| Me: 53yo and child: 11yo. What’s the average age of elementary and middle school parents at your school? |

I know plenty of older mothers, OP. You probably won't be the oldest one there!

| At 53 my youngest was in first grade. It. Doesn’t. Matter. And FWIW, my other kids were in fifth and 9th. I win. You’re not the oldest ever. |

I’m your age with a 12 year old. It’s been completely comfortable. |

| I’m 48 with a 12 year old. There are older parents, especially dads. I’ll be 51 when my youngest is in Ms. I don’t think too many moms are older. Most of my mom friends are 40-46. |

I was older than you! Had my second at 43 and he had a late birthday so he was a year behind those in his birth year! Relax! |

Not my experience. My eldest is starting middle school next year and I’ll be 38. I’m the youngest in her grade, younger than the next youngest mom by 5 years. I am looking forward to being “normal” among the moms in my youngest’s grade. |

| No. Lots of educated moms have kids later nowadays. |
