When you have children, will you be older or younger than your parents when they had you?

    My parents were 30/36 when they had me. DH's parents were 31/29 when they had him. We are TTC in the next couple of months, so hopefully we will be around 22-24 when we have a baby.

    My parents weren't even married until my mom was 26 and my dad was 32. However, DH's parents got married when his mom was 22 and his dad was 19, but they didn't have him for almost 10 years afterward.

    My husband and I are significantly older than my parents were when they had their first child. They had my brother at 25 and 27. Hubs and I will be 34 and 38 when our first is born. Yikes. Thinking about that really makes me feel old. If our kids wait as long as we did to have kids, we'll be in our 70's when grandkids are born.

    My parents were both 27 when they had their first. And were both 30 when they had me.
    Hopefully I'll be younger than when they had me, but we'll see!

    We are definitely older than when our parents had us!

    My mom was 24 and my dad 25 when they had me...and my mom has always told me to do as much as I can (travel, take up hobbies, etc) before having kids!

    My husband's parents were both 25 when they had him.

    I was 29 when I had Claire, and my husband was 32.

    Older for sure. My mom was 21 and my dad was 23 when I was born, similar ages for my husband's parents. We are both the oldest in our families, if that makes a difference.

    We're both well into our 30's now.

    I think about this a lot actually. My parents we're 23/27 when they had me, but they also married when my mom was 18! My husband's parents were in their 30s (I was a first child, he was a last child). Hopefully my husband and I will be 24-25 when we have our first baby.

    My mom was 28 (dad 30) when she was pregnant with me and 30 (dad 32) with my brother.

    MIL was 20 when they had DH, while FIL was 30.

    I am 28 and DH is 30 so if we get pregnant in the next 10 months, we'll be the same age as my parents and FIL... here's to hoping!

    Older, but not as old as I thought. My mom was 26 and dad was 29 when they had me. I'll be 30 and my husband will be 29.

    Will be older but not by much when we have kids vs. when my parents had my brother.
    We are already older than when DH parents had him, and will probably be around the same age his parents were when they had the triplets.
