Sir – Where have the young parents gone to?
As a resident of some fours years in North Oxford/Jericho I am still amazed at the apparent ages of parents with young children. The grey-haired ladies accompanied by hirsutely challenged partners, who have more the appearance of grandparents, appear to dominate the parent profile in this area, whilst other parts of Oxford appear to have more balanced age levels. I am not ageist in any way, but am still intrigued by the decision process to have children in middle age.
