re: How old were your parents when you were born?

Parents were both 35 when I was born.

Given my mom’s condition now, I wish I was born right after my brothers so I would have more time with the real her.

They are both the youngest children of youngest children. My great grandparents were all born in the 1870s or 1880s, grandparents in the 20s. I have first cousins that are barely younger than my folks. Being the youngest in a family that isn’t exactly expanding is kind of depressing.

Mom was 20 (barely)
Dad was 25.

I was 32 and then 35 when my daughters were born; wife was 30 and 33.

I look at my daughters today at ages 28 and 25 and think, "WTF were my parents thinking?"

My mom was on her 2nd marriage with 2 kids when she was my older daughter's age. My older daughter is a former ICU nurse and now in LSU's nurse anesthetist program; younger daughter just got her MBA and is working. Both out of the house, neither married, nor do either have a fiancé' or even a steady boyfriend.

Things were different in the old days, though, for lower middle class folks. Back then, if you didn't go to college, what else did you do? My dad (one of 8 kids) joined the military and learned a trade; my mom lived at home with her folks and wanted to get out. Those two "kids" found each other, got married and immediately started having children of their own.

Of course, those two "kids" were only married for 8 years. So, yeah, I wish my parents HAD been older and more mature, and maybe not put us through the whole ugly ordeal of divorce, remarriage, step-parents, etc.

One of the rare instances where the woman is older than the man.
My brother is 33 and his wife is 35. They just had a daughter

My parents were 21.

I would not choose different parents age wise.

Mom - 28

Dad - 30

I was 29 when my first was born. Late 20s, early 30s is a good starting age. I was 29 when my first was born and by that time I’d had time to get the partying out of my system / learn what I wanted. If you’re married hopefully y’all have enjoyed some good years with just a family of 2.

Mom 18
Dad 22

My mom was 33, dad 34

I’m the second kid - my older sibling is 6 years older than me

I had my first at 22, husband was 27.

Mom:39

Dad:30

I was the second and last child and was born the same year as my sister.
