If you have a baby late in life remember you are ready to go to bed just about the time the kid gets a fever, pukes, starts crying for no reason,wants to play, wants something else to eat (but doesn’t know what) gets diarrhea, throws a temper tantrum, and absolutely is not going to go to sleep…..and you can’t give him or her back to her parents to deal with it cause you are it!!! Unless you have a Nanny which will cost you plenty. Have them while you are young so when they grow up and blame all their problems on you , you can claim you were young and just learning but you know better now and that gives you the perfect chance to tell them just what they are doing wrong raising your precious grandchildren. Your Arthritis could just act up at the same time that you don’t feel like babysitting. Faking imcompetence works also.

I married for the 2nd time at 40 to a woman 39 (her 1st). It took some trying, a couple misscariges but we had a beautiful boy 10 years ago when I was 43 and my wife was 42. He is the focus of our happy lives. Hang in there, live your life, don’t look for love and let it find you and it will in spades!!!

I had triplets at 44. Most of the moms who have children who are my kids age are 10 years younger than me. 10 years means nothing to a child – I had more money and wisdom and time to give them than my younger counterparts. Do what you want; thatis why we are here. We aren’t living our lives to fulfill someone else’s expectations. I don’t think the ‘dying when your children are young’ argument is a good one.

I see nothing wrong with having children at 40 – it is your choice, and having children could be a great enhancement to your life. More women are having children after a career, so I don’t think it would look strange. However I do work with a man who is 40 with only one living relative, his brother… his parents had them late in life and he feels very sad and alone in the world. But people are living healthily and longer these days so who knows.

I am the second child of an older couple (My father is sixty, and my mother … we don’t say her age, but she’s eleven years the junior of the ‘old fart’). Although my parents are rather ‘eccentric’, they are the most astounding people I know, even in their later years. In response to you question about a ‘cut-off point’, I would say the only thing that should stop you is when you hit menopause, maybe even after (i.e. adoption). Age doesn’t matter with parenting, only instinct and love. Of course, that’s just my opinion.
