congratulations jackie, enjoy your children, enjoy your life to the full, thats what life is all about. bryan.

I saw your post on Colins thread Jackie but didn't give your age a second thought. I know a few around here that have grandchildren well before they are 40. Only the other week a friend of my nieces had a baby with her I said ah!! you had another baby no she said it is my Granddaughter. The only thing that bothered me was it made me feel very old lol. When I think she used to come round here from school. She laughed. You enjoy your lovely family. Germaine x

Hi Jackie as long as you are proud of your family thats all that matters hazelx

hugs for jackie dawn xx

Hi Jackie my friend hope you are ok. You know what the old saying says, Words can never hurt, and that's true if you don't let them. You carry on enjoying life love and try and forget those people who criticise. They probably don't understand anything about you anyway. Love ya babe Lots of huggles from an owd Wigginer. Jeff xxxx

good for you girl dawnxx

I am very proud of them Ann, they make my life complete. When Cheryl first had Trinity people who didn't know us didn't know who the babies mum was and I had to keep saying that I was the babies nan, you should of seen the looks on their faces.lol Jackiexx

I didn't see your extra comment jackie so didn't take any notice of your age etc. I married at 20 and had my first at 21, now it is lovely because there only seems a very small gap between my daughter and I, I know it is 20 years but her husband is 10 years older than her so the gap contracts and we all get on fine. you should not feel you have to make excuses, just be proud of your family.

Clare when I had my youngest who is 6 i felt like a geriatric mother, it was not so tiring when I had my first. Jackiexx

Jackie I was in my mid twenties when i had my first child and i was told at the hospital that i was a geriatric mother.

Jackie, I married at 18 and had my son at 19. People usually say I look too young to have a 21 year old, I usually say 'well I am only 36'. Not sure why but it usually kills that conversation;))lol I loved being a young mum and I'm still young enough to enjoy any grandchildren they might give me (fingers crossed). Fiona.x

No you don't Jackie!!! your proud of your family!! Helenxx

Thanks Helen and Janet, I am so proud of my family but have been really hurt by peoples comments in the past thats why I put the extra comment on. I have deleted the extra comment now as I can see I don't need to explain or defend myself about this on here. Jackiexx

Jackie its quite the norm in my family except i was a bit older than my mum grandmother etc., but it means that i knew my gtgtgrandparents and my children know knew their gt grandparents.

Hi Jackie I read the thread about everyone but never noticed about your age etc. why should I? I don't judge anyone who I don't know. Along the line there is always someone ready to cast a stone, pick it up and throw it back is what I say. Love and best wishes to you and your family Janetx

Hi Jackie!! i became a granny 2 weeks short of my 37th birthday!! i think it's fantastic!! my eldest grandaughter Justine is 18 on Sunday!! I married at 18, had my 1st baby at 19!! never regretted it!! So well done You!! Love Helenxx

I would like to say thankyou to all the lovely people who has sent me pms about my post on Colins Introduce yourself thread. Thankyou all you have restored my faith in human kindness and made me realise that not all people judge you for becoming a mum at a young age. You have really touched me. Jackiexx
