How Old were your parents when you were born?

My mother was 21 when she gave birth to me. My father was 32. I was the youngest of 6 children and the only child that my father went to the hospital to see be born. My father has a fear of hospitals and he never could stand to go to be there when his children were born. The only reason he went when I was being born was because my mother was having a hard time delivering me. It's odd, but my father's name isn't listed on my birth certificate either. The nurse or whoever did my birth certificate messed up a lot on it. They typed when it was supposed to be signed, signed when it was supposed to be typed and the neglected to put my father's name on it.

when i was born my mamma was 18 and my daddy was 23. they got married before i was born and have been married for 25 years now.

I am not really sure how old they got me but what I know is my mom had me when she was already 50+ . I am the youngest in a brood of 9 and they call me a menopause baby. I'm 35 now and my mom is 80 and my dad is 82. I had my 1st daughter at the age of 18 and got married at 18 as well. I had my son when I was 19, 3rd baby boy when I was 24, my 4th baby boy when I was 27 and my youngest daughter at 30. I don't know beyond my mom how old she was born though this is all that I know.

Mylot just ate the response I was typing! My parents were born in 43 and 45 so they were 31 and 29 when I was born in 74. I was adopted, so I figure the fact they were older has to do with them trying without success to have a baby for awhile. They didn't get married until they both graduated from college and then my dad immediately left for the army. My husband's mom was pretty young, I think she was 19. I wasn't, I was 28 when my daughter was born. I do know that my mom was the youngest of 8 kids, my dad was the older of two, and my grandma (dad's mom) was the youngest of 13. Conversely, my best friend from high school had her first son when she was 19, and my best friend now had her first son also when she was 20. I think that several generations ago it was common to get married and have kids at 16, 17, etc, my parents' generation it was more like 20, 21, my generation I am the oddity, it was still around 20ish. The next generation I see a move toward a lot of people waiting to get married or just spend some years together without kids - a lot of them are going to school or establishing a career, maybe both, then having kids in their late 20s or early 30s. BTW, I say I am an oddity because I did not purposely choose to wait till I was older. I would have been just fine with having kids at 18 or 19 but I did not have good husband material back then lol.

My mom and dad were aboout 25 when they had me. My dad was stationed in Bremerton, Washington with the navy so I was born in a naval hospital. My mom only had one child and I read a letter one time that she had sent to my grandmother stating she wanted a boy and she was going to name him, Paul.

My parents were really young when i was born or should i say my mother was really young when i was born. When i was born my mother was 17 years of age and my father was 29. That was pretty unusual then but now its really common.

my mom was 21 when she had me, but 20 when she had my oldest sister. i had my oldest at 17.

My mom was 22 and my dad was 25 when they had me (am the first born). But I don't think we have that chronoloogical orders like you had w/ your folks and family. My siblings and me got married at various ages. Both my brothers got married in their teen years; when they were 19 and I got married quite late; at 40. Both my parents's sides got married at apparently early ages from 18-22.

My mother was 19 and so was my Dad. When I researched the family tree, I found out how old my great grandfather was when my grandmother was born-52!! Talk about starting a family late-wow...

well..this is a nice question..it makes me confident to ask my parents with the age matter..well my mother was just 25 that time and on the right age...My father is also 25 of age..they both the same age...and i would also want to share some love stories with my parents later on my next post.

Hi friend, when i born my mom was 18 yearsand my dad was 27 years.In 19 years age i got married and my first baby was in my 20years and the second one was 21 years age.now they were grow up and i am very happy.

my father is 35 while my mother is 18yo..hehe

my dad was 29 and my mom was 26 at that time.

my daddy was 27 and mon was 23 year old

I guess mom was 28 yrs old and dad was 33 yrs old when i was born. I am the second child and the youngest in family. My elder brother was born when mom was 23 yrs old

my mom was 23 and my dad was 26 when i was born. i am their second child. they had their first two years before me. pretty young by todays standards i guess. but i think we have more energy and zest for life when we have our kids younger and i say that because my first and only was born one month before i turned 40 and it was and is exhausting raising a young child at my age.

My mother is from the 1940s but she got married when she was 25 and had her last baby (me) when she was 38.

My mom had me when she was 26 and my dad was 28 then. My grandma had my mom when she was 15 years old! reason behind was because its an arrange marriage because my great grandpa sold my 14yearold grandma to my grandpa (a Spaniard) because my grandpa was the richest man in town way back then and he is so obsessed with her...

i was born when my mother was 21 years old, my father was on his 27 years old. but i am the second child on our family and my old sister was born at my mother's 19 years old...aha...my father is 6 years older than my mother. they married at the end of the 1970's and then my sister come out...it's really funny...may god bless my parents and siblings.

my mom was only 20 when she gave birth to me at that time they used to get married soon but my father is of 34 years when was born
