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

Think both were 24 when I was born. I'm the oldest. We had our two when we were 28 and 35. A lot to be said about having a stable good financial career before starting (which we did even at 28). But also would be nice to have the kids done with college by around 50 so I can enjoy my money before I'm on a fixed retirement income.

40 and 38
Ideal age is in the mid to late 20s.
You can then enjoy your grandkids all the way to their weddings and graduation from medical school.

27 and 27. Mom was less than a month from 28 and dad was 4 months from 28.

Mom - 35
Dad - 37
They were considered older parents at the time. It was never a big deal, but it does suck that they are 10-12 years closer to the end than if they’d been ~25. I’m not looking forward to life without them.

Yep. I wish mine were still here but glad I don't have to go through it...

If I remember correctly, they were both 24 or 25. Off the top of my head I can’t remember when either of their birthdays fell.

Mom was 18
Dad was 22
On my mother's side my grandma was 36 and Grandpa was 39
My great grandma, mom's grandma was 54.
I was 29 and my wife was 27 when my oldest was born, My great grandma came down from Minnesota to see him since we named him after my great grandpa. I got a 5-generation picture with all of them. Was lucky to have both great grandparents on my mom's mom's side alive until my great grandpa died when I was 25. My great grandma died shortly after my oldest was born.

dad - 27 mom - 26
I was 37 and my wife was 31 when we had our daughter 3 months ago. My daugther does not know this, obviously, but she is a lot better off with 37 year old Parrothead vs 27 year old Parrothead.

My parents were 24 at my birth...
I was 37 at my twin's birth.
I really wish I had had them younger as I won't get to see as much of their lives, and my grands lives, as my friends who started earlier will.

I think this is only the 3rd or 4th case of an older Mother..

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.
Yeah that is definitely a downside of an early marriage. I would imagine the divorce rate is higher for a younger bride and groom.
