I don't really know. It depends on the maturity of the parent's and their relationship stability.

However.

My parents were 38 and 50 (yes, twelve years apart) when I was born.

They were fantastic parents and I couldn't have asked for anything better. They had a lot more life experience then younger parents, and therefore (in my opinion) were able to make smarter parenting decisions.

The only problem with older parents is they will not be around to support the child as long as younger parents. I have accepted the fact that when I am 30 my dad will be 80, however this was not easy to accomplish. My parent's age stressed me out a lot in my childhood.

This is just from personal experience. I have friends with young parents who are happy and well-parented. I also know of people with young parents who's marriages were rocky or who weren't ready for kids and therefore have had difficulties.

I would say overall that it depends on the relationship of the parents and their ability to parent children, more then age, which is technically just a number not a measure of parenting ability.

There are advantages and challenges to having both old and young parents. Older parents may bring wisdom and life experience, but could face health issues or limitations. Young parents may have more energy and be more relatable to their children, but may lack some life experience. Ultimately, the quality of parenting is more important than the age of the parents.
