It's the modern medical age. Women give birth in their 50's. Leave it alone, unless you want to be vilified for attacking a man's children.

Kids are a beautiful thing. I will never criticize a man for having children.

I commend you.

So, let me do it.

These are "vanity babies"-- "narcissitic childbirth" "Me-mommy me-daddy" had through complicated means with no thought that children in their late teens and early twenties might need a healthy mom and a dad, too. Consider that they have a grown daughter, and could have adopted older children.

You also see this with an old guy married to a sweet young thing--she's gotta have her baby to cement the marriage. Since he's getting what he deserves, he's helpless to stop it, and enjoys playing grandpa but not being mistaken for one. That she'll be a young widow with a grown child, but not an independent child, does not interest her.

I will never criticize a man for having children I wasn't criticizing a "man" for having children. I was wondering how a woman of such advanced child bearing age could do it. I'm sure it's not unheard of but it's not a common happening.
