How old do you reckon all the other Monsters are? Yes Star, Gerson gives that bit of lore in the post-game dialog after the True Pacifist Ending.

If you go down to Gerson's Epilogue dialog, and click Show, then go to "Is Asgore a Goat?" You'll see the statement I'm talking about [//undertale.wikia.com/wiki/Gerson https://undertale.wikia.com/wiki/Gerson]

Gerson is specifically talking about the nature of Boss Monsters here. And the only boss monster child that we know exists, at least at this point, is Asriel.

--- I see thanks for that, I was just wondering about how old particular Monster characters seeing as the overall Monster population seems to be quite small all things considered.
 * [Is Asgore a goat?]
 * Eh?
 * Goat?
 * Actually, that reminds me.
 * Toriel once wore a flower-patterned muu-muu...
 * Folks kept saying “nice muu-muu” to her, but she kept thinking they were calling her a cow.
 * So she never wore it again.
 * What was the question again?
 * Oh.
 * Right.
 * ASGORE.
 * He’s a real interesting type of monster.
 * The strongest type of all.
 * We call ‘em Boss Monsters
 * When they have an offspring, the SOUL power of the parents flows into the child...
 * Causing the child to grow as the parents age.
 * But ASGORE doesn’t have a child.
 * So he’s been stuck at the same age...
 * And probably will be forever.
 * Huh?
 * What if the child is a human...? What?
 * Nah. That wouldn’t work.
 * So if ASGORE’s your father, he’ll definitely outlive you.
