How Old?
A sixty year old woman gave birth to twin boys Tuesday morning in Calgary, Alberta.
Sixty! Can you imagine? I feel, personally, that thirty-eight would be my maximum cut off age for having children (nice round number, huh?!) and this would probably have me becoming a grandmother in my sixties. (If my children decide to have kids of their own…no pressure! Ha!)
I do hope that this couple has close family that will help raise the twins. Sure, babies are cute and all, but they do get active and adventurous before you know it.
But then again, they say that having children keeps you young. Maybe these new white hairs that seem to be sprouting from my scalp are an illusion? Eek!
Anyhow, congratulations to the happy new parents and I hope you enjoy your new bundles of joy!
(yes, donor eggs and IVF were involved.)
I think that 60 is definitely too old to have children, and with twins, it must be extra difficult. I think that there must be a good reason why nature has a cut-off point somewhere after 40!
