Older folks forum?

I'm an over-50 parent with a rising 2nd grader and a high schooler. I can't relate to many of the younger DCUMers, and I am glad Jeff is going to create a forum for us older parents.

How about "50-Plus Parenting" or "50-Plus Parents"?

That title will scare off the young'uns but include the late-40s crowd who see the big 5-0 looming.

Thanks, Jeff!

Here here! ~waving~ DH is 52 and I'm about to be 50 (yikes!) with a rising 5th grader and a rising 2nd grader.

I say, "Way to go!!"

Have fun during menopause!

Um Jeff I think maybe something simple like 50 Plus Forum or things are going to get ugly.

I'm leaning toward something like 'Fifty and Over". However, I'm enjoying the suggestions. So, keep them coming.

How about something like Midlifers, or if we want to rile up the young'uns, Older and Wiser (just kidding).

"50-somethings" ??

Actually I kind of like "older and wiser"

Okay, this forum has been set up.

I'm a little disappointed this wasn't the winning title, Jeff. But, thanks to the PP, that's what I'll think of when I see it.

Initially, I had included that in the description. But, then I removed it in fear that some users wouldn't get the joke.
