[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is not fair to your children to have them so late in life.  When your child is in college, you will be in your 70s.  As a child of old parents, it is not fair to your child.  [/quote]

Ahh, the truth comes out! You are bitter because you mom/dad did not meet your needs and you blame them and all older parents. Maybe your parents just didn't like you? I certainly can understand why they wouldn't like you.[/quote]

Well you're a raging asshole, aren't you?  A good friend of mine had parents this old.  It was odd.  They were much older than everyone else's parents and got mistaken at school events as being her grandparents.  When we were in our early 20's dating, establishing careers, and having fun, she was dealing with parents whose health was failing.  When we were all getting married in our late 20's/early 30's, she was arranging for assisted living for her parents and selling their home.  So yeah, there are some compelling reasons why having parents old enough to be your grandparents is not the best scenario for a child.

There are lots of people in their 40s becoming parents. Some even got pregnant the old fashioned way (gasp).  Its not as "odd" as you make it out ot be.  [/quote]

Give me a break.  I am 35, TTC#2.  I may very well have a third and I would likely be pushing 40 at that point.  There is a big difference in terms of overall and reproductive health between 40 or 42 and 50 or 52, and you damned well know it.  Likewise there is a big difference between 62 and 72, as anyone whose parents are getting older, or who has watched their grandparents decline - knows full well.  Stop being so simplistic already.[/quote]
