Age of attaining grannyhood

How lucky you all are. I was 74 - almost given up hoping!

I was 54 when my granddaughter was born.

My brother and sister in law will become GREAT grandparents in less than 3 months time at ages 63 & 61. Their son will be a grandfather at the grand age of 39!

I was 45. My eldest grandson is 51. I became a great grandma at 85.

My first granddaughter was due on my 60th birthday but she turned up 3 days late. I still pull her leg ab missing the party!

I was 55 when GC1 was born. GC4 expected in a couple of months time.

My maternal grandmother was 60 when I was born. She died when I was 4yo. My paternal grandmother had been dead for nearly 40 years by the time I was born. If she'd lived, she'd have been 86yo when I was born!

I was 70, and now 74, wish I had more energy to keep up with Dgs.
He is a naturally boisterous little boy but he really tires me out.
Wish I had been younger.

53. Hubby was 54 and moaned that he was too young to be a granddad.

I was 38

I find the idea of being a grandmother under 60, quite odd. Both my grandmothers were 60 when I was born, my children's grandparents were both about a year short of 60.
DH and I were both 64 and my Dil's mother was 71 when we became grandparents.

No disadvantages that I can see. By the time they came we were retired so free to spend time with DGC, although not living close enough to offer regular support. At nearly 76. I can still hold my own in a kickabout and keep up with DGC, the elder of whom is now in secondary scool

I was 38 the first time, and 45 the second time ?

I was 53 when my DGS was born

I was 47 when oldest DGS arrived and 69 when the most recent DGD arrived I have 9 altogether now 5 boys & 4 girls love them all to bits

43 for me. I had an 18 month old son myself at the time, so they were more or less brought up together. I became a great grandma at 67.

I was 58 when the first was born and 66 when the last one arrived unless, of course, my DD surprises us.

I was 44 when my first DGC was born, having been a young mum at 21. I now know 3 beautiful DGC with (hopefully) a few more to come from younger DC (I have 5 kids), although I’m not as fit as I was

For me grandchildren were a bit like buses, I waited for a while then 6 came along in quick succession (from 2 daughters). I was 53 when the first arrived.

I became a Step-Gran at 39 to my Step-Daughter's DS, DD followed 3 years later.

I became Nan when DD had DGS1 at 54, I was 62 when DGS2 was born.

My DM became Great Granny at 81 & 89

57

I was 57 ....my mum was 50 .... my grandmother was 46 . There’s a pattern in my family of grandmas getting older .

I was 40 when my daughter had her first and 68 when my son had his - but there are only 6 years between son and daughter!

I was 74 when the 1st DGS was born closely followed by the 2nd and last, Love them to bits bit find coping with both at a time too much. Just about manage a day with the youngest.

I was 48 and 55 when last one was born. Love them all to bits and so happy I was young enough to run around with them and do daft things! Couldn’t do it now though!

I was 38 and always told my girls, I didn’t want to be a granny until I had at least hit 40+ yrs. Well that didn’t happen 2 by the time I hit. 40. Wouldn’t swap hem for the world, now have 20 grandchildren and 2 great grandchildren and I’m 62. Love it when they all come home for Christmas and new year and stay the week, such fun
