Older parents can be tired and less observant, but probably less intense especially if they have older children. They can also be grumpy and annoyed with having to deal, especially with teenagers.
On the other hand they are often less uptight and more thoughtful in their responses to problems rather than reactive. Older parents may also have more time for their children, which can be a big plus.
However from the children’s perspective they may feel cheated that they do not have young, super active parents like their friends.
There are definitely advantages and disadvantages to having either one - younger or older.
