LONDON (AP) - A British woman pregnant at age 63 defended her right to be an older parent Thursday, saying her decision to have another child was not undertaken lightly.
Patricia Rashbrook, a child psychiatrist from Lewes, south of London, has two grown children from a previous marriage but recently remarried and underwent fertility treatment. She is due to give birth in two months.
"We take our responsibilities very seriously and regard the best interest of the child as paramount," Rashbrook said. "And what we would wish now is to be allowed the right to pursue our family life in private." more...
I found this article in Yahoo news last week. And I have to admit I definitely don't agree with the idea of older parents no matter how well prepared they may be.
Because the sad fact is that by the time that kid gets to 18 the parents could be under the ground, as morbid as that sounds.
Unless they have a great health plan or extraordinary health. And the hardest part will be if the kid loses the parents early because hack even if you prepare for that and you have other family members to act as the parents or guardians to the kid it will never be the same. Anyway I don't agree with it that's all I'm saying.
