If a mother at age 40 and her daughter at age 20 are both pregnant at the same time?

Question

Would their children be of the same generation since they are growing up chronologically at the same time, or would the mother's new child be part of her older sister's generation and the daughter's new child be of the next generation?

Answer 1

Well obviously they are of the same generation. They will see the same things growing up.

Duh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 2

the same generation obviously

Answer 3

.anyone would known the children,will grow up in the same generation...not the daughter and your new child coming. what generation would they belong in... i can not believed i heard that!!,,just because you would be having a child that is a sister of the older one..does not mean they grew up in the same era..with your age you should not have a child if you can not think the way a adult...

Answer 4

Im not hundred percent definite on the facts, but i believe that a generation is in two contexts

one is a familys generation so the mothers new born will be the same generation as their sister who is pregnant.

the other is the generation of time so both children will be in the same generation.

Answer 5

I say the kids would be part of whatever generation is happening at that time though the differences in parental priorities could create quite different personalities in the kids

Answer 6

My mum was pregnant at the same time as my sister. I wasn't born first so i have a niece who's older than me ;p

I always considered myself in my sisters generation but only cos shes my sister. Never thought of it any other way.

Answer 7

Traditionally generation meant the time between parents and offspring. Grandmother, mother and daughter were three generations, however today generations are considered by the social events going on and current trends, so to todays sociologists both newborns would be part of the next generation.
