[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Of course every story is different, but when I hear of an older mom having a baby on her own, I recall the sad story of playwright Wendy Wasserstein and her daughter (born when Wasserstein was 48, 
left an orphan seven years later).

Yes, of course this is sad, but what does it have to do with Hoda? Parents die all the time, but people keep harping on about age as if there’s a direct correlation between the mother’s age (of course it’s always the mother) and her age of death. Women live into their 80s and 90s and beyond, so someone in their 50s isn’t ancient despite the handwringing of so many. All this drama Is tiresome. Instead of feeling happy for her and her children, people like you and other PPs seem to be waiting for her to die so your little theory can be proven and you can shout ‘I told you so.’ [/quote]

I don't think it's fair to the child to take this on, especially if there is not a strong support network/family nearby. It's a fact that you're more likely to die before your child reaches adulthood if you become a parent at 50 than one at 30.[/quote]

Show me your facts.[/quote]

How is this even a question? The older you are, (past infancy), the more likely you are to die!

So dramatic. Yes, we know you're more likely to die the older you are, but that doesn't mean you WILL die if you're older. Age isn't the only factor.[/quote]
