Generation times can be very short when mental illness and/or heavy drug use are in play.
I had a cousin who was a grandfather at 32 and great grandfather at 46.
Absolutely, you’re right. I work in child protection and it’s honestly pretty common to see grandparents in their thirties. I’m yet to see one younger than exactly 30 though, but I’m sure they’re out there. There’s always a heavy mix of domestic violence, substance abuse, sexual abuse, and sometimes mental health issues at play as well.
I met one who was just barely 30 once when I was over in England and it was not a fun story.
She had her daughter at 16 after being high on heroine. She had no idea who the father was. Her daughter had a baby girl after being raped by a cousin at 11.
She was a grandmother at 27.
Ah look to be fair, that short generation Al thing has only become unusual in broader western society in the last hundred years or even less.
