Hmm!
There are some advantages of having older parents.Such children tend to be more mature in outlook and have more aspirations than their peers.
However some find it embarrassing and are sometimes the targets of bullies.Also there can be more conflicts about disciplines and freedoms to pursue newer trends that the older person might not see eye to eye with.
My sister-in-law was the youngest of three.The eldest was 14 years older than her the second 7 years. She was born when my mother-in-law was 48 and her father was 54.She seems to have taken it in her stride.Mind she is the brightest of all three children(the eldest ended his teaching career as a headmaster) and has had the drive and ambition to set up her own publishing firm now worth millions.
Frankly it depends on the situation.I think as a society we do tend to concentrate of having children too early in life.Far better sometimes the stability of a settled down couple in their middle to later years than some parents of 18.
Incog.
