They are, in every quantitative and qualitative measure, far more well-adjusted than the poor children, like yours, who had no choice but to grow up with literal children as parents.

By what measure? I was 42 and my wife was 40 when we had our daughter who is now 13 and headed off to full time pre conservatory program in violin next year. Well adjusted, sensitive and empathic, I can’t think of any way in which she’s ‘weird’ Certainly not by any conventional definitions of the word.

My experience is that kids from older parents are wise beyond their years, and tend to be far more well-adjusted adults.

(Or maybe we shouldn’t generalize like this…?)

The weirdness comes from the social disparity and disconnectedness from peers their own age due to different social attitudes from parents.
The generalisation comes from the observation that older parents tend to lead to less progressive attitudes.

I'd say that's an unfortunately rare outcome.
Perhaps even a "weird" one.
