[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You’re not having another child in your late 40s. You’re too old now.[/quote]

That stood out to me too.  Late 40s, wtf?!?!  She wants another kid at almost 50?

This is such a troll post.[/quote]

Age 48-- has the baby.
50--toddler getting into everything, adorable but a huge amount of work. She figures she'll farm that out to a nanny during the days, maybe? 
55--second grader, wanting activities, I guess the nanny drives and OP doesn't really see the kid that much. Dad? What dad? 
60--has a middle schooler
66--child is graduating from high school and starting college
66-70 -- child is in college (and OP today has no idea how much she will still be involved with, concerned about, helping out a college age kid)
70s -- OP loves her kid but might resent that she spent from 58 to 70 focused on her kid, just as she now resents spending 18 years focused on her ex-DH

That's reality but OP's post smacks of newfound freedom after a long marriage to the wrong man for her, and she's high on that freedom and not looking ahead practically.

My mom had an accidental pregnancy at 48 (dad same age) and she’s the opposite of resentful and loved adding my wonderful sister to our family.

I don’t get why people think that it’s more desirable to have 40+ years solo just getting old during retirement. What else would OP rather be focusing on? Her kayaking group and running club? You can still do those things with kids…and, in fact, having a child later in life would likely help her stay energetic as she gets older.

My parents are in their mid-70s now and still incredibly active- zip lining in Argentina, teaching at a community college, biking overnight trips- and both look and feel so much younger than their ages.  I’ve witnessed it firsthand and truly believe there’s some correlation there with their good health (some studies actually back this up, at least for advanced maternal age / evolutionary need to live “long enough” to raise a child). But I know I’m obviously biased! [/quote]
