actual norse mythology being scanty (for the record, I believe that everything we know is drawn from 2 colloections of sagas), I can't prove this. However if one interpretation is followed, the Valkyries are beings of an order with the Norns, unlike the Aesir and Vanir. There were, apparently, the three Norns we all know of, who direct destiny according to some predetermined plan, a whole bunch of other lesser norns - one for EVERY living human - and the valkyries who basically recruited Einherjar for Odin because the Norns loaned them to him.
Interpretations that place the Norns as Odin's daughters are probably not refering to a blood relationship. Where Zeus fathered most of Greek mythology, Odin was more prone to adopt them, sort of 'they followed my home for the victory feast Frigg, shall we keep them?' Frigg is his wife, btw.
He adopted Tyr (who was -probably- older than him) so adopting the Norns as his daughters would not be implausible.

You're only young once, but immaturity is forever.
