My mom was 24 for me and 30 for my sister, I'm 29 right now and although I don't really want children, if a good guy came along, yeah right
, I could change my mind, but i don't want to have children any later than 33 or 34, I want to enjoy my retirement! so this guy better hurry up

My mom and dad had me when they were only 18 &19. My mom was pregnant with me when she graduated high school, then had me that summer. Then 3 yrs later- they got a divorce.

My mom went on and got remarried having two boys, Blake and Brock. I am 6 yrs older then blake and 10 yrs older then Brock

My dad later got re-married years later. Had my little sister named Lockin and I'm 15 yrs older then her


As of right now, they are both divorced and single...



**Did you hear in the news the lady that just had a kid at like 60 yrs old!!!

Hmm... Well, my biological mother was 16 or 17 when she had me (a Sr. in HS). My mom was 33/34 when they adopted me. I'm almost 28 and no kids yet but we plan on starting to try by or before I turn 30.

Mum must have been 20 when she had my brother and 22 when she had me. My dad died when I was 4, so by my age she was a widower with 2 young kids. Scary!

She's an amazing woman though and pretty much put her life on hold to raise us, and once I finished high school (when she was 38ish), she picked up right where she left off, and went out clubbing with her friends, put herself on internet dating sites and has done a heap of travel since.


DH's parents are almost as old as my grandparents, and there is a huge generation gap between them, so we always said we'd have kids as soon as we were ready - we want to be healthy enough to able to have fun with our kids through their whole life and be in touch with what they're going through.

My mom was 40 and my dad 41.

I am the younger by 9 years, and no, I wasn't a suprise!

Although I did get taken for a grandchild more often than a child...

My mom was 34 when she had me. IMO, that is just too dang old. She was on her third husband (my 'dad') and wanted kids so she could be a stay-home mom. "Had kids cuz I thought I had to" was her reasoning. (I have an older sister, 2 yrs my senior)

Mom is falling apart now. Due to bad diet, NEVER exercising and well a whole lotta drinking (whiskey of all things). She is 69 going on 109.

To me, even back when I was just a lil girl, she seemed "old". Not due to AGE, either! But due to her lack of 'life' and spirit. I'm a year older than she was when she gave birth to me, and I look & feel like a teenager (so says my daughter, who I had at age 24).

My mother was 22 or 23 when she had me. As far as my father is concerned, 22-23 is too young to have children; he thinks I should wait until I'm in my 50s.
On the other hand, he did always threaten not to let me date until I'd turned 30 ...

42. They told her I would be retarded and she should consider not having me. She was 26 when she had my brother! Luckily she is very young at heart.

and, no, I wasn't a surprise
Dad said he wanted another...

I'm almost 33 and no kiddos yet.

My mom and dad were both 20 when I was born. Also my dad's mother was 20 when he was born.

So, my mother and father are 20 years older than me and my grandmother is 40 years older than me. That makes it real easy to figure out people's ages when birthdays come around
