PP here my youngest will remark on my grays and kindly suggest hair color so she is aware of the age we are. Much more so than my eldest.

When you're an older parent, I think it's important to take good care of yourself and make your appearance a priority. My mom was "old" compared to the other moms, but she always looked much younger than her age because she took great care of herself and dressed in age-appropriate but stylish clothing. Other girls with "old" moms would complain that their moms looked and acted old. It shouldn't be that way, but I'm afraid that it is. Of course, at any age, you're doing your kids a favor if you look attractive.
REALLY?

I don't understand why all these parents in their 40's and 30's are responding to a question directly asked of 50+ year old parents in the "Fifty and Older" forum.
Do you people really know know whether you are over 50 or not?
I read here but rarely comment. I am “only” 44 and DH is “only” 49, but this forum often is a bit more relevant to where we are in life that a general forum, as we don’t have much in common with the average poster in their 20s or 30s and/or single and/or starting or building their career. I don’t generally
Comment, but I don’t think you should be too surprised that a public 50+ forum does t have a hard age limit.
That said, our youngest is 4 so we will fall into the group OP is referring to and are somewhat ther with our 8 year old. I am glad to live in a place where we aren’t/won’t be considered straight up ancient parents.

Vomit.
Vomit +1
Another vomiting episode.
I am 50 with a 10-year-old, and when I interact with parents of my classmates, I do not feel old one bit. And no, 'appearance' is not my priority, but being professionally successful, well-read and well-travelled is.
I guess all your kids will build a lot of character.
