Well, personally, I don’t think 66 is all that old. But when you think of all the things her ten year old kids will want to do, she’ll be 76. Then, she’ll be 84 for their graduation from HS. Most mothers there will be around 40 - 50.

I saw her on TV today, and she is not ageing too well (IMHO). Either she doesn’t know about good moisturizers, or her genes have given her a skin type that wrinkles massively at a younger age than most.

Exactly! Well put as usual yorkie! Thats just what I am talking about. Plus the fact she lied to the doctors ...Why didn’t she do this in her late 40’s or in her 50’s? It just seems selfish to me & not at all fair to the children. I have grandchildren & I love children but when the little ones go home I am tired & happy they can go home. I love them dearly with all my heart but I don’t think I could have another child & I will be 50 next year...big sigh!

In high school, my very best friend had parents that were retired, around 70 years old as I recall. While they were very doting parents, the age gap was just so wide that it was difficult for them to support my friend in all of the ways that she needed them.

I too feel that 66 is relatively young and, quite frankly, every year I live I raise the bar for what is considered a senior citizen in my own mind. Funny how things like that go.
