If they are 22 months older than OP’s DD that has a summer birthday they will be 19th e whole senior year and turn 20 right before they start freshman year in college. I don’t think starting college at 20 is a problem at all BTW, but I do think it’s a problem to have kids that are 22 months apart in the same classroom

Agreed, and it's weird that people on this thread think it's no big deal. It's already problematic and OP is right to be worried about how puberty is going to work.

I don't understand why people are gaslighting OP. This would bother me too, and based on what she's said, it's already causing social issues for her DD that are likely to get worse, not better, as the classmates enter puberty and OP's DD is nowhere near.[/quote]
