Non-clicky Poll: How old were your parents when you were born?

Today is my dad's birthday.  He's turning 50.  Everyone I work with is shocked at this (most of my coworkers are older than dad).  My sister and I are 28.  I have young parents, what can I say?  (mom is 55).

To make this an easier comparison, how old were your parents when you were born?

My dad was 21, mom was 26.  Twin and I are the only children.

Re: Non-clicky Poll: How old were your parents when you were born?

  • Ummm I am guessing here.

    Mom was 26

    Dad was 37 or maybe actually about to be

    yup a lil' difference there

  • My mom was 21 when she has me (she just turned 56 last month)
    My dad turned 24 the day after I was born (he's turning 59 this fall).

    Most people believe that my mom has 2 kids that are 29 but are usually shocked when she says she has a 34 year old daughter.  No-one thinks she's old enough to have me and not have had me while in high school.  My mom likes to tell people she was 12 when she had me.

    My mom was 29 and my dad was 30 when they had me. They tried for years, and got pregnant with my brother...then 16 months later, they had me. My parents call me the white wine baby, because I wasn't planned. Stick out tongue
  • My mom was 26 and my dad was 27. 

    My plan was to have a baby while I was 27....not gonna happen :(

    My mom was 23 when she got married and I was 23 when I got married.  She was 25 when she had me, so I was hoping to be 25 when I had my first too.  It was a sad day when I turned 26 and wasn't even pregnant yet.  If this IVF works, my due date should be right around my 27th birthday.

  • Both of my parents were 36 (I'm 30) They were 30 when they had my sister and 22 when they got married in 1966. For that time period, I think it's weird they waited that long which makes me wonder if they had trouble.

  • My mom was about to turn 31 and my dad had just turned 33 when I was born-I'm an only child so just me, though my mom had a miscarriage before me.  It makes me feel better about the fact that DH and I will be in our 30s when we have kids.  But I guess my parents are on the older spectrum compared to some of you ladies.  
  • probably the least planned baby here! my mom was 18 and my dad was 21. im 31 in july.
