Cathlete
New Baby
With the sudden revelation of 57 & 59 year old women giving birth to twins, and no doubt others who are equally that age or maybe even older giving birth to single children, the following story seems to have surfaced at an interesting time. With all the new technology regarding fertility, a 65-year-old woman was able to give birth to a baby recently. When she was discharged from the hospital and went home, her relatives came to visit. "May we see the new baby?" one asked. "Not yet," said the mother. "I'll make coffee and we can visit for awhile first." Thirty minutes had passed, and another relative asked, "May we see the new baby now?" "No, not yet," said the mother. After another few minutes had elapsed, they asked again, "May we see the baby now?" "No, not yet," replied the mother. Growing very impatient, they asked, "Well, when CAN we see the baby?" "WHEN HE CRIES!" she told them. "WHEN HE CRIES??" they demanded. "Why do we have to wait until he CRIES??" "BECAUSE........ I forgot where I put him."

Yeah, funny, but sad at the same time. I find it just NUTS for any woman in her 50's+ to have babies!!!! I'm in my mid-50's, and you couldn't pay me enough money in the whole world (even with Donald Trump making his best offer) to have a baby now! I don't discriminate - I also think it's nuts for older MEN to have babies, too(no smarty remarks - through their female wives/partners, of course).
 
That is sad and funny at the same time. I can't imagine my mom (who is 53) having a baby right now. That would be weird!

I'm thankful that I had my last at 30. Can you imagine having to chase around a 2 yo when you could be a grandmother? (Well, if you are in great shape like Cathe- how old is she anyway? late 30's?- then it wouldn't be too hard.) I don't want to be really, really old and in a wheelchair trying to enjoy my grandchildren. I have two friends who had children at 46 years of age. This was a first and only child for one of them.

oops...sorry about rambling.
 
At 50, I get tired just thinking about it. Having just got the last kid off to college, I can't imagine being tied down and sleep deprived again. I loved it once, but.........:eek:

I remember trying to get in a workout around naptimes and grocery shopping, and cleaning, and walking the floor at night with a baby....;-)

My son#1 has a girlfriend I really like. I hope they get married and have the babies someday. Not me. Done.... been there.... nope.
 
I'm 38 and I'm tired just thinking about it! My girlfriend was a grandma at 39 and her daughter is expecting another this summer so we both get our "baby fix" without having to raise one all over again!

I'm 42 with two teen-aged girls and a 7 year old son. When they started school I was a young mom; now I am one of the older ones. I admire the youth of the beginners but not the part where a rugrat is hanging on or in need of chasing. It was fun when it was fun but I prefer the more sedate pace of my life with older kids. Having teens makes number three a breeze. Built in baby-sitters are heavenly.

Tell me, what it is you plan to do with your one wild and precious life? Mary Oliver
 
I am 35 and my hubby and I want to wait another 4-5 years before we have children. So, I'll be at my kids' high school graduations and the 30-something mothers will ask, "Which one is your grandchild?"
 
LOL--very cute! Thanks for the laugh!:+

Real funny. Personally, I think that the older you are, the better parent you will be. I dont mean like people in their 60's having kids...more like in their late 30's ad early 40's. At this age, i believe that person's are more settled both homewise and careerwise and can efficiently manage a baby. JMHO.
