[quote=Anonymous]I'm currently 54 and my youngest is 13.  I was 36, 38 and 41 when I had my children.  I have a few friends that are my age with similar aged children.  At my kids' schools, I have noticed that the highly educated parents are older whereas the parents who don't have high powered jobs are all much younger..  Most of my friends all had their first child around 30 and their last when they were 35 or 36.  I've always had a very young looking face, I'm in good shape and have almost no gray hair so I can currently pass for late 40's.

My husband and I both had/have older parents.  My mom was 30 and my dad was 40 when I was born - I was their oldest child.  None of my friends had parents the same age as my parents unless they were the youngest sibling.  I always felt a little weird when I was growing up that my parents were so old.  My mom passed away at 81 from self induced lung cancer (she smoked for 50 years) so I was 51.  My dad is still alive - he's 94.  My husband's parents were both 40 when he was born, but he was the youngest child (10 years younger than his closest sibling.)  His mother is still alive but his dad passed away when he was 81 as well.  So if my husband and I both live until our mid 80's, our children will be close to 50 years old.[/quote]
