[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband is one of 5. I don’t remember the span of oldest to youngest, but he is 14 yrs older than the youngest. He tells a story of, when younger, the kids at the dinner table tried to make the little sister feel like a “oops” baby. The mom didn’t miss a beat and said, “it took us 5 tries, but we finally got it right”. Put them all in their place, haha. It’s all in how you frame it. Cry in private, get counseling if you want to, but celebrate in public. You will be great![/quote]

Please!  Stop with this bed of roses scenario.  I was youngest of five born after mother after age 40 and 15 years younger than closest sibling.  Two years after I was born she was diagnosed with breast cancer and died when I was four.  I have spent a lifetime wondering if my birth hastened her death and robbed my siblings of their mother.

Now. My siblings have all died.  Do not do this to a child![/quote]

I’m so sorry about your mom.  If it helps, childbearing is associated with reduced risk of breast cancer, so there’s no reason to think your birth hastened her death.[/quote]

It makes no difference.  It is incredibly selfish to have a child in your 40:s.  Children need young parents not someone who is already on the downhill when they are born![/quote]

What an inaccurate, narrow-minded, and biting thing to say. Children need parents who can love, support, and raise them competently. From your response I’m not sure you received any good lessons in manners from your young parents or perhaps weren’t provided the educational opportunities and attention required not to be a troll.
