Is it better to have younger or older parents? Our first years, we´re not aware about the impact that our parents have in our life. Is much later, when we grow up, that we realise the effects of having younger or older parents. And then, we ask ourselves: Is it better to have younger or older parents? It´s likely that you have more things in common with young parents. For example, sharing hobbies, playing games or sports together, go for trips or excursions... There is more energy. Many times, young parents are closer to their children´s reality, which makes easier talk with them about problems and sensitive topics, making you feel confident. And personality is important too, because unconsciously you copy the way of thinking and acting. On the other hand, older parents have experience on life. They can give you good advices, and though you think them as old-fashioned, later you cotton on to they were worth. The lack of energy is in many cases compensated with patience. Patience that you should have if they ask you to teach them how to use new technologies. In adition,it´s possible that older parents are retired. So they have all the time of the world for helping you, in contrast with younger parents, who could be working both of them. There are many items for assessing, each one with his importance. Personally I prefer have had younger parents, because I´ve been able to enjoy them, and they´ve been able to enjoy me. And maybe someday they can enjoy grandchildren. Either way, how had my life been if my parents had been older?
