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.

Well I had my eldest at 16 and my youngest at 40 so mine range from 30 down to 6.

@familyissues12345 I'm 44 and have an "adult" child (18), a teenager (15), and a little one (5). My little girl is so the "boss" of her two brothers! 😀

I also have 2 dc who sadly died who would be 27 and 18.

*edit due to fat fingers making me get my own dcs age wrong.

When I am 45, my kids will be 19 and 16. I’m 39 now and seem to be slightly younger than average out of the school mums but not by loads. When my mum was 45, I was 27

I'm 47 and have two kids aged 10 and 7.

mynameiscalypso · 08/09/2025 21:25

I’m 42 and DS has just turned 6. I’d say that I’m about average in terms of friends/colleagues/school mums. I can’t imagine what it would be like to have a grown up child. No way am I adult enough for that!
