[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel like a lot of millennials refuse to do the math. When I was small, my grandma was in her 50s. People complaining about lack of help when “my parents’ parents helped them”: how old are your parents? My guess is, substantially older than their parents were when you were born.

It’s nobody’s fault. It’s just a societal change. Complaining won’t help. [/quote]

my grandma was 31 when my mom was born, my mom ws 31 when she had me, I was 35. 
I dont think times have changed THAT much. 
[b]50s as a grandma means they both had kids in early 20s[/b] which is pretty young even for the 1980s.[/quote]

Math says: no, if they both had kids in their early 20s then grandma would have been in her 40s. Grandma is born in 1920, has her first kid at 22 in 1942, who has her first kid at 22 in 1964. Grandma’s 44.

50s as a grandma on means they both had kids in their [i]late[/i] 20s. Grandma is born in 1920, has her first kid at 28 in 1948, who has her first kid at 28 in 1976. Grandma is 56.

Sorry, just had to speak up for Math. [/quote]
