[quote=Anonymous]I think about this a lot. I’m 45 and my mom is 80. My dad would have been 90 if he was alive! My grandparents died in their late 90s in the early 2000s. We are way off of what is normal and it makes for a different kind of childhood (I was the very youngest cousin and missed the energetic days of my extended family) and a sad adulthood (everyone is dead but my mom). In our case it was just bad luck and some big fertility gaps, but sometimes I feel a little wistful for people who grew up with different luck and generational gaps. I definitely do “grandparent math” in my head when I meet my DD’s friends’ families![/quote]
