Becoming a grandmother

I don't know if that's the norm or not, but that seems pretty young to be a grandmother to me...

First of all, congratulations! Yes, I think even a 40 year old grandmother seems very young to me. I'm 43 and my oldest child just turned 19 last week, while my youngest child is 5 years old. I guess it depends on when you had your children and when they had their children. I feel like I'm too young to be a grandmother and I am older than you. Well, anyways enjoy your new grandchild. I look forward to being a grandmother one day, but I am not really rushing it. I want my son to graduate college first and get a good job, get married, settle in a little before having children. Have a nice day and happy myLotting!!!

Congrats on becoming a gramma. I became a gramma at 41. I was 19 when I had my daughter and she was 21 when she had hers. My grand daughter is now 2 years old. Of course how old you are when you become a grandparent depends partly on how old you were when you had your kids, then how old they are when they have theirs. You were most likely a rather young mother thus increasing your chances of becoming a young gramma. It is really wonderful being gramma, I even have a toddler of my own so my son is just 2 years older than his own niece.

It is lovely that you will soon become a grandma. Around Christmas day will be a superb day for your grand child to be born. These days some ladies have their first baby when they are aged 18 to 23. Then if that child is a daughter and she has her first baby when she is aged 18 to 23 then the lady will become a grandma aged 38 to 45. She will feel very young to be a grandma. My mum didn't have my sister and myself until she was in her thirties. She had to wait until I was 22 years old before she become a grandpa. She likes to be called nanny. I hope that you really enjoy becoming a grandpa.

congratulations and happy mother's day to you. i do think that 40 is a little bit young to be a grandma, i guess i'm really traditional even if i am quite young. however being a grandma at a younger age does have its perks. i think you can be with your grandchild more, right? i mean, like, you could play with the kid and not get tired easily as most old people do, right? and you can spend more time with him or her being a cool, young grandma; you can take him or her out or something like that. :)

Firstly let me say a big 'CONGRATULATIONS' !! I have nine grandchildren and another due in September and each one bring their own special love. I would say that 40 is around average these days to be a grandmother, I was actually 45 - but the thing with me was that two of my daughters were pregnant at the same time as me!! My son is only 11 weeks older than his niece and 13 weeks older than his nephew!! I was a mum at 21 so I could have been a nana by the time I was 40 too. Do enjoy the experience I'm sure you will. Good luck to you and your family

40 is a young grandmother! For sure! My mom is 49 and would KILL me and/or my sister if we had ever gotten pregnant..She thinks 50 is too young to be a grandma! And I almost agree. My own grandma's were in their 70's when I was born - and one was deceased (at 80). Hmm. But congratulations. "Grandma" doesn't always equivocate "old". You can be a hip, young grandma!
