I can offer a Grandfather at 34 and a Grandmother at 37 This was via their Daughter who married at 16 and a half. Talking about 1893 in Portsea (Portsmouth area). It was quite a shock when I worked it out a few months ago, but it means an 'extra' generation going back to the 1837 point. I think they'll be the youngest Grandparents in my tree.

Hi Tammy What medication is your mum on that she's getting younger? Can I have some please. John

hi, i was 45yrs when my first grandson was born , now i have 8 grandchildren , 3 from my first son , 3 from my second son and 2 from my daughter the oldest is 18 and the youngest is 9yrs i love them all and would'nt be without them. hazel.

My mother and grandmother were pregnant the same time, my aunt is a few months younger than me!

Hi My Mum was 42 when I had my first child (she is now 14) and she is a very young and fit grandmother. My mum has 4 more children who haven't even started having kids yet. Tammy:~)

Jayne, being a grandparent is great!!!! much better than being a parent, you get ALL the best bits and none of the horrible stuff!!!!! Im sure my granchildren love me much more than my children did because i never have to discipline them... or been seen as the nasty ogre who wont let them do anything. As for slippers, rugs etc..... me and my sis regularly go out and paint the town red...... no rugs, slippers or cocoa for us yet!!!!! enjoy it.... it GREAT!!!!!!!!! Good luck Sharon xx

Wow! There are a lot of grandparents in there thirties. I feel heaps better. I fealt like I had to get my slippers and blankets out. Thank god I dont. I am just beginning my life. Someone said to me today I could be one of them cool energetic grandparents. It isnt sounding so bad now. You lot are great Jayne

I made my mum a grandmother at 36, I became a grandmother at 38 and my sister became a grandmother at 35. My nan who is 85 is a grt grt grandmother to 3 children. It does seem strange to think when i am researching census' etc that my grandson knows his grt grt grandmother and will probably remember her.... when i look at records and my grt grt grandparents are just a name. I think he is one lucky boy to have so many 'nans'

My sister has just become a grandmother at the ripe old age of 34... Alyson

I was 33 when first granchild was born and I have been a great grandma since March this year and still only 58.don't feel a day over 35. Sue

Well I'm 48, 49 next month and I have warned my son.... I won't talk to him ever again if he makes me a Grandmother before the age of 70.....By then I might feel 40 :))))) Chris

Hi Jane, I don't know if this makes you feel any better or not but I was a grandmother at 37 and hubby was 38. I don't know why you ask the question but hope this helps to make you feel better.. Betty

Ha Ha I just knew you would all make me feel better Jayne

Like Dee, I'm 61 with children aged 30 and 27. I'm too young to be a grandad ! Don't feel a day over 30. Lol.

Dee There's hope for you yet! I'll be very surprised to have another grandchild though it's not totally out of the question. Our grandson is 13 so we're not too wrinkly for him to relate to. John

I'm 56, with children aged 24 and 26. No grandchildren. I'm still much too young to be a granny! Lol! Congratulations to you Jayne. Dee x
