Middle school now, but we both turned 50 while youngest was still in elementary.

I'm 50 and have a fifth grader and 9th grader. I'm glad to be an older parent. I don't sweat the small stuff.

52 with a 6th grader.
Could easily be the mom of a few of the teachers and even some of other the parents.

Or maybe they are so well maintained through procedures and salons and gyms that it's hard to tell who is over 50. If you are late 40s or older and have kids in elementary (or younger) state your age and kids' ages. Tell me I'm not alone.


I'm 50, my husband is 54 - we have a 4th grader

We are in Bethesda where older parenting is supposed to be common but I don't feel like I see that many parents my age at kid places.


One of my close friends is in Bethesda and is 58 with a 12 year old (and a 16 yo). So when she was your age she had a 4 yo. She says she’s definitely on the older side compared to the other parents in her younger kids class. I’m the same age and my kids have both graduated from college (and I was over 30 when both were born so not exactly a teen mom or anything!)

50 with kids 19, 17, and 9. We are on the older end for 4th grade parents in our youngest's school, but there are a significant number who are older than us.
