Sad that someone my age is a grandmother.

Well, ok, I guess they can start being one. But only the start.

Otherwise, clearly using such terms is meant to draw sympathy.

Good on her for protecting her actual turf.

Why is it sad?

Have a kid in your early twenties and they have a kid in their early twenties, presto, you are a grandparent and you have not even hit 50.

And that is a good age to have them because you still have a bit of energy left enjoy them.

I knew a guy who was a grandfather at THIRTY THREE! He knocked up a girl at sixteen, and their daughter got herself in a bit of a pickle at sixteen as well.

I applaud this woman’s chutzpah!

I’ll very likely be a grandmother by the time I’m 53. Doesn’t seem sad to me at all the prospect of enjoying my grandchildren at a young age.

My mother was a grandmother much younger than that! Married at 18, had five children in six years. Eldest daughter married at 22, had my eldest nephew at 23. My mother was a grandmother at 43, and many times over at 53.
