We were 35 and 37 when we had our kids. While they are now 18 and going on 17 I don't feel old, unrelatable or that in any way, shape or form we've given them less than a proper and enjoyable upbringing. Although my parents were 24 when they had my brother they were 32 when they had my sister and both are still kicking actively at 83.
Of my 8 grandparents only 1 didn't see 90, 4 made it to 95 and 2 reached 100.
Strangely enough the only divorce for immediate family members (grandparents, parents, their brothers and sisters, their kids and my siblings) was my brother's wife had 1 previous marriage. My dad's parents were married 55 years until a death (the only grandparent that didn't reach 90), my mother's parents were married for 70 years until a death, my parents have been married since 1962, my mother's sister was married 56 years until her husband passed, my dad's sister for 50+ until her husband died relatively younger, my dad's brother for 60+ until his death, my brother has now been married for 27 years and I'll be 24 in August. My sister is the baby and has been married 10 years.
