to be shocked i am the oldest mum on the school run...?

[superv1xen]

and i am ONLY 30 FFS

never noticed before but i was looking around while waiting for DS (4) to come out and I am definitely the oldest and by quite a bit as well i think.

dammit they all look so young and trendy, they must think i am a right frumpy old thing :( some of them have got 1 or 2 younger ones with them as well.

and no, before anyone suggests it, they are not nannies. no one in my area could afford one :o

Maybe the other 'not gymslip' Mums are working?

Anyway, 30 is young! Enjoy it!!

Wow, where do you live, Hollyoaks? I am lucky as at 38 I am nowhere near the oldest mum in the playground. I didn't even have any children at 30!

(How is your mate - the one that was getting married to the complete twat, has a little girl he wont mind etc?)

So you were 26 when you had Ds?
I was 28 when i had DD,30 with DS1 and 34 with DS2.
I always felt like i was the oldest but it turned out i wasn't!
Friend is due in January and she'll be 45,so she'll be nearly 50 when he starts school.

That must be quite unusual! There are a few younger parents on our primary school run but most are 30s/early 40s.

Agree with chipping - you can't assume that
a) everyone picking up is a mum - could be cm/nanny
b) many mums are probably at work at end of school time

30 is nothing!

OP is grogeous (yes I've snooped her profile) so the other mums must be look like a line-up for Britain's Next Top fecking Model :( All the mums at my school look like a line-up at a police station

Maybe they're all 50 but Botoxed/facelifted/full of fillers etc

*gorgeous, obvs...

My god you look about 20

yeah i was 26 when DS was born. and 29 when DD was born. always saw myself as a young ish mum, till i moved here!

chipppingin - from bad to worse re my mate i'm afraid, i'll drop you a PM. thanks for asking, i really appreciate you remembering.x

gosh thanks for the compliments theyre good pics, i normally look far worse in the flesh :o

and cupcakes rofl at the police line up at your school :o

I was 44 when I had DD2 so pushing 50 when she started school. I didn't look the oldest at the school gate but now I'm wondering if some of the old timers weren't the children's grandparents.

i really do think it depends on the area, i have a friend who is 26 and lives in quite a posh area and the other mums are all much older and she feels they look down on her slightly as she was a teen mum and they are all 30's and 40's plus.

Out of my daughters four friends i am the oldest although admittedly only by a year. I am 27 she is 6 so i was a young mum myself. I don't think i am the oldest In general. It does depend on the area though i was a young un her old school.

30 old lol

My sister is pg with twins and she is 49 so she will be well in her 50's when doing school run.

May be i should teach them to call her Gran just for a laugh [evil grin]

The oldest Mum at DS's school has just had another at 47

The youngest is 20.

I am 37y (DD in Y4, aged 8y) and I am definitely not the oldest mum at all. Plenty a fair bit older. Youngest mum in DD's year is 30, or is it 31?

I am towards the top end of the age bracket at our school, but I'm pushing 40, and my oldest DD is 6. However, most of the other mums are just a little younger (mid-thirties) - not many teenagers, I have to say (apart from the 18-yo who, it turns out, is dropping off/collecting her little sister ).

you are 30??
bloody hell. now i feel inferior, im 30 and look old enough to be your mum.

Blimey! Old at 30? What sort of an area do you live in??

You had DS aged 26? That's young amongst people I know!

I don't think there are any mums under 30 at ds1's school.

30 is nothing...I will be 37 doing school run with DS1 and 39 with DD2
