[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is different now. My mom was 24 when I was born and her’s and my dad’s parents were in their mid to late 40s. Nothing was considered odd about this. My mother was a grandmother (my sister’s kids) with her three kids through college by the time her mom needed substantial care. [b]I had my children at 40 and 43.[/b] I am lucky that my mom and dad are relatively young. They are late 70s and have no substantial health issues and I am hopeful there will be no real health issues for my parents (or DH’s, who are around the same age) before our kids are in college.[/quote] It is not typical for any population, even DC proper. You can hardly cite your experience as generational, because DCUM alone does not represent a whole generation.[/quote]
