I had a great grandfather who got remarried at the age of 73 to a young woman aprox 20.. He had with her 8 children, having the last one at the age of 90. He lived to the age of 93, a few days after the upsherin of his youngest son. He was a reknowned tzaddik and when his 1st wife passed away, my grandmother wanted to marry such a tzaddik. Interestingly enough, her father was a wealthy man, and she could've married a young budding talmid chacham but she sacrificed everything to have the zchus. Just shows us the mindset of the shtetl yidden of yesteryear.

Geeee... lemme see. Oh, I KNOW! We're discussing a story of a person having a baby in late age so it came to my mind? 
Besides, what made my post get your hair in a frizzle? look around at other threads, how they all get derailed to the most random topics.

And a man fathering a child at 73 is very different than a lady carrying a baby at 60. Thats why I couldnt figure it out. Thats all. My hair isnt in any frizzle.

I am so happy for this lady. that is all.
If you don't think it's right to have a child at that age, then don't.

I don't think her hairs in a frizzle-- it's far extension from the original topic. It's a nice anecdote though

Actually what got MY hair in a frizzle from your post is that Imamother is supposed to be an outlet for us women. Instead I find alot of times women nitpick on every little word. There was a post not long ago "what school did you go to", there was one amother that had nothing more constructive to say then "whats the point of this thread" Like, seriously girl. CHILL!
Then there was this post "Why dont parents watch their kids" it was about this dad that didnt buckle in his kids.. All of a sudden it became a discussion if one needs to consult with Daas Torah or not and your response was "And this here is exactly why not everyone asks rabbanim everything.
Just because a rav said something does not mean he cant be wrong. Rabbanim are NOT G-d. They are infallible human beings"
Talk about derailing..

Tumors are highly contagious. It's quite possible that the cancer spread to other parts of the body already.

I get the opposing arguments: that some people are desperate, they have good intentions, life is always a precious thing, there are no guarantees any of us will live to see tomorrow, having kids is always selfish, etc.
But I still think having a baby at 60 is wrong. |
I hear you.
But is that true for every situation where the child will have a difficult life? I have a paraplegic quadriplegic neighbor whose husband is severely disabled as well. Was she selfish to have children ?

Please can you elaborate on what it was like for you? How old was your mother when she gave birth to you? I'd like to understand more. Thanks.

Chas v'shalom! Let's hope not. May I suggest that no one pass by that post and this without saying a perek of tehillim or brief tefilla, in any language.

I'm sorry but I think it's ridiculous to have a baby at age 60. Not fair to the kid.

Everyone yearns to have a baby. Some never give up. How can I blame her? I do hope the mom will live until 120 and have strength to raise this baby.

Hopefully there is a plan in place to take care of the kids. If not, then yes it would be selfish.

She has full time help, but I'm sure the 60 year old would get help if and when she needs it too.
