[quote=Anonymous]I'm in my early 50's w/ elementary age kids. I had twins in my 40's.

I was and am a pretty confident mom. I greatly appreciate moms (of any age) who help me look out for my kids. I greatly appreciate moms (of any age) who are compassionate about the challenges of parenting, and who are supportive without being judgmental.

All that said, how receptive I am to having a dangerous situation pointed out, or a parenting suggestion offered, or constructive feedback on a situation or possibility depends hugely on how calm I am on any given day, how I perceive the situation being discussed, and how the person approaches me.

You sound quite judgmental OP. If I sensed judgment or condescension in your tone or attitude I will be quite unwelcoming.  I would have behaved that way in my 20's and I'm sure I'll behave that way in my 80's.

Also, one of the pp's asked if you would judge a male the same way you're seeking to judge females. Check the bias you're bringing to the interaction at least as much as you're questioning the large group you're attempting to label.[/quote]
