How old do you want to be when you become a grandparent?

Too late, it already happened! I have a Granddaughter! Like you have a choice. Actually I am plenty old to be a Grandmother. My first born waited until she was over thirty to have a child and her sister was 25 at the time. Her sister does not have any children or a husband or a boyfriend even right now. She is going for her law degree so she is busy.

i am a grandparent at the age of 32, feel older than i am so i guess that helps. being a grandparent at this age is great, because you can still do things that you otherwise couldnt when you are older, no disrespect to the older grandparents on mylot. i feel great being a grandparent, i love babies they make me laugh and also having the responsibilty of talking to them. maybe the dissadvantage of being a grandparent at this age is life experience, but i think i have lived quite an unusually stressed life and have learned from my experiences. you can talk to them and hopefully have the respect from them in you giving them advice.

I am a young 46 yr. old Gramma, I have 10 grandchildren and the 11th any day now. I love being a gramma, I have been a gramma since I was in my 20's. I have an older step daugher, but since I have been around her for years, I don't consider her a step kid. Her kids are mine, we might not share blood, but I am their gramma, I am more their gramma then her mom. My son has 3 boys and a girl on the way. Its so much fun being a gramma. You don't want to wait until you are old, enjoy them when you are young. My grandson says I am not old, he has friends that have moms older then me. I love hearing the word gramma. Some like to be called Nana, they think being gramma makes them old. I am gramma, and proud of it.

I wouldn't care what age I would be when I become a grandparent. But I had my older son when I was 24 and hopefully the latest I will be a grandmother is my late 40's (unless he decides to have one when he is in his teens!). But my mother was in her 40's when she first became a grandmother...and that's only because she had me early and I didn't have my first child late. In fact my dad was in his early 50's when he became a granddad. And I don't think it makes you feel old. It's all in the mind. I find that my parents (who are comparitively young grandparents) have much more fun than us and people are surprised when they know that my parents are grandparents of 2 kids and one on the way! As long as I am fit and healthy, I'd love to have kids around me when I can enjoy them and play an active role in their lives.

I would like to be 80

I'm still young, but I always think to my future,and I guess to be married at about 30-35 Y.O., and I would like to be a grandparents since my late 60's...But this is just a dream, 'cause first of all life is always surprisingly different from what we plan, and then we should consider that, in our wealthy society and with the increasing life expectancy anyone could be fully healthy (and a perfect grandparent) even at 80 Y.O.....

I would like my son to at least be 21, I would be 41 at that point. I would like him to have kids if he is settled down and have a good job. That way the grandkids have young grandparents to play with.

i wud like to b 55 when i become a grand parent.not to frail and right to grannyi really want to active enough to play with my grandkids and but i don't want to be dependent on my kids.my grandkids shud be proud of me not pity me.

I'd like to be at least 43 I think, because that would make my son 18. I really don't want to have to deal with my son having a kid when he's still younger than that, though if it happens, then it happens. Other than that, I don't guess I really care. I don't think it would make me feel any older than I already feel to be a grandparent. My outlook on life is kind of weird I guess, but I like getting older because it means I'm beating all the predictions for when I was supposed to die. So feeling old doesn't bother me at all. :)

Good question! In 6 yrs my oldest son will be 25 and I will be 50. I would be mortified if I were a grandmother before while still in my 40's. I think that 25 is still young to start a family these days. It seems that the young adults are waiting a little longer. I always tell my son to get his career settled before looking for someone to marry and settle down with.

I'm fixing to be one in Feb. (that's another story), and yes I feel too young to be a grandma! but when I do the math, it's not much difference then when my mom became a grandmother. I could have waited a few more years though.

I would want to be around 45-50.Only then could those glorius young ones get a rel young grandparetn to play with.Even though I am too young to think of it and my mom's not even a grandmom.But my grandmother got that status when se was about 50 or so.Now she is 77.So there is nothing called as old.It is only in age that you grow old,in mind you can stay younger.

55

LOL,i dont know how interesting when i am be someone's grandma,,LOL...but i know you r a good grandma.
