[quote=Anonymous]My parents were 32 and 37 when they had me. My dad’s parents were mid 30s when they had him (first child) and my mom’s parents were 40 and 45 when they had her (4th child after a long break) So, my grandparents all died when I was in my 20s except for maternal grandfathers who died when I was 3. It is too bad I didn’t know him, but my life wasn’t bad without young grandparents - just different. My problem is my dad was a parent in his law firm and my parents owned a 6 bedroom Victorian by the time they had kids in their late 20s / early 30s. They are still in that home. By contrast we were finishing degrees and living in a studio (that I owned) when our first was born and now rent a two bedroom apartment in a different city and feel unsure about where we want to raise our kids long term.
