The fact that most of our parents had children at a younger age is not surprising at all. A few teen parents in this thread, which isn't surprising either.

35 and 41. She had me (her first) late for her cohort, when she was 29.

35 and 44

She was 41, or 40 if you count her 8-month stillborn. I’m 33. Oldest is almost 4. I’m so happy I was able to start earlier.

How old are you?

Why is this important to know?

I am much older than my mother was when she had a kid who is the age of my oldest. I’ll also be much older when my first finishes high school. I’m trying to see if this is generally the norm.

So why didn’t you just ask when everyone had their first kid v their mother?

Once again, that’s not what I’m asking. If you don’t get it, please move on.

If you don’t understand how this is the same, you should try math.

My mother had her first at age 25 and 11 months, and her last at 30 and 3 months. Lots of people commented on how old she was with my younger brother. Some people implied it was irresponsible of her to have a baby past 30.

In contrast, I had my only at 29 and 11 months and 2 weeks. Many people have commented that they can't believe I had a kid "in my 20's", as if I was a baby myself.

36, 48. Kid is 13.

My mom was 39 with an 18 year old. I am 52 with an 18 year old.

My mother was an older first time mom when she started having children. I'm the oldest child and she was 30 when she had me - I was born in 1964.

I was 36 when I had my first child. He is now 18. I am now 54.

When I was 18, my mother was 48. So I'm not that much older than my mom was.

What I find really interesting is my grandmother was also an older first time mother. My grandmother was born in 1900. She had her first child, my mom, in 1934 when she was 34 years old. So when my mother was 18, her mother was 52 years old.
