Come here so I can smack you – Part 5
July 5, 2008
Image via WikipediaPerhaps it is just me. I can barely understand why a woman in her forties would want to have a baby, let alone a woman in her seventies.
Yup, you heard me right. seventies. A woman in India is now the oldest woman to give birth. Spending their life savings (and also taking out a loan) on IVF, she and her husband had twins. Twins! At 70!
Imagine chasing two toddlers in your seventies.
Imagine dealing with two teenagers in your eighties! (OK, now I am dizzy and I need a drink.)
And all this, just because they wanted a male heir. (Although, if they spent all the money, I am not sure what affairs the boy will have to handle, but what the hell do I know?)
Feel free to pop on over to the BBC to read all the gory details.

@ Fiesty Charlie: they key words in your passage are “my mom was 20″ Not that fathers don’t have a huge role in raising children. I am big fan of fathers. I’m just saying there is a big difference between a 20 year old mom and a 70 year old mom.
