50 !!! such a massive shock !!!

Maw and to the other mothers who have lost their DC

My oldest child is fifty soon - five minutes ago I was walking her to playschool. I became a Granny at fifty - wonder if she will?

Maw and any others

One daughter is 55 (and has retired), the second one is 50. Very hard to believe. Fortunately I'm still fit (touches wood), and enjoy doing lots of things with them.

I'm used to a lot of my GC being as tall as or towering over me.Even the 9 year olds are my height.(thank goodness for the 2 yr old & the new baby😁)

My daughter is 38 and it sometimes seems very weird. In my mind she's still a teenager. . . And my little baby son who died in 1979 would be almost 44 now. That's hard to think of.

Thank God we have good family genes.They've only just stopped ID-ing eldest DD (nearly 43) in shops!😅☺️

I am 68 my parents still alive are 90 and 88, I am still trying to get credit in the corner shop

My son would be 40 in May. I lost him to cancer age 26. His younger siblings are now age 37 and 35, which messes with my mind. I'm so blessed to have my other son plus my daughter though, and 3 grandchildren. He was just about to get married to the girl he'd met at school 10 years earlier . She's now 40 and hasn't met anyone else, it destroyed her. I'm blessed I saw him reached adulthood though, and I knew the man my child became. What shocks me too is how my tiny first grandchild is now at secondary school and she's nearly as tall as me .....how did that happen! 😂

My middle daughter had her youngest in december (aged 38) i told her how time flies- it wont seem long till shes grown up etc etc.she laughed.It only dawned on her when she rang other day & i mentioned MY age when i had her youngest sibling (turned 40 3mth after i had him) and she said "OMG im going to be old when she grows up!" Well cheers for that DD🤣

Mid fifties…………all grandchildren grown up……..how did all that happen so quickly. On the plus side, they are all relatively healthy and have all done well, so there’s not much to complain about.

My grand-son is 40 years old next month!!!

Callistemon21-😂how cheeky!

Mine is "only" 47 but it still surprises me. My youngest is 37.

My eldest 43 in 3mths- her youngest brother (my 'baby') is 20 a week after hers.Where did the time go? My eldests eldest was 25 yesterday.Good job we all weather well in our family.im dreading my 60th in summer.🤫

Sorry that was meant for Maw 🙂

My lad would of been 40 this year so I feel for you. It's hard when they are forever another age 😪

Sons 48 & 46, daughter 44 …
Age is a funny thing, someone asked me how old I was the other day, and I really had to stop and think 🤔 when I then said “70” I just burst out laughing as it just sounds so absurd 🤣 moi, where did my life go, the eternal young woman !
Still, what a privilege to still be here to laugh, I’ve already lost 6 dear friends in 3 years so I am so grateful for my health and happiness.

Agree with Kitty

My eldest is 63 and the baby is 60!

Maw

For you merlotgran 💐

Beautiful stories. Mine are early to mid 30s, so a way to go yet. I will treasure everyday.

so sad for too many of you.

That made me feel old CanadianGran I have grandchildren older than your daughter.

Love and hugs to everyone who has lost a child, there are no words.

I agree with Kitty, I have no words, but lots of hugs.

Our youngest and the only child together would have been 46 this year...eldest daughter(the one who was adopted and who found me when I was 50) is 53 this year. Youngest is 49.
