How old are year 1 mums

[gottalovemushrooms]

If u are a mum to a child in year 1 how old are u? Just cos I feel so old. I’m almost 42

She's a teenager now, but when DD3 started P1 (so five), I was three weeks off 44. My older two were 15 and 14 then.

Based in the SW, my daughter started Y1 in September as I turned 40.

I was 34 and 38 when mine were in year 1

I was 50 when my youngest was in Y1. I was surprised to find I wasn’t the oldest (by one month). At least a third of DC’s class had mums over 40 when they were in Y1 (small village primary).

I was 39 when my DD was in year 1. The oldest Mum was 52 and the youngest was 19. It really doesn’t matter.

I was 48 when mine was in year 1.
I'm probably the older mum tbf by the look of everyone, but I can't care less tbh.

I’m almost 41 and have a reception kid

I was 28 with my first and I’ll be 41/42 with the last. Perfectly normal to have a large range of ages.

I was 41 when my youngest was in Year 1, definitely one of the oldest. I was 38 when my eldest was in Year 1, and one of the oldest.

The parents older than me mostly also had much older children too.

Haven't read the whole thread.

When my kids were in Year 1 (around a decade ago), the youngest mum and dad were both 21. Oldest mum was around 48 and oldest dad was 61.

My son aged 14 and his best mate, also 14 are going to see Metallica next year with his mum - aged 30 (possibly 31 by the time we go) and I will be 52!

What I will say is; when you have a child, whether you’re 18, 33 or 45 the goals, concerns and achievements are the same. We all, as parents want the best for our children - and then, age really doesn’t matter.

Well that depends on things like siblings? With my youngest 31/32 and my youngest 41/42. So without knowing basics about their family I wouldn’t think anything about their ages really.

My sister had her first at 22 and said she always fwlt out of place being a young mum. And then a second at 37 and says she now feels like the oldest.
We were in a less well off area when my first was in primary and I felt old.
And then moved to a more affluent area now I am actually even older and i feel young.
It does depend on area I think too, stands to reason that younger parents have had less time to build up to a better job or more expensive house. Older parents have had more time to accumulate money and wouldnt have spent their 20s paying out for child related things.
I was 35 when my eldest was in year 1 and 40 when my youngest was in year 1.

My youngest started reception in September. I'm 49

I'm 28 with a child in Year One but I can't say I really take note of how old people look, I just say a friendly good morning

With my eldest I was 21 when she was Y1, my youngest I was 45. I prefer to go with feeling wise rather than old 😉.

I was 25 with my first and 32 with my last.

I was 50 when my child was in Year 1.

43. A few mums are my age, many (most) a decade younger, some young enought to be my daughter 🙈

26 with my first, 30 with my 3nd and will be 36 when 3rd goes x

38 with my first and I will be 48 with my last.

I was 36 and 38.

Quire normal in my area of UK.

I have one in year 2 and one in preschool so I will be 50 when in year one. There is another mum who will be 51 in year one , so not feeling so old. Average age in the 40’s.

That'll be next year for me when I'll be 46.

I was 43!
