[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Life may surprise you yet. My SIL and my husband’s best friend both married into being bonus parents of tweens and teens when they were in their mid-40s. They took the role gladly and my husband’s parents have embraced and included their step-grandchildren so smoothly and gracefully it’s hard to remember a time when they weren’t part of the family.

My husband’s parents went from having no grandchildren when their kids were 37, 33, and 29 - me going through IVF and 2 daughters who had no interest in being married. 7 years later they have 6 grandkids age 1-17, 2 married kids and an engaged 36yr old. [/quote]

I've seen situations like this happen all the time. Your kids are still young enough to have families, OP. My cousin got married when he was 38, his wife was 32. She had a son from a previous relationship, they ended up getting pregnant on the honeymoon and then another baby a few more years later. My aunt and uncle have always treated the stepson like their grandchild and are very close to all three of the kids. Years later, their other daughter married later in life to a man with a teenager and now, ten years later, he is having his first child. So they will be great-grandparents too!  [/quote]
