 4, and a boy of 9.

Ps. Turned 63 on Wednesday

I'm 63. First became a gran at 51. Again at 56, 58 and 59.

I am 80, going on 35, and lucky enough to be very healthy.
I have a GD who will be 21 this month. No celebration! A GS who was 18 last month in Australia. Also no celebration! I also have a 3 year old GD over there, and a new baby GS due next month - my planned visit to my three children, and for the birth, sadly cancelled.
It’s a pity that I can’t be there for the new baby, and hope that I will still be fit enough to fly over when all this madness is over. My main hope is, obviously, that they all stay healthy.
Best wishes to all you Grans, and non-Grans. Stay well!

Joined GN about 18 months ago when googling for tips on a good magazine for older women. One GD aged three. FaceTime is lovely but I miss the smell of her!

My first GC when I was 51, next at 53 and last one at 66, 1st 2 live in Denmark so goodness knows when we’ll see them again. Should have been going on 18th but obviously that’s off. Little one is 6 and miss her so much as saw her all the time. I’ll be 73 in May, be a tad quiet this year!

Had my first child at 33, daughter and daughter-in-law both waited until they were in their 30's so did not become a grandmother until I was 67. Had 4 grandchidren in 3 1/2 years! Hectic at times but great fun.

I’m 52, I my first grandchild arrived when I was 48

Nearing 70 but don't feel it most of the time, thankfully. Have 4 GC and 1 GGC, haven't seen them for a while. At home trying not to be bored, so glad I have your posts to read.

I’ll be 70 on 15 April. Was due to be spending my birthday with my daughter and her family who live in northern Italy, but the best laid plans .....

I have 5 blood and 4 step grandchildren, but they are just my 9 grandchildren. 8 girls and 1 boy ranging from 15 to 4 years old.

I am new and joined recently at 61 and was 39 which is quite early but the best thing to ever happened

I am 60 first became a Gran 13 years ago -

MOnica you can't be an elderly prima-gravida at 28 ! \I was 34. My mother was 35. First grandchild when I was 63. He is now 18. Second grandchild is now 15. My mother did become a great grandmother, but in her late nineties

I'm 64 but arthritis in knees and hip makes me feel 104! Some days. My only grandson is 5 and I joined on the recommendation of a friend as I have issues with access to my grandson as daughter in law and now my son over protective. Other people had expressed similar problems or worse but nice to read other people's opinions
