So my Grand Daughter was born in august 2011, and my daughter was born in october 2011. It has made for some conversations, and some weird looks from people as well, but whatever I don't care I love them both. Grand Daughter is in the bug costume, my daughter is the other cute baby.

Thats a little odd lol but, My step brother is 7 my half sister is 4 and my other half sister on my moms side is 3 i am 18 so if i have a kid when i am 20 my dad will have a 6 yr old daughter and a baby grandchild. I am not planing on having kids yet or anythings its just a theoretical thing.

It's not odd at all it is more common then you might think. It was not planned or anything it just happened this way, me and my daughter were pregnant at the same time. That part was a little funny.

Yeah, i actully think that prolly comforted your daughter. Was it her 1st child? I think if it was it would help her to know someone going through it at the same time.

It was her first child. She was not at all prepared and she struggled a lot, and still is struggling. I think it will help her greatly to be on her own and learn she can't count on me to help her all the time. She needs to learn to do it herself.

That doesn't seem to odd at least not to my family. My husbands Uncle and aunt are 10 year old then us and they had there son November 2010 and we had our daughter January 2011. They are 3 months a part and my daughter is my husband cousins second cousin. Now they just had there first second child first daughter April 2012, my husband's sister had her first baby a boy May 2012 they are only 3 weeks a part. My second baby which is a boy as well is suppose to be September 2012 but it could be as soon as August 2012. This is extremely common in my husband and my side of the family as well.

Maybe where you live in the world its common here its not common at all. It is nice having family weather its siblings, cousins, aunts or uncles close to the same age as you. it always gives you someone that will understand what your going throw or playing with depending on how close your family is and if you all live in the same area.
Most all of us that are the same age as each other call our kids just cousin we don't even try to finger who's cousin is who's and by what line. Since my daughter meet my husband cousin I've always told her that he is your big cousin, and how she is big cousin of 2 of her cousin. Even though they are different family generations they are born in the same generation. Anyone that is really older then you they are your aunts and uncles.

Where I live in the world? I live in the us. This is common throughout the us, and even more common elsewhere in the world. There are a lot of worse things in the world. SO I do not know what you are talking about. There is nothing wrong with that. Looks like the way you do things is backwards. You don't get to decide who's what based on age. They are what they are weather you like it or not.

This is common in a lot of people. I don't see the big deal, more family to love. Who cares if they are the same age or what ever. It isn't about age, it's about family.

I think that this is a very unusual situation to be in, but if you started having your children young then it stands to reason that this situation might occur at some point. I do also think that it might be great to be able to have your children growing up together, as they will be able to be close even though your Mother's child is the Aunt of your daughter which is a little bit strange. But you could work together and this might mean that your relationship is made stronger, which can only be a good thing.

MY child is the aunt of my daughters child. This is not an unusual situation, I have no idea where you are from, but this thing happens a lot these days, and who cares if it was. There is nothing wrong with any of it.

I know a couple of people in my area who have done the same thing. It's alright. It happens more than you think. People look at things as taboo when they really aren't. My mom had me when she was 38 years old, and I know plenty of people who are grandmothers before 40.

Nothing taboo about it. It's not like it's insest or anything. They are close together in age and I am older woman, doesn't really matter. They are two healthy babies, and they are beautiful, and I am lucky to have them in my life.

Well thank you for agreeing, and I know that there are a lot of people who are grandparents before they are 40, I was only 41 when I became a grandparent. My husband was 23, although he is only a step grand parent.

I agree, thank you. I don't know why there is so many judgmental people out there saying its strange and weird. I don't get their point at all.

Hi friend, good to hear this news. Congrats for you. Hope the two babies are fine. So your daughter is younger than your grand daughter, it is really crazy. As you mentioned you don't care about others words, so there is no worry about it
