I always won the old parent contests at school. My grandfather was born in 1883. My mother was born in 1913. The youngest in the family, I was born in 1956, when my parents were 43 and 47. In contrast, my husband is the oldest of his siblings, born to young parents, so my parents could have been his grandparents. I don't think it really bothered me to have older parents, nor did it cause me to feel like a misfit. Plenty of other things did, though. LOL
