[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's selfish in that the older two will end up parenting the younger sibling and managing aging parents . Most likely they are just trying to hold onto their youth and marriage as their only identity is parent.
I wouldn't do it intentionally, but not my life.[/quote]

The older two should be in college, but even if they are living at home, they should be attending school, working, and living an independent life, rather than being at home taking care of a baby.  This should be a non-issue.

A baby is a blessing.  If they are in good health, have a safe and loving home, want a baby, and can financially support a baby, then their baby is probably better off than 90% of children in America.  I have several friends who had kids in their early 40s, and they've been wonderful parents throughout all life stages, from infancy to the teenage years.  There are pros and cons to having a child in your forties - the pros of older parents usually include financial stability and wisdom.
