Is it better to have older or younger parents? -- ESSAY All families are different and every of them have good and bad things, it depends of a lot of other personal characteristics that are not related to the age of the parents, and it also depends of the perspective or opinion you have about your personal situation, it’s a really subjective point. Trying to be objective, in a family with younger parents maybe all the members of the family can share more hobbies, because their age gap is small and it’s easier to talk about topics that older people can’t understand. On the other hand, having older parents can be positive because they can teach their children a lot of different things about their past, like old groups of music, history, movies… In other practical terms, older parents can have more experience in parenting if they have been parents before, but if they haven’t, there is not so much diference between an older and a younger couple. In the economic point, older people usually have a more stable and a better economic situation that younger people, but it also depends of the family. In conclusion, age gap maybe it’s not so important because it depends of a lot of different situations. The most important about having a child is being emocional and economicaly prepared and give them the importance that they have, trying to do the best for form a good person in the future. ___________________________________________ Thank you so much!!!!
