Of course, I'm sure I'll offend someone with that, too. The older parents (over 30ish) that have been here have had more kids, or been around a lot of kids, etc. and new what to expect. With the experience comes the understanding of the consequences of this kind of thing.
I was 20 too!!! To this day I have never had clients older than me! So I do sometimes feel they don't take me seriously maybe because of my age, but I do happen to know what I am talking about! Although I was an uptight first parent, I don't think it was an age thing as I have had many, many parents a good decade older than me who are even more neurotic than I ever was!
