Average age of parents

[Anonymous]

At the welcoming reception for K, I noticed that most parents look like they're in their 40s and maybe even 50s. In another thread a poster mentioned that s/he will be in their 40s when the kids graduate from high school. I will also be in my early 40s when my kid graduates from high school. What do you think is the average age of the parents at your kid's private?

No clue, but we are mid-30s and feel "average."

Def an older set. 38 is about the youngest mom of a K student.

My sister had her oldest at 32 and she feels like a really young mom at her kid's private.

I guess people had the time to amass the wealth.

Or it's not their first kid.

We are 42 and 45. Our oldest is in 4th and youngest is in k. I often feel old.

I'm 38 with a kindergartner and get made fun of fairly often for being the baby amongst the moms...

I was 38 when my oldest started K at a private. I was among the younger half but didn't feel out of place. There were parents in their mid-40s-early 50s but also plenty of other parents in the mid to upper 30s.

I was 35 when oldest started K. I felt like I was 15 years younger than most. I was 40 when oldest started and felt like most were about my age, not much older or younger.

Meh. Worry about something more significant.

The appearance gap closes as you get older. I found that the age difference wasn't such a big deal after a while. One of best friends is almost 12 years older than me and another best friend is five years younger.

What does it matter how old the parents are, OP?

Private school tends to have older parents and yes it has to do with income level I was 37 snd 41 for each of my k kids
