[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You didn’t ask the child’s perspective but I had older parents and it was hard on me. I worried about my dad’s health even when I was in elementary school, people assumed he was my grandfather and he died when I was in college. [/quote] I'm sorry for your loss, that sounds very hard. It sounds like your dad was quite a bit older, though. Most people in this thread are talking about having a kid late 30s or early 40s. This is different than having a child in your late 40s or early 50s, which is rarely even possible for women anyway. When I was a kid I envied friends who had older parents. My parents were young and very immature and had no money. Friends with older parents lived in nicer homes, their parents were more settled and seemed more mature. I remember some of those friends' parents became mentors/confidants for me when I was a teenager. They seemed like real grown ups and my parents just seemed like overwhelmed college kids.[/quote]
