Starting young has enabled you to be there for so many of your family. I was 27 and labeled āelderly primagravidaāhaving my (only) child, and then and his wife were 35&38 when they had their family, so our generations go in closer to 30 year jumps, not 20. So Iām unlikely to be around for a great-grandchild, particularly if the age of childbearing continues to be late 30s. We have loved being a part of the little onesā ives and Iāve noticed that younger grandparents are still working so not able to be nearly as involved. I guess there are pluses and minuses to both.
