I thought this kind of shit only happened in America, hahahahaha!

If I were so irresponsible as my parents were, they'd be legit grandparents at 34.

As the saying goes: The irresponsible fruit doesn't fall far from the recklessly stupid tree .

The first lady had her daughter at 15 and was surprised when her daughter had one at 17...REALLY. I wonder where she learned that from?

My parents had me when they were 15.

I'm 21 and child free

Though my sister is 17 and pregnant...

It just goes to show how the social norms have changed over the years. Being a grandmother in one's late thirties was quite normal...when the average age of a bride was anywhere from 12 to 15 years. An unwed woman without children in her thirties was a rarity. One really was considered an old maid. And it was quite normal to have popped out in excess of five children by one's twenties, too. But then, most children didn't live to adulthood and were expected to help support the family in farming or herding.

I don't see anything wrong with what these women have done as long as their children are healthy, well-supported emotionally, educationally, and financially. It certainly seems they are all loved.

The last one being a step grams at 26 doesn't really count in my book since her step son is 21....

All I really noticed from that article is how scary large their foreheads are. Maybe it's a good thing the baby was born prematurely; a head that big would HURT!

I'm not sure if this applies to this topic or not but I became a step-grandma 1 year after I had my first child. My husband's oldest daughter got pregnant at 18 and had a baby girl just a few weeks pass my baby's first birthday. I jokingly told my husband I guess this makes us white trash having a grandchild just 1 year younger then your youngest child. LOL And yes I was in my 30's when this happen. But I did not think it was anything to do an interview about.

Personally I don't think a 15 or 16 year old having a baby is something to brag about. But that is just my opinion. And I am a bit old fashion I know.

If you were really old-fashioned then you'd be totally down with it, since it used to be really common to get married and have kids at an incredibly young age, haha!

But yes...the mass of "youngsters" getting knocked up is a bit worrisome (and aggravating).

Is it bad that this seriously disturbs me.

A girl I went to school with recently became a Grandma. She's 31 ... which is good for her because it is my understanding that the child's mother ran off and left him with her to raise.

Wow... the last time I was a grandma was a total surprise... luckily for me I bought that cream, and now I can live with it.
