I always thought of my parents as old. My mom was 27 when she had me. I'm 27 right now with a 6 month old. Now I see, she wasn't old at all!

Young when they had me (dad was 20, mum was 22) but then they spaced their kids out over the next 11 years. My mum was 33 when my youngest sister was born and I thought that was disgusting, ha ha. I was 32 when I had my first so I'm eating my words now!

Mine were youngsters ...24 when I was born, 21 for my brother! I
Liked it growing up, but not gonna lie -- part of me wishes they were retired now like everyone else's parents seem to be ... I'd get to see them more with LO.

My parents had me at 33/34 and my sisters at 39/40. Even though they were 'older,' I never thought of them as old! They always have looked about 10 yrs younger than their age, so that probably helps lol. I think my mom is pretty shocked I got pregnant at 25 though!

I thought my dad was old! He was 35 when I was born, so by the time I was 5 and had any awareness of age and how big numbers were, he was 40! Which I knew was much older than my friends' parents. It makes me sad to think DH will be that old or possibly older...

I don't really remember thinking either. They were 32 and 33 when I was born, I think. I just thought they were normal ages.

My mom was 25 and dad was 33. They seemed young I think. And now that I'm 25 and my mom is 50 she seems really young!

my parents were very young when they were married--21 and 22--but then they waited 10 years to have kids, and were 34 and 36 when I was born, so I always thought they were older parents. now they don't seem old though, dh's dad is 8 years older than my dad and he seems much older!

I thought they were young! My mom turned 20 a couple weeks before I was born. By the time she was my age she had all three of her kids.

I thought my parents were pretty young! They were 24 and 26 when I was born.

My mom was 24 and my dad 25 when they had me. I always thought of them as average until I was in middle or high school when I realized they were a little on the younger side for the community we lived in at the time.

definitely young. I remember my dad's 30th birthday party... I think i was 6. My mom is a year younger than him. I am pretty sure they were 23/24 when I was born.

I thought they were so old at the time, but they really were teenagers when they had me! I'm more tha twice the age my mom was when she had me.

When I was born, my mom was 28 and my dad was 30. I always thought they were old when I was growing up--I must have had friends with younger parents.

When I was born my mom was 29 and dad was 30. I thought they were oldish too! I had my first LO at 28, but i'm playing catch up by having the second at just over 30 dh was only 26 when LO was born, so he'll always be a youngish dad! yay

I thought they old because they WERE. Mom was 42 & dad was 39.

My parents were 21 and 23 when they had me, but I still thought they were SOOO old up until probably highschool. Now I realize how young they were since we're 29 and 33 with our first.

Other people keep asking me if my mom's going to baby sit while I work, and I'm always like... well, she's only 50, so she still has her own job, and people are surprised. DH's parents are in their mid 60's and they seem so much older than mine. That 7-10 years difference is really obvious at that age it seems.
