[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I suppose I am an "older mom", being 46 with a 7 year old...

For me, it just matters that (a) I like the other parent and (b) our kids like each other. My "mom friends" range from 30 - 44, with my closest of the other moms being 35.

Age doesn't really matter, though I definitely find there are some differences in certain situations ... For example, I am not a fan of alcohol at children's events and don't take my son to "family" happy hours, whereas most of the younger moms I know don't have any issues with it. I am not obsessed with my son's education and getting into this or that program, etc. I think, because I am "older" and have parents who I was never close to and are now nearing their end, I hold my family closer and see more value in quality, regular family time vs things like summer camps, after school programs, academic enrichment opportunities, etc. This isn't criticism, just differences I notice among those we know.[/quote]
