Being a parent after 50... (26)
Mintaka: The other day I heard someone say:
-‘A kid needs a mother, not a grandmother’-
That got me thinking, is it right or is it wrong to become a parent at this age.
Isn’t it a bit selfish?
Enlighten me with your wisdom.

I personally wouldn't fancy it
But a healthy, fit, 50 year old could be more able than an unhealthy 30 year old.
People are living a lot longer now too.

Some people choose to wait until they are done with College, they've paid their mortgage, but is it fair on the child to wait this long?
If the kid says : 'Mommy lets go play.'
and the mom says: 'Wait until I grab my cane and my hearing aid and ... etc
Is this people being selfish?

I once knew a family that had 16 children in it and the parents obviously were having them into their 50's. Also, my father has a child of 13 and he is 73, which means they had her when he was 60. It has kept him young. It depends on the persons health and genetics. There is a lot to be said for a person's wisdom after 40. :) I say sure, if can, go ahead, but only if you have parenting skills. Age does not mean you have skills. Too many people will quicker go to the doctor when they have an ingrown toe nail but won't put as much effort into taking a parenting class. Acquiring learned skills may sway you one way or the other when you see what good parenting is.

Certainly bit like " Obstinance - Younger parents are also found to take a greater interest in the lives of their children. This is probably because older parents will die sooner and see less of their child's adult life. Or maybe it's because older people are a spent force:
Why not pick up on his deliberate slight towards older people? Do you consider yourself to be a spent force?
My realistic answer to the question if the lady in question is healthy and of childbearing age, in a good relationship...so why not..lets look at Simon Cowell.. 50 plus...but oh yeah forgot about the little 300 million nest egg so child safe...and if your really a pessimistic person why bother having kids as the world will end any way with all the fruitcakes knocking about around the globe...jmho
