As a male it's a bit hard to know that much about female grooming trends, but I guess your situation might be quite normal. Middle-aged people have gotten used to shaving, and have no problem with shaving everything off. However, from what I know, quite many women in their twenties or thirties have grown their pubes back in recent years. I know that especially many educated women like to have some hair down there. I would say it's more trendy to have pubes than to be fully shaved these days, and in that sense it's actually you who's "hip".
I'm a 30-year old Finn, so I'm not an expert on this issue, but from my own experiences I think that older women like to keep their private areas in a tidy condition nowadays. I'm now in a relationship, but I had a couple of flings with older women last year when I was single. I had sex with 4 women who were in that 45-55 age range. If I remember correctly, the oldest of them was 53 and the youngest 47. Two of them were completely smooth, and the other two had neatly trimmed landing strips. I shouldn't generalize too much, but I got the impression that middle-aged women aren't that much into pubic hair. However, I don't know how much that varies depending on the culture.
Anyway, when older women shave and wax actively, then it can often mean that the daughter is the hairier one in the family. And probably quite often both the mother and the daughter are hairless. I have also lived in the Netherlands, and there it was really common to see fully shaved mothers with their shaved adult daughters in local spas.
