My mom was 39 when I was born, my dad 42 (I was born on his birthday)..Some things were more difficult for all of us, I suppose, but I always felt loved and cared for, so no complaints here. They were also an emergency foster care home for babies and toddlers up until my dad died at 72, with police often bringing little ones over in the middle of the night (sometimes more than one), and they did a great job. I was 21 when my daughter was born, nearly 31 when I had my son. I was much more prepared for parenthood at 31, it was a lot easier. Now, I wouldn't want to go thru it at 66, even if I was healthy, but if this woman has spent her life up to now doing her own thing, maybe she's better prepared now than she would've been at a younger age..? I just hope it works out well for both of them..
