Re: would you start again at 66?
Every time I hear about a case like this I am convinced the woman in question has to be stark raving mad.
This woman is the same age as me. Now I suppose if I'd never had any children I might have this rosy idea of how idyllic it would be to have a child. I have, however, had 3 children and 2 grandchildren so I live in the real world, where babies are concerned. OK, she's going to have a nanny. Outside the royal family and the very rich it's rare to get a nanny who's on hand 24 hours a day for years and years.
The lady says she's very healthy. Yep, she probably is right now because she's never had broken nights with a teething child or caught every known germ from a toddler who brings them home from Nursery on a daily basis. Wait until the day she's playing with Junior on a beach or in a park and she gets a sudden Senior Citizen's twang in her back/leg/arm/whatever - and it will happen - or she falls asleep over lunch because she only got a couple of hours the night before.
I would predict that when she's 76 (and Junior is still only 10) she will feel and look more like 86 and poor Junior will probably be an orphan before he/she is 21. How sad.
