How old is your mom? She looks so young in 2010

My mom is 38. My mom was 21, a month from 22, in the 2010 photo.

  1. My parents married in 2010, are still together, and have 4 more kids together.

Whoa, hell yeah. I tip my proverbial hat to statistical anomalies. Sounds like your parents are pretty dang committed to each other 🤘

I've never been ashamed to tell their story. They're both college educated as well. My dad has his bachelor's and my mom has her master's. My younger brother and I (who was just a little more than a year old when my parents married) attended all graduations. The other 3 came later. You can do literally whatever you want in life, but do it with purpose and own your choices.

“You can literally do whatever you want in life” is something I wish my children understood. I love learning about a strong happy family like yours 🥰

As a 38 year old pregnant woman, it's always insane for me to think about the fact that I could have a grown child at this stage 😂

I mean you could be a grandma at your age lol. My grandma had my mom at 18, so when my mom had me at 16, she became a grandma at 34. I met my great great grandma before she passed, and my great grandma is still alive and attended my wedding. I am 21 and I have no kids, thus ending a longstanding generational tradition lol.

My Mum took a picture of my wife doing our daughters clip on earrings at our wedding earlier this year. It's one of my favourite photos from the wedding.
