Do younger moms think they're better than older moms?

I read an article recently in the Baby Talk magazine about new moms versus older moms. And, I was surprised to learn that most of the younger moms interviewed (in their late teens and early 20's) felt that they are better at parenting than women who waited to have their children until they were older. This surprised me, because I had my daughter in my early 30's and thought that I was one of the young moms. Don't get me wrong, if I could have had her ten years earlier, I would have. It just didn't work out that way. But, I think things worked out perfectly. Ten years ago, I was not a patient person. But, now I've got all the patience in the world. I couldn't believe the way these younger moms were judging older moms, saying things like how it wasn't fair that we have children at all, because we'd be too old to take care of the kids by the time we hit our fourties. That's completely bogus. In my opinion, a woman can be a good parent at any age, young or old, as long as she has a loving and compassionate heart and desire to be a mom. Some of the women interviewed claimed that they had been discriminated against by younger moms because they had their kids late in life. Have you experienced that, too? I just don't understand this. Why can't moms of all ages pull together on raising our children and be friends and not enemies? Don't we have enough obstacles placed in our way by society and men, as is. Why must we start a war over something so trivial as age differences?
