shouted out to Marlena at the Mall with, "Hey, Grandma!" Her response looked like extreme genuine surprise that he would use the word "grandma" in reference to her. I’m wondering if Dee dislikes having to admit she is of an age that she could be a grandma. I know the character never liked being referred to as what she actually is…grandma. Anyone remember if the reason was ever verbally stated on the show during any storyline conversations?
LOL. I missed that part, but I saw where he laughed when marlena told him carrie and Austin wanted her to come over and cook. And I can see how she wouldnt liked to be called grandma, she barely looks like one! Kate on the other hand I don’t think she minds too much being a grandma. Of course shell never win grandma or mother of the year!
Bot I must not have been paying attention to much cause I have no idea what You guys are talking about madisons dress. She seems to like those blouses with the flowing sleeves they look good on her but she’s got a lot. I really liked kates hair the other day, it was really curly but smooth if that makes sense. I hate it when she has it going every which way, like she just rolled out of bed.
to be a grandmother. The thing I find hard to believe is that Allison has an 18 year old son. I know Sami supposedly had Will when she was 17 but … The weirder thing was Marlena having Belle when she did. As Marlena, the twins were born well after Marlena had gone through college, medical school, internship, residency, followed by several years as a practicing psychiatrist which would have made the character at least in her 30s when she had the twins!
37 or 38 going on five (given her recent normal Sami moments yet again). My Mother had my younger brother when she was 42 (which was unusual back in 1969), but now all the actresses are doing the older Mom thing it seems.
Not to mention she was pregnant again a few years ago and lost the baby. That was when that Dr. played by Wayne Northrop was in town.
Dee was just 64 on October 31st and Ali was 35 in September. That would make the characters pretty close to being accurate.
That was also in 1969. I was definitely an accident as my 5 older siblings were all born when my mom was between 21 and 35. I always felt like I had a "grandma" for a mom. I really hated that. I had my two kids when I was 18 and 21 (which is young, I know). I’m 42 now and can’t even imagine having a baby at my age. It makes me exhausted just thinking about it!
My mom got married at 15 (1936), had my brother 2 years later when she was 17 (1938). I was born in 1957 when my mom was 37 and my brother was 19. I always felt that my parents were my grandparents and my brother was my dad. My friends and our neighbors thought that also. Maybe I wouldn’t have felt that way if my brother wasn’t so much older.
When Don and I got married I was 46 and would have welcomed a baby but it didn’t happen. Now I’m 53 and hadn’t hit menopause but just had a hysterectomy 2 months ago. I went though a depression before the hysterectomy because without hitting menopause there was still a chance I could have gotten pregnant and the surgery meant that chance was being taken away but I was also relieved that I wasn’t going to get pregnant in my 50’s.
I had my kids at 19 and 21. My siblings were 17, 16, and 10 years older than I but it never even dawned on my that my parents were so much older than the other kids’. It may be because they both looked much younger than they actually were.
But I can agree about having a baby when you’re in your 40s. OMG, I just can’t imagine having to keep up with a toddler. Although, I think you make a much better parent when you are older. I know I was a babe in the woods when I had my kids and didn’t have the slightest idea how to raise one. It was all trial and error…being heavier on the error side. Fortunately, they turned out really great anyway.
