@RevolvingPivot

My mum was always one of the eldest mums. She had me at 26 and I was that age when I had dd.
Oh really? Do you think that was area related ie in a more deprived area? I've noticed when dropping my niece off at school, they live in a more deprived area and the mums are younger. But I've been with my friend once before while picking up her youngest from his private school and I'd say the parents were older there.

  1. Is there a prize 😂 Eldest DD is almost old enough to be my baby’s mother. She has already volunteered to do parents’ evenings for me, as I’ll clearly be too old to manage 🙄

40, 45 and 50

Actually how old I was going to be when the youngest was 18 was the factor in deciding when I was going to finish my family by. So 32 was my deadline. It's all personal choice but that was mine.

Dyra · 05/07/2021 11:28

I'm feeling so, so very old right now. I'll be 51. Sad I'll be at least 53 if I have any more.

DD1 says I'm "so much younger" than her friend's mums Wink. When she wants something!

NatMoz · 05/07/2021 11:37

50 (pregnant and will be born when still 32).

I don't think I'll have any more but looking at this thread, what I considered a fairly average age is actually old?
