I know a lot of people who think they are too old to have children, and they are infecting my household. Because they have their opinion and I have mine, I want them to think about a few things.
So I ask you this: would you (potentially) rather go to your child’s graduation or wedding in a wheelchair or would you rather live with the knowledge that you killed that baby due to abortion? I know what I would choose, because the regret of abortion is unfathomable, believe me.
And sure, you could die before you see your kid have kids, but you could also get hit by a texting driver tomorrow!
The time you are spending griping about this issue could be instead spent exercising or researching and purchasing some awesome vitamins, minerals and other healthy supplements. Put down the fried chicken strips and pick up a salad, people!
This whole thing might seem silly when you’re 100 and healthy and your kid is 50. Hey, John Travolta and Kelly Preston just had another kid at ages 56 and 48. Yeah, I know they're rich, and they have a lot of amazing potential guardians to choose from.
If you know someone who had a baby over age 40, please send them here to comment. I’d love to know the good, the bad and the ugly (and the positive and the miracles!).
I think that it is important that the child is loved, cared for, and nurtured first of all. As far as the age thing goes...to each his own. Personally I do not want to have any more children. I am only 38 years old and this is my choice, but it not based on the fact that I think that I am too old. That is ridiculous! I think as long as the parents are healthy and try to keep their energy up they should be fine.
