Parents

How old will you be when your youngest turns 20 ?

How do you feel about that ?

When my youngest turns 20, I will be 39. I feel pretty good about that. Not that I'm promoting jumping into parenthood too early or anything (early being completely dependent upon the individual), but I do like the idea that I will probably be a younger grandparent should my daughter have children; and that assumes she has them at the average age which I imagine is somewhere in the mid to late 20's.

Edit: My youngest is my only, btw.

When my son turns 20, I will be 47.

I'm happy about that, but it's scary as hell imagining him all grown up shake

I'll be 48: Not so old that I can't have enjoyed a physically active life through her youth; not so young that I won't have outgrown much of my own youthful naivete at a disservice to her.

I want to adopt one more daughter, though, so I think I better get around to that soon if this would be of much benefit to her.

...All God willing, of course. And this isn't to say those who've had kids at a different age will necessarily falter one way or the other.

When my youngest turned 20 I was 42... We started our family fairly young and we are very happy about that because we are still pretty young. I didnt start running half marathons until I turned 40 so I feel pretty good about myself and where I am at in this phase of my life.. I made my mom a grandma at 39!

52.

Never really thought about it. But seems fine to me.

I've reached in darkness and come out with treasure
I layed down with love and I woke up with lies
Whats it all worth only the heart can measure
It's not whats in the mirror but what's left inside

45 but I already have two in their twenties. I would have completed both of my degrees by then so I will feel fabulous.
