And what’s the oldest you personally know that doesn’t have kids?

A woman I graduated High School with became a Grandmother at 36 years old.

A friend of mine is about to be 50. He has no kids and has never been married.

I seem to heading down that path. 46 and no sign of a girlfriend. Not even trying, really.

I worked with a guy who had 10 kids and he was a grandfather at like 40.

I had an uncle who is dead now that never got married and never had kids. He died in his early/mid 60s.

My Grandpa and Grandma were 39 when I was born. I had great-great grandparents still alive.
I broke a 3 generation chain of 19 year old marriage and babies.

Ahhhh, the “bachelor” uncle.

In the mid 1900s, that was code for a guncle.

One of my sisters (no pics but she was once the Homecoming Queen) had a guncle in-law that was asexual as far as we could tell.

He was a nice old Southern dude, very mannerly and quite Type A, died and left his sister’s kids a bunch of an estate.

33

ETA: if you don't count the really olden days back when girls were married by 14 like my great grandmother was, the 1990s was a banner decade for teen pregnancy.

I know it is white trash but what can you say.

My moms youngest sister got into drugs as a young teen and was pregnant at 13. She had the child at 14. As they say the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. My cousin got pregnant at 14 and made my Aunt a grandmother by 29. My cousin's son Case went on to have a kid by the time he was 15 or 16.

To wrap it up she became a grandmother by 29, a great grandmother by her mid 40s. Case's has 2 kids who are 8-12 year old range. so she will probably be a great great grandmother by the time she is in her early 60's.

Wow that is really white trash, Luckily the rest of my family is pretty normal.

Had a friend that was 35 when she was grandmother. She was 14 when she had her daughter. I remember when I put all the ages together she told me to shut up..

I had a great aunt who was 92 when she died and she didn’t have any kids.

I’m pretty sure my wife’s aunt was like 36 when she was a grandmother.

32. Both her and her daughter had kids at 16. I’ve heard of younger (mid 20’s) through some people at the state a few years ago but don’t know them personally. I’m pretty sure DCFS was involved.
