Just musing on this as I recently told people I was taking a day off to attend my daughter's graduation and they assumed I meant from nursery 😂

I'm mid-forties and my children are 21 and 17.

Ha ha - I’m 47 and my DS is 19. A colleague looked at me open mouthed when I said I had a 19 year old. I’m taking it as a compliment but loads of my similar aged colleagues have primary school kids - I’m a bit of an anomaly!

45, have a 5 year old.

I'm mid 50s but 10 years ago my children were 3, 6 and 7. It will depend where you live how old parents are.

I was the youngest mum in dc1 class.
With dc3 I thought iI'd be mid range but we'd moved area and I was one of the youngest.
