[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wouldn’t. Some people look older than their age, and there are people (particularly in DC) having babies in their mid-40s. Not sure why it really matters to you though.[/quote]

It is a new school for us and I want to meet other parents. I thought I would be the old mom in my 40s. I did not want to offend anyone from the first meeting.[/quote]

Maybe try getting to know them - age-agnostic- then you won't have to worry about offending people.  Ask them questions like, where do you live? How do you like the school so far ... you know questions that have nothing to do with age. [/quote]

I’m not a young mom either. My oldest is 10 and friends often have siblings in high school and college.

These caregivers at preschool seemed much older than the normal older parent.

Then again, DH has a colleague who is 15 years his senior and kids are our age. His hair is all white and he says people often think he is the grandfather and not the father.[/quote]
