My parents were aged 38 and 39 when I was born. I'm not sure how that affected me, really.

The majority of people have kids in their thirties. Now though a lot of people have kids in late forties and even fifties. @33person

@33person How old were they when you were 18/19?

33person · 26-30, M

@celine211 Well, 38 + 18 = 56, so they were 56 and 57 when I was 18 and 57 and 58 when I was 19. Now, my dad is dead (he was an alcoholic and died of cirrhosis of the liver at age 59) and my mom is 62 and healthy.

@celine211 I see. I'll have recently turned 26 on my mom's 66th birthday.
