I'm so utterly confused by the question and the replies to you. Really? Having grandparents that are/would be in their 90's means you're unfathomably old now?

Think about it. The lady in this photo was likely born in the 20's. Her children would be baby boomers or even older Gen X if she had children a little later in life and was very young here.

So it makes total sense that her grandchildren could easily be millenials. While the oldest millenial is probably super old now to the kind of person who would ask this question, but seems crazy to be blown away by someone that could be aged 30, could be aged 50 if the generations were shorter. But that's the age of most grandparents of the people I know that are 30 something. I know someone who is 20 whose grandparent was born 1927 and going strong. You must be very young I think, or people have children early in your area.

That’s their grandmother who would be 75/76now - so guessing 20-30ish depending when their mother was born/they were born.

Edit: oops I did a mistake going by birth year instead of wedding year.

No, a 75-year-old person would have been born around 1946, not married in 1946. For easy math let’s assume Grandmother was 20 when she married. That would make her 95 or 96 now. (Which is about the age my late mother would be now, and she also married in the post-WWII years. That’s why I picked up on the discrepancy.)

Or in their 50s or?

50s/70s/90s

I wouldn’t say 50s is old as hell.

Are you like 15?

Ha you wait. 25 to 50 goes by awfully fast and at 50 you still feel like that 25 year old in many ways
