i think the pros and cons are very personal to my specific situation.
some cons would be that they definitely make more bad life decisions in general. it caused a lot of stress on me growing up, but i now have problems dealing with stress to this day. another is theyre more like older siblings than parents, and they treat me as such for the most part. some would say another con is that my parents arent together, but a lot of parents arent and that has not a lot to do with age.
pros would be that theyre more aware of me emotionally. a lot of kids have trouble with their parents "not understanding" their struggles, but they very well understand things like depression and anxiety. my parents dont blow up at miniscule things because theres no big generation gap. our interests are similar too in everything. they play video games with me and listen to my music a lot. and due to their age, im able to do a lot of active things with them while in their prime physical strength. if they dont know something, or i need a more parental role in my life, i would just go to my grandparents who are normal parent age. i basically consider them my parents too because of how involved they were in my life. im saying this is specific to me because some people dont have big and loving families. more pros is that i got to be alive and have memories with my great great grandparents, and my great grandmother is still alive, which im grateful for. their age wasnt much of a problem because i have a great family on both sides who did not abandon my parents, or take over raising me for them.
@Phantom in case you were wondering for my explanation, since you replied, here it is.
also, obviously everyone has has issues with their childhood or trauma. i definitely do and have my own problems, but i cant correlate any of it to their age
