Oh, relax. I'm sure I'm living my life in ways that are considered a nightmare to others (Ex: I was a teen Mom). The argument has validity, whether you're comfortable with it or not.

Then you should know better than to ask dumbass rhetorical questions. Unless those are the only kinds you know.

Were you using birth control?

I am in my late 40s, had naturally conceived children at 40 and 43 and my gyn has told me I need to stop using hormonal birth control at 50, as the studies supporting safe use end at that age.

Congratulations and I wish you lots of energy and a good sleeper,

What a blessing that would be for a couple looking for a child. There was a thread here not too long ago with an OP seeking a family and several responders talking about their want for a child. Touching.

That is my biggest nighmare, the women in my family are very fertile and my grandmother had children late (51) and my mother was able to get pregnant into her 40s. I use an IUD and still will not have sex during my "fertile" time because I terrified of becoming pregnant.

I'm 41.

Was that really necessary?

It was an oops baby. OP, just give the kid to your kid to take care of. Lie to the child. Problem solved. Oh, and make money off of it by selling the story to Lifetime. I would watch.

To the person who said it wasn't fair to give OP a "math lesson", you must also remember that OP (a) started this thread, so she's opening herself up to math lessons, and (b) said "Ask me anything."

Why adoption? If you are in a good relationship with your husband, why not "keep" the baby as your own? You have 3 older children who could become guardians if something happens to you or your husband.

What do your older children think?

Step one for you is to look up the meaning of rhetorical.
