To feel young, and to be surprised?

[BrittaPerry]

I thought I was a fairly normal age - I had dd1 at 22, then dd2 at 24. Same age as my mum had me and my sister. Maybe younger than I would have planned, but not by much.

The other mums at school (especially the 'alpha mum' types, PTA etc) all seem to be around ten or fiftenn years older than me (Dd1 in year one)

I have chatted to one mum who is 26, an she feels the same as me - really young.

Aibu to be surprised by this?

(relatively deprived area, catholic school, but wouldn't a devout catholic have kids younger, if anything?)

In my NCT group, a 22 or 24 year old would be a baby. The hint is in the word 'NCT'.

I had DD1 (now 10) at 20.
When she first started at school most of the mums were mid to late 30s.
I don't think it's a bad think though because some of them have become very good friends.
But at the time I felt very young and out of my depth.
Even though my mum and her mum had their first at 18 and said they were more than ready.

There are plenty of old hag mums like me where I live in London - most of my kid's friends have mums my age (40s)

I like having young mums around though. DD has a little friend whose mum is 21 and she's lovely - in fact i'm older than the little girl's gran....
