I feel old

in Parenting after 35

There's another forum I occasionally post on. I viewed the profile of a woman who posted something...

She's got 3 kids and 2 grandkids... She's 38!!!

Are we all in some sort of parallel universe or what?

    Yikes.  I think she's an exception, but I suppose in a few more years it'll be common to have peers with grandchildren.  Heck, my bio-daughter is 25, it's only luck and her poor choice in partners that keeps me from being sort of a granny already.

    OMG! Bio-daughter? I never knew that about you, Amy.

    And yes, I'm sure she's an exception and that in a few years our peers might start having grandkids - although luckily, for me, the only chance of that is my best friend from high school who had 2 kids when he was late teens/early 20's - but it's still depressing thinking that people our age are grandparents.

    If my oldest DD had a baby at the same age I was when I had her, I would be a grandma now.  Sometimes I kinda feel crazy having a 20 year old and 10 mth old at the same time but I can't imagine life without all my girls.

    Ugh. When I first joined Facebook and reconnected with old high school peeps, I got a hard dose of reality when I saw pictures of the teenage children of people I graduated high school with. How did that happen? At the same time there were several of my high school peers that were pregnant at the same time I was.

    With the exception of my one good friend who adopted a newborn girl in January, I'm the last of my friends to have a child.  Thank goodness for Laurie and her LO... even though Aaron is 5 months older and hulking compared to her little Anna Rose, they're only 5 months apart in age and as they get older hopefully they'll be playmates (one can only hope for a friendship too).

    Edit: Though most of my friends didn't marry until their late 20s/early 30s and didn't have kids until 34/35.  So the oldest child is now 8. Only one girl I went to high school with has a college age child (she got pregnant just after graduation).

    Oh hon, I've been dealing with concept for months!

    Went to my 25th HS reunion this summer and several of my classmates have been GPs for years now.  One friend was a teenaged mom, and her son was a teenaged dad.  So she was a grandma at 32 or so!

    I was certainly the novelty at the reunion.

    A friend of mine is 41, has 2 kids ages 23 & 16 & is a grandmother. SHe just got remarried & they are now trying to conceive. I guess it could be odd one day when child & grandchild are together & the older child is calling her grandma & the younger one calling her mom.
