[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had three kids between ages 32 and 36. Married five years before that and we saved a lot of money to give us a kid nest egg. It really helped. Became a GD at 62. My BIL became a Dad at almost 50 via adoption and I can tell its a strain. At 65 he has to listen to Justin Bieber and deal with the angst of a 15 year old girl. Plus he'll be over 70 when he is done paying for college. That stinks. Best age to have kids is around 28-35. Get your career going before hand, be young enough to deal with it and when you hit 55-60 become an empty nester and get on with the next phase of your life.

So, 50 is too old to have kids and too young to be a grandparent.[/quote]

Shut up. That's your timeline, hooray that it worked out perfectly for you. [/quote]

50 is too old for women to have babies.  Tinkering with nature doesn't make it better.[/quote]

In your opinion. Please add that line. It is not my business when people decide to start or finish their families so I don't judge anyone who got their baby at 50. If they have the resources and can provide for their kid and a guardian/estate plan in place, more power to them. I do judge the people here who judge those folks, though. This is very much a MYOFB situation. [/quote]

Not that PP but I think that people are talking in generalities and from their own POV they can not imagine themselves having a new baby at 50.  For *ME* a pregnancy at 50 would be extremely hard and the sleep deprivation of a newborn - no way.  But I agree with you that everyone is different and what is undoable to me may very well seem quite possible to you.
