Nope she mentioned that she would like to have one a few months ago. Ill give you guys an update when the baby is born.

That's pretty crazy. At that age after having raised kids, people usually want to finally start living for themselves instead of everything focusing around kids needs.

Congrats to her and mind your own fucking business.

OP, that does sound like trouble in the way you describe it. Having another child at the age of 44 would be questionable for even a normal parent. My friend went through major psychological issues because his parents were the age of his friends grandparents.

Yup exactly. For a normal person to go through with a decision like that would be questionable, aunt certainly doesn't fall into that category at all. When her kid will be 20 she will be 64, that is total madness.

And just what exactly is wrong with that? My dad was 67 when I was 20. I really think you're just being selfish or possibly jealous that she's having another family.

That has to be the dumbest response of all time. Think about what you are saying...some people have pointed that out to you a little...

Plasmabomb:

I'm 24.

Seriously, what's the problem here? She ain't 13 years old and living with her parents.

Yup, except my aunt has been living for herself since day 1, maybe now she wants to make an attempt at real/commited parenthood.

Well that explains why you were so adamant in that other thread that kids at 18 should basically need to get out on their own and staying at home seemed to be such a ridiculous thought. I think parenting teenagers at 65 is different than parenting at 45. If you're going to say you still feel that way then I'll just leave off with this... parental influence.

Having a baby at 44 is not as bad, what makes this bad is the fact of having sex without being married. What if she never ended up getting married. Something happens or w/e and the relationship does not work out. Now that kid grows up in a screwed up family where the father is not even really a father, or, with no father at all. Commitment, Marriage, THEN sex. At least that way when you have kids and are committed to your SO the kid grows up in a normal stable family. (well, not always, but at least there's a decent chance, the other way is guaranteed unstable if the marriage never happens).

:thumbsdown: You fail almost as hard as the OP.

I remember this thread. I hope you didn't make all this up.
Condolences to your aunt

Totally agree!!

Thanks. I just got the news today. Why would I make all this up? Has the ATOT community really come to people making fake threads regarding serious personal subjects?

She got lucky with this one. Women that have babies that late in life are idiots. The chances of bith defects go through the roof that late in life - and most are doing it for attention, to keep the man around, or for other reasons, none of hich are to bring a child into this world and raise it like it should be.

Your aunt is an irresponsible bitch.



Thanks for this insight, very useful in keeping the thread on topic too. I am also sure that name calling isn't out of line either.


Oh wait, it's is. Sorry you have a week off.

Great reply from someone who doesnt know the OP's aunt. You are a grade A asshole and a pile of shit.

The news today came as a shocker to me at work. My aunt, who is now 44 years old, is pregnant with her boyfriend that she intends to marry in July.

Just FYI, my aunt has been married/divorced twice already, and she has a daughter from her first husband which is almost my age.

I believe this is a terrible decision, not only because she is 44, but because she is a pretty irresponsible person in life.

I feel sorry for 3 individuals:

1. My cousin (her daughter)
2. The guy that marries her
3. The baby when it is born

Also no pics guys, but just to satisfy the mass perverts here, my aunt is very good looking.

Wtf

Your aunt is an irresponsible bitch.

By your logic, your mother must be pushing 90.

Don't be a douche bag.

No I'm not happy but to be honest I'm having "maybe it's for the best" trains of thought. Knowing my aunt it was a pretty bad idea to begin with.

And wow at some of the responses here, you guys are low.

 

[eldorado99]

No mention of how is babby formed yet?

 

[Hayabusa Rider]

44 isn't a problem except there is a higher incidence of Down's Syndrome.

If the parents are idiots, then age doesn't matter much, does it?

Well you seemed pretty unhappy in your original post about this situation so I thought this end to the pregnancy would reverse that.

Knock off the threadcrapping and asinine statements. I won't clean this up a second time.
