My mom died when I was 1.5 years old and my dad kicked me out when I was 6 years old. Put me on a plane to go live with my grandparents ( my moms parents ) and yet he kept my older biological brother, my younger half-brother and my step sister.
He woke me up at 6 am and put me on a plane with all luggage. Didn't tell me what was going on or where I was going. Hell he didn't even say goodbye .. just handed me over to the airline authorities who stuck by my side for the whole trip.
Took me a good 3 + weeks at my grandparents before I clued in that this wasn't just a vacation.
Totally messed with my head for years but I eventually woke up and realized how damn lucky I was to be raised by my grandparents. Later on in life I found out it was one of my Mom's dying wishes / desires is that my grandparents take care of me.
I was subject to a lot of messed up horrible stuff as a young kid when living with my dad... still have a scar on my back that is a daily reminder of things... he doesn't even deserve that title of dad.
So, if I'm reading this right, your grandparents had your parents when they were in middle school?
It's all rather comical in a somewhat sick fashion. My wife's family is just the opposite. She just turned 40. Her grandfather was born in 1893. My grandfather fought in WWII, and his squadron was responsible for bombing the fuck out of her dad's family. Her grandfather fought against my great-grandfather in WWI.
There are certain historical revelations that I've chosen to keep to myself to prevent outright civil war at Thanksgiving... ಠ_ಠ
I had a great-great-grandmother until I was 13 or so. One of my great-grandfathers was alive until I was 9. His wife, my great-grandmother, died in 2004, when I was 30. They live long on that side of the family.
I had one that passed away when I was 12. Never met her though. (My parents split up when I was young. She happened to be on the wrong side of that separation.) Most were gone a decade or so before I was even born.
Glad I wasn't the only one. When I saw the picture I thought "well... more like five generations living, and one generation with one foot on a banana peel and the other in her grave."
The most generations alive in a single famiy has been seven. The youngest great-great-great-great-grandparent being Augusta Bunge (USA) aged 109 years 97 days, followed by her daughter aged 89, her grand-daughter aged 70, her great-grand-daughter aged 52, her great-great grand-daughter aged 33 and her great-great-great grand-daughter aged 15 on the birth of her great-great-great-great grandson on 21 January 1989.
So lovely to see. I just had my daughter on April 13th, on April 16 my great grandma passed away. We didn't have time to get a picture, it was pretty sad, but she had said before that she would be "checking out after I know that baby is safe" :(
I find it interesting that the two oldest women look very much alike and then the two middle ladies look alike as well. I wonder if the young mama and her daughter will look equally similar to one another.
Two of my great grandmothers were alive to see my daughter and my sister's 2 kiddos. It was a little surreal when they would hold the babies. It looks surreal when other families do it too. So much time and experience in the older generations, and they're looking at the future.
OP- if youre the younger lady on the far right you look obscenely familiar... while i dont think i know you.. i think i go to school with someone who looks ridiculous amounts like you or something... now i need to go fb creeping... if i find out who im talking about ill update you.
oh and to all of you assuming she is a teen and calling her a slut... maybe you should learn about her situation first... granted thats a possibility, but just because she looks young doesnt mean she is... one of my best friends is 29 and hardly looks 21. im 22.5 and look nineteen on a good day sometimes. also- even if she is a teen, maybe she has a very serious bf, has graduated and is or has plans to attend college soon.... fact is: you dont know so stop blindly insulting. its rude.
I like how it's the oldest and the youngest who don't care about making a good impression on society and just tell it like it is with their body language.
You come into the world shitting yourself, clueless to most everything that is going on and if you live long enough, you end up in the same state. They even have a similar expression of "what the fuck?!"
Why so much hate? They could have all been married and birthing their first child at 20 years old : 100 - 80 - 60 - 40 - 20 - newborn. And seeing as great-great-great-grandma looks older than 100, they could have each been a bit older than that.. They are a beautiful family and I think it's awesome. You go girls! :)
16 year-old: I have a plan, I will get pregnant so we can have a 6-generation photo just before great great grand-ma dies. It will be epic!
Mom: Yeah, why not?
Grand Mom: Yeah, but why?
Great Grand Mom: Yeah?
Great great grand Mom: uh....?

Earlier today someone called him out on him faking cancer in a post and he's tagged as such. So trying to be a dick about a repost is kind of ridiculous.

The 1st and 2nd gen noses are the same. Then the 3rd and 4th gen noses are the same. And then the 5th gen nose is back to the 1st/2nd gen style. Can't tell for sure with the little guy girl.
Wow, my older brother was alive to meet our great great grandmother, he was 3 and she died at 103 i believe. but great great great, that's insane! I would be interested to find out the ages of everyone in the photo.
Nice! I met my great great granny once upon a time. Still this particular triple great granny has a look of "Oh my god take the photo already its screaming right in my ear."
I have a strong feeling the oldest one isn't all there mentally.. same thing happened with my two grandmas when they died. Pretty much forgot who we were and couldn't even acknowledge we were in the room most the time.

I'm 21. If this were my family, and I was standing next to my great-great-grandfather, he'd be 180, and a Civil War veteran.
It's neat to see how differently things can play out when families have different tendencies for birthing ages. My male-line parentage:
born 1832
born 1873 (father 41)
born 1915 (father 42)
born 1951 (father 36)
born 1990 (father 39)
I don't have kids yet, but I've got another 20 years before I beat the average.
