    My mum was 29 and my dad was 28, old by the standards of the time. In comparison I'll be 35 when my first child is born and my girlfriend will be 32.

    Both years younger than I am now and I have no children. I feel like a bit of a failure in that regards.

    Makes sense looking at when I was had, and being an only child, and why I always kinda think :eek: when anyone says theyre having kids in theyre 20s, esp early 20s, just comes from what Im used to tbh!

    Mum was 35, Dad was 36. Ancient by the standard at the time.
    Scary that most of the mums' ages so far have been younger than me and I still consider myself a child, far away from having any babies :eek:

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    Because of her age or because she was older than your dad. Born in 1980 myself to a 28 year old mum. I was the 2nd of 5. :eek:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,678 ✭✭✭TrustedApple


    Mother was 37
    Father was 35

    But the more crazier thing is my dad who's mother was 45 when she had him and my grandfather was i think 55 back in the days of 1950s Italy

    Like i have a 90 year old uncle and 2nd cousins who are older then me LoL

    My Mum was 23 and Dad 24, and had been married over a year when I was born in 1978. Seems a very young age to be married by todays standards, but I would think that would have been about average back then.

    I'm quite surprised at the amount of people who's mother is older than their father. Kinda bucks the usual trend of the man being older than the woman in a relationship.....
