One of my most successful colleagues had her kids at 15 and 19. Grandmother at 35.

There are exceptions.

I waited til I was 41. Will probably be a grandmother at 80.

All of that is gross.

I have friends who just welcomed their first grandchild at age 70. I feel sorry for them that it's likely they won't get to see that one, or future others, grow up. I'm sure they will enjoy their grands first 10 or so years though.

How in the world were you a grandparent at age 42? Most inappropriate.

Maybe in your world. I got married at 18 and had my first at 19, my son got married at 20 and had his first at 22. Nothing inappropriate about it.

Not inappropriate. My parents married at 17 and 18, had 4 kids in a row. Became grandparents at 41 and 42. Married for 63 yrs. All 4 of the kids have been married 30+ years.

Not at all. What’s gross is being a judgemental woman who tears other women down.
