My parents are in their early 70s, I’m in my early 30s, no children, all grandparents died before I was 8 years old. Have no idea what my great grandparents were even named

I have the same age difference with my parents, but somehow my great grand mother managed to survive until I was around 11 when she slipped off the toilet and broke her hip.

Man I didn’t realize it then how cool it was to be able to talk to my great grandma

I feel old because my grandparents are almost the same age as their great grandparents, and I’m actually not that old either.

If three generations in a row have their first kid by 25, then someone's a great grandparent by 75. Could be there at 60 if everyone has kids at 20, which is earlier than average, but hardly crazy.

Same, my grandparents are in their early-mid eighties and they only just became great granparents. My last great grandparent passed at 95 and that was a decade ago.
