How old are year 1 mums

I was 33, 35, 39 and 41

I was 27 with DS1 and 34 with DS2

the only thing I regret about having babies so old is the grandkids 😂 if they have their father's prowess with the females I'll be decrepit before I get any!! and yes they might choose to not have any anyway or be unable to etc. but 5 yos current ambition is to be a Daddy like Daddy. and then a headteacher as an afterthought 😂

37 with my first and 43 with my second

I'm sorry, that's really shit. my school Mom friendship group ranges from first child at 19 to first child at 40 (all same year). Age has nothing to do with friendship especially situational ones like school where you clearly have stuff in common.

With dcs 1 & 2 I was mid 30's when they were in year 1, dd 3 is in reception so I'll be a couple of months off 50 when she's in year 1, I would say that the majority of the mums and dad's at my dds school range from mid 30s to 50's, I think more & more women are waiting until later to have children now.

43, nearly 44.

there's one Mom a year younger, another few in maybe mid 30s / late 30s and a load of 20 something's who are all slim and beautiful. I get the feeling old thing.

I was 21 with my eldest and 34 with my youngest child.

My daughter and step daughter were both 25 when their eldest were in year 1.

I'm 45 - I was 39 when she was born. I'm one of the oldest mums in her class, but I don't think I'm the oldest.

I'm 37. The playground parents for the other Yr 1 children vary widely tbh, some are older than me, there's someone in their 50's, some are in their 20's.

I’m 33 with my eldest in year 1, and I’ll be 37 by the time my youngest starts

When DD was in reception she was asked by a DC if I was her GM when I picked her up from school. I was a bit upset thinking I must look ancient. I was 39.
It turned out the girl who said it had a DM aged nineteen. I was four years older than her GM.
I was pretty average in age, but there were outliers both ways.

I was in my early thirties standing by Mums in early twenties and those in their mid forties.

I was 39. Most of the school run mums were about the same age but ranged from about 25-50.

I was 42 with my eldest, 44 with my 2nd & 46 with my youngest when they were in year 1. We’ve moved around a lot & I was pretty much always the oldest mum in the class! My daughter (now in year 10) however, has just moved schools & I’m a pretty average age there! 😆

Edited to add that amongst my friendship group, I was a very average age!

I'm 54 - great isn't it?!! WE have more sense and more experience to pass on - I think/hope!😍

I was 27 then 31, other parents were all at least 10 years older than me. It very much depends on the area though, small village schools tend to be mostly older parents, estate schools in deprived areas less so

Vast majority at our school with ks1 kids are mid 30s to early 40s.

I know! I think it was meant as a very light hearted compliment, it’s just funny because medically speaking I’m a pretty old mum, as you illustrate! I thought it was interesting that I’ve had that comment, but also someone cautioning that I might not see my youngest grow up, in the same day!

@eastegg A child bride?! What?!!! I've just turned 45 with a son at uni (and also a 5 yo!) Someone once asked me if my daughter was an "accident." Absolutely not.

I’m sorry about what’s happened to you but as someone who also turned 49 while my youngest was in year 1, your comment is out of order. A much lower chance of seeing them grow up? The pp said 49, not 69 ffs. No I don’t feel guilty, I feel full of love and pride. I think you need to find a better way to deal with your issues than making these sort of comments to people for having children in their forties.

Someone commented to me today that I must have been a child bride as I’ve got a child in sixth form, even though I’m now 51! And yet here you are cautioning me that I might be about to drop dead. Well I suppose I might, but then might we all.

I wish you all the best, and I’m sorry about your parents, but my youngest is the absolute embodiment of joy and hope and the idea I might feel guilty is anathema. I’m confident no-one in my actual life would think that I should.

It’s odd the things people feel emboldened to say on the internet.

i’ll be 31 and 33 when mine are in year 1 :)

Only read the first page but I can beat you all. 48. In fact I turned 48 while my youngest was in reception.

Will carry on reading now, I’m sure there’ll be someone older 😂

I was 42 when my youngest was in yr1.
Several of us were around the same age. X
