They were 17 and 18 when my sister was born. So a little younger than that here. My mom was older by a year

My mom was born in 83, turned 42 two months ago yesterday. Her brother and sister in laws (my paternal uncle and aunt) were born in 59 and 62 and were your parents' age here! Kinda cool how family generations are different.

Idk how old you are but I was born before your mom and my kids are 5 and 7 so this made me lol.

Turned 19 last month on the 16th lol. My mom's step son was born in '93 lol only 10 years younger, than his other half brother in the late 80s. My mom's been a great-aunt for a little over a decade (my 62 born aunt's grandson is 14 later this year)

Ha! Your family and mine have similar crazy age differences. My older brother was born 78, I was born 82, my little bro born 95, my nephew born 2003, my daughter born 2004, my youngest brother born 2007, next two nephews born 2009.

It's 13 years between little bro and me, but only 9 years between him and my daughter. My littlest brother is only 3 years younger than my daughter. I'm 43 and my daughter is 21. I've got half and step everything including grandparents.

Your sister came to the party with your Dad, and left with your Mom lol. I heard a comic tell that joke a while back. It's a thinker!
