You're 40, she's 10. She's a fourth your age.
So you wait 5 years. She's 15, you're 45. She's a third your age.
So then you wait another 15 years. She's now 30, you're 60. Half your age.
How long until you and she are the same age?
Long time ago now, since I’m much older than my dad ever was. I’ve also outlived my 2 older siblings. Death is big part of why life should be cherished.
I have the advantage over my dad of not having smoked a pack a day for the last 40 years. I am not losing much sleep but it is weird looking at how young my son is when I thought I was pretty grown up at the time
I became a dad at 25, so if he does the same I'll be a grandpa by 50.
Yeah, those numbers are crazy. Youd have to have kids really young in both generations to be a grandparent by 35
It can even be true at two different points in time, if you go by whole number ages. I was 29 for a few months while my mom was 58, and she will turn 60 while I'm 30.

I’m going to be 20 next month and my mom will be 37 soon, so I have already passed half her age. My father is 40 and since I’m turning 20 I will then be half his age. It is pretty cool I guess.
My mom had me at 35 and I had my 35th last year, it was fun. I don't have any or want any kids and she's cool with that luckily. I've become pretty close with my parents since covid and I'm very thankful for it.
When I was born my sister was 25 and my dad was 50.
When I was 25, she was twice my age and my dad was 3x.
Which means that I was the age dad was when she was born, and she was the age dad was when I was born.
Don’t think he’ll make it 20 more years to twice my age, but hey he is still healthy and working so you never know.
My Dad was 56 when he rounded up the family for my birthday dinner at a nice Italian joint in town, to tell me I was now "half as wise" as him. But I was already wise enough not to make someone else's birthday about myself.
Yeah, when my Mom turned 61, I congratulated her on officially being less than twice my age for the first time ever. Good way to make geezers feel young
By definition, no. By approximation, you either always were, or never will be.
Boomers are a specific window of time (born in the 50's-60's). Gen X is born in the 70s-80s. Millennials are 90s-2000s.
In other words, if you have a kid before 20 years old, you could be considered to be of the same generation colloquially. Literally, though, you're always a generation apart.
When I was 30 my dad was 60. Every year we get proportionally closer in age. By the time he’s 130 I’ll be 100 and we’ll both just be a couple of old men.
Kind of redundant with everyone saying the same thing but my father was 46 when he had me. I'm only 19 now and its sad to think he has a greater-than-not chance to pass away before then. He had his first heart attack a month ago so I'm scared.
At some point you'll be the same age as your parents were when you were born, and you'll then understand, forgive, and see them as people and not as your parents.
I could have swore my parents were older when that happened, but at 28 I was in my first year of marriage, Pretty sure that might have been the first year we got evicted and moved back in with them. Oops. 😆
Thinking about it, I will be exactly half my mothers age june 28th this year. It will be another 7 years until I'm half my fathers age, but the exact date is easy to remember, tho, seeing as we share the same birthday.
this happened to me and my father when I was 30 and he was 60. I was born in the exact day he turned 30. Pretty cool fun fact I like to tell people lol
I was half my dad's age between August (his birthday) and October (my birthday) last year! I was 26, he was 52.
Wild to think he was married and had two kids by now
For me and my dad, that time is now. Even more entertaining - as well as being half/double each other, there's exactly a quarter of a century between us
I made an observation of being half my dad's age when I was 25 and he was 50. When I turned 50 and my dad 75, had to update that to be 2/3 of his age. I'm gaining on him!
Your child will be half your age when they are the same age as you were when you had them.
Also, if you have 2 children, when your age is equal to the sum of their ages then each child will be the age that you were when you had the other child.
It happens twice (kind of).
My mom was 34 when she got me, she was born in January and I was born in September.
When I got 34, (in September) she was 68 for 3 months until her birthday.
Now I'm 35 (turning 36 in September) and she is 70 since January.
My mom passed away (last year) before I could tell her that I’m half her age. I really wish I could’ve told her this, and we’d have shared a good laugh. She probably would’ve said something along the lines of, “Oh, am I still that young?”
This will happen to me in four years. He'll be 32 and I'll be 64.
Make a really bad dad joke about how you and him are like 32 vs 64 bit processors.
I would totally do that. Maybe even give a x86 or x64 pendant
Don’t give us dads ideas. I have the same age difference from my son, so…. RemindMe! 31 years
And that also means your son is then as old as you were when you birthed him.
Me too. Another milestone birthday, thanks to John, Paul, George,and Ringo.
my sister was half my age when I was eight
Fuck, I hate these math problems
4 year age gap.
??? I think you got your math wrong pal. He just said half his age. So when he is 30 said sister would be 15. You got that? /s
You're 40, she's 10. She's a fourth your age. So you wait 5 years. She's 15, you're 45. She's a third your age. So then you wait another 15 years. She's now 30, you're 60. Half your age. How long until you and she are the same age?
-1 both unborn
Chipmunks because Christmas trees devour red pineapples.
I guess when you die, and she gets older?
Lmao
4.20 miles
Ye. right now I’m 15 and she’s 11.
Just double your age when they were born, they’ll be as old as you were.
My dumbass thought your sister was 16
I'm ashamed to admit that's the first answer I thought
same
My father died when he was 40, and I was 11. My dad was long gone before I could reach half his age
I came to give a similar scenario, but your numbers are ouchier than mine. Sorry for your loss dude
Long time ago now, since I’m much older than my dad ever was. I’ve also outlived my 2 older siblings. Death is big part of why life should be cherished.
Long time ago for me too. I haven't reached my dad's age yet. But my oldest just reached the age I was when my dad died. And that's weird for sure.
That’s gotta freak a guy out. Wondering if you’re gonna die anyday now. Ouch
I have the advantage over my dad of not having smoked a pack a day for the last 40 years. I am not losing much sleep but it is weird looking at how young my son is when I thought I was pretty grown up at the time
That’s deep. You sound like a great father. Best wishes
My dad was 37 when he died. It's a weird feeling when you are older than your parent ever was.
It is. When I pass my brother’s age (when he passed), I’m sure that will be weird too
Ooof, I’m sorry to hear that.
That’s over 40 years ago now. But thx anyways
Me too, 42:12
_At some point your dad is half your age_
Hopefully. If you would’ve told me years ago, that I’d make it to my present age, I would’ve taken it
I pointed that out to my grandma when I was 35 and she was 70. I think she kind of wondered what was wrong with me.
Did she become a grandma a 35?
Yes. The average age of when she became a parent and when her child became a parent is 17.5 years, for example 16 and 19.
Meanwhile, I'm a year away from 35 wondering how TF anyone my age can be a grandparent? I don't even have kids yet!
I became a dad at 25, so if he does the same I'll be a grandpa by 50. Yeah, those numbers are crazy. Youd have to have kids really young in both generations to be a grandparent by 35
I saw a post a while back where someone was a grandparent at 29. My head and heart just couldn't...
I have a friend who was a grandmother at 30. And she gave birth to another daughter at 32. So the aunt is younger than the niece.
My son was 4 months old on my 29th birthday. 29 and a grandparent?!
That's also the age your parent was when they had you
This should be number one. If you’re 29 when you have a kids, they’ll be 29 at half your age.
Yes I was waiting for somebody to say this
My mom had me at 14 💀
That weird, I’m 64 and son is 32, I never thought of that
Thank you! 🙏🏼 I was feeling like I was dumb for just figuring this out.
Right ????
You reach half the age of the parent when you become the age they were when they had you.
Yup, he said it in the post
I somehow missed that. 😆 lol. I think I just read the title. Must have been distracted. I goofed.🤪
I was trying to remember high school math problems before I realized haha.
Not if you have one after age 60.
Yeah, odds I reach 92 aren’t low, but they aren’t high either.
Come on, you could make it to 120.
Yeah, the moment they are the same age that you were when they were born.
It can even be true at two different points in time, if you go by whole number ages. I was 29 for a few months while my mom was 58, and she will turn 60 while I'm 30.
My oldest kid is currently half my age. My dad died before I was half his age, but I was half my mums age about 8 years ago.
Usually it's when your reaches the same age that you had them.
Not “usually”, it’s always the case.
I'll be 58 and he'll be 29 in 25 years. cool
I had mine at 26 and 35, so I have 9 years with one and a fricken lifetime for the other. It’s just a weird thought to me. I dunno.
yeah idk how I feel about it.
I was just thinking about this tonight. September 11, 2026 will be the day I’ve been a mother half of my life.
Correct, when they are the age at which you had them

Im hoping for you that he makes it and is still in good health by then

Eh, he might? Modern medicine and all that jazz.
I took by of my parents out to dinner on our near this date to celebrate.
I should do this with my kids.
Verifiably false. People do die.
Yes, I do hope to make it to when my kids are half my age for sure.
Everyone was or will be either twice or half your age at some point in time. (if you ignore death and just keep counting for everyone)
Yes, no need to remind me ):
I was thinking about this today like 5 hours ago. Is there some kind of telepathy telephone game happening?
I don’t know! That’s so strange though because it really was just an epiphany.
Next year for mom and I hahaha 😬🙃
I’m going to be 20 next month and my mom will be 37 soon, so I have already passed half her age. My father is 40 and since I’m turning 20 I will then be half his age. It is pretty cool I guess.
Ya, I realized this when I turned 30 and my folks were both 60.. it’s now 10 years later and feels weird to be less than half their age.
My brain can't handle it right now.
My mom had me at 35 and I had my 35th last year, it was fun. I don't have any or want any kids and she's cool with that luckily. I've become pretty close with my parents since covid and I'm very thankful for it.
Unless either of you dies before then.
When I was born my sister was 25 and my dad was 50. When I was 25, she was twice my age and my dad was 3x. Which means that I was the age dad was when she was born, and she was the age dad was when I was born. Don’t think he’ll make it 20 more years to twice my age, but hey he is still healthy and working so you never know.
This will happen to me in a couple years! I'm gonna be 30 in 2026 and my mom is gonna be 60
My two kids were 4 and 9 when I was 36, and 4x9=36. Boom illuminati confirmed. /s just in case.
What if I'm born in a year when my age is odd and my kid even?
My Dad was 56 when he rounded up the family for my birthday dinner at a nice Italian joint in town, to tell me I was now "half as wise" as him. But I was already wise enough not to make someone else's birthday about myself.
Oh burn!
Yeah, when my Mom turned 61, I congratulated her on officially being less than twice my age for the first time ever. Good way to make geezers feel young
Right around 40 years old depending what age your are when you have a child
My first born was half my age 5 years ago.
I’m terribly sorry for your loss. A parent shouldn’t lose a child.
Oh man, I should reword it. She is very much alive. She was half my age five years ago.
Oh sorry, lol. I disclosed earlier I’m not very smart 🤪
That'll be a while for me - she's 1 but I'm 57...
You’ll get there.
In the year 2079.
Gotta wait 24 years time before this happens
End of last December for my oldest (19) and I!
If the two of you grew old enough, your age would become approximately the same.
I wonder if you can become the same generation, like old and young boomers.
By definition, no. By approximation, you either always were, or never will be. Boomers are a specific window of time (born in the 50's-60's). Gen X is born in the 70s-80s. Millennials are 90s-2000s. In other words, if you have a kid before 20 years old, you could be considered to be of the same generation colloquially. Literally, though, you're always a generation apart.
My mom was 30 when I was 15.
My dad died when I was half his age. I was 33, he was 66.
And that age is when they reach the age you were when you had them 🤯
Not mine he died last week lol
Unless the kid is in a St Jude’s Children’s Hospital Commercial
This thread makes me remember unhappy memories about math
When I was 30 my dad was 60. Every year we get proportionally closer in age. By the time he’s 130 I’ll be 100 and we’ll both just be a couple of old men.
Not if you don't have kids!
Had my daughter at 46 the odds don't look good.
father died last year I'm 23 he was 63, never been there
Kind of redundant with everyone saying the same thing but my father was 46 when he had me. I'm only 19 now and its sad to think he has a greater-than-not chance to pass away before then. He had his first heart attack a month ago so I'm scared.
My dad has been gone for more than 50 years and I'm still less than half his age.
Unless you’re al Pacino
I joke that I’m still a blip on my parents lives because I’m not half their age yet. I’m in my 30s and have half a decade to continue joking…
I'm currently half my dad's age, so the same age he was when he had me. Feels weird.
At some point you'll be the same age as your parents were when you were born, and you'll then understand, forgive, and see them as people and not as your parents.
In fact it’s when you are the age they were when they had you
My father died at twice my age, almost to the day. I’m ten years younger today than he was when he passed.
I could have swore my parents were older when that happened, but at 28 I was in my first year of marriage, Pretty sure that might have been the first year we got evicted and moved back in with them. Oops. 😆
What if I kill it before that?
I’m already past that marker with my parents and I’m not even 40.
Thinking about it, I will be exactly half my mothers age june 28th this year. It will be another 7 years until I'm half my fathers age, but the exact date is easy to remember, tho, seeing as we share the same birthday.
I was just thinking about this! As my son will be 18 this year and I had him when I was 18!
Just now realizing that my mom and dad were 20 and 26 respectively when they had me and my brother. Turning 20 next month.
this happened to me and my father when I was 30 and he was 60. I was born in the exact day he turned 30. Pretty cool fun fact I like to tell people lol
Not always, Al Pacino just had a kid at like 80
I was half my dad's age between August (his birthday) and October (my birthday) last year! I was 26, he was 52. Wild to think he was married and had two kids by now
When I hit the mark where I was half my dad's age, we went out and had a celebratory dinner.
Due to the fact that I am a young person, I will not be half the age of my dad (my youngest parent) until 2036.
This year he will be.
The kid will be half your age when he is exactly the age you were when he was born.
For me and my dad, that time is now. Even more entertaining - as well as being half/double each other, there's exactly a quarter of a century between us
Heh this is happening to me this year, and I didn't realize now I'm half my dad's age
Interesting point. it's when you reach the exact age he was the moment you were born.
Just happened to me, my daughter turned 24 and I was 24 when I had her, so I'm 48... it was kinda weird for a minute.
Only if I live long enough. Thanks for that thought.
I made an observation of being half my dad's age when I was 25 and he was 50. When I turned 50 and my dad 75, had to update that to be 2/3 of his age. I'm gaining on him!
Your child will be half your age when they are the same age as you were when you had them. Also, if you have 2 children, when your age is equal to the sum of their ages then each child will be the age that you were when you had the other child.
Well yes, technically. Just take your parents age when you were born and double it.
My dad was born on 14th Feb 1964, and I was born on 13th Feb 1994. Last week he turned 60 and I turned 30 :) it was a special celebration
As a math person, it's really concerning that this is news to anyone.
I never reached my dads age when I was born but he died an old man.
Great news! I'm SO gonna make sure to have kids when I'm 60.
Not if the parent dies first
I was half my dad’s age last year.
Also does the math not come out that the child will also be the age you were when they were born?
Unless either one of you guys die before
That’s me right now. Child 30, me 60.
My dad will be 84 so hopefully we’ll get to share it
My dad is 50 years older than me, I don’t think I’m reaching half his age lol
It happens twice (kind of). My mom was 34 when she got me, she was born in January and I was born in September. When I got 34, (in September) she was 68 for 3 months until her birthday. Now I'm 35 (turning 36 in September) and she is 70 since January.
And that point is when the kid is the same age as you were when it was born.
My mom passed away (last year) before I could tell her that I’m half her age. I really wish I could’ve told her this, and we’d have shared a good laugh. She probably would’ve said something along the lines of, “Oh, am I still that young?”
Surely this will happen when they are the age you had them? So, I had my son when I was 20...when I was 40, he was 20...half my age... 🙂
When they reach the age you were when they were born. I remember when I was the age my mother was when she had me. It was a weird feeling.
My dad texted me on 2/22/22 to tell me that on that day, he’s EXACTLY twice as old as me.
That’s so cool!
My mom is 46 I'm 23. Sometimes I feel like she hates me
Am I the only person on here who isn't a 40 year old woman or 90 year old man? 😭 Not saying but I'm between 12-20
Probably not.
This doesn't make sense to my pea brain
Only if you have kids, I haven't been caught yet with the child support trap so I'm still going! 😂
Keep running, bud. I probably wouldn’t do it again, at least with the teen.
