[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Binge watching the series since HBO is free this weekend, and I'm really struggling with two 50 year olds (Kidman and Dern) playing mothers of 6 year olds.

Reese is far more believable as a mom in this series. [/quote]
? Kidman is a mother of a 6yr old IRL. And her character is written as older than her DH. I think it makes total sense given the massive wealth and careers of Celeste and Renata as well. [/quote]
The 5 lead moms showed a great range of mom ages -- just like I'm real life! I hope you don't struggle in your kid's classroom when you realize the age diffence among the moms. [/quote]
This is so true!

I have a 6yo, and in her class last year, I made good friends with moms who were nearly 50, 41, 30s, late-20s. I'm 34 myself. We all meshed. [/quote]

There's a difference between nearly 50 and actually 50. Kidman and Dern are actually 50. Why did they make the kids 6? Why not 9?

I think it's weird that you're so hung up on how old the actresses are.  I'm 44 and have a 6 year old.  I am quite sure that I look older than Nicole Kidman.  My stomach certainly looks older than Nicole Kidman's (I think mine looks about 90, but that's a different story...).  The actresses did not look young, but, really, for uber-rich, highly-educated professionals, mid or late 40s with a 6 or 7 year is very realistic.  My SIL just had a baby and she's 45.  And she's not even as rich or high-powered as the couples in this story are supposed to be.  (I guess...I don't really track how much my BIL makes.)  [/quote]
