NO, I'm not Flashy, but these silly women get on my mammaries.

The Menopause happens for a reason.....it is nature telling you that middle of the night feeds and teething are too much for an ageing woman.

Wrong, wrong, wrong.

I'm sure a child would have benefited no end from her foster care. That route should have been exhausted if she had such a parental urge.

Ah, that's why I ended up divorced!

Re: would you start again at 66?
 

I agree with what you're saying, but what about men?

Is it just a design fault, that in theory they can carry on siring children until they drop....or until it drops off?

:D

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.

Well, the man's role in procreation is quite minor......leave a deposit and that is it.......men do not carry a child, are not affected by the hormonal changes of pregnancy(except perhaps second hand)........do not give birth, or breast feed.... do not suffer the indignity of pelvic floor problems.......(let's not go there)and if they do have any hands on skills they are, in the main, quite limited....in short they are not the main carer for a baby/toddler/child........and in my experience most men let mum get up with the tinlid when they are teething or running a fever or are just plain restless........OK, there may be some of you men out there who do a bit more.....but from what I have heard from younger family memebers and friends it doesn't really amount to much.

So I think it is just a bit different for men....and if they really wanted to, a man can just leave his deposit and then.......leave....no emotional attachement.

Re: would you start again at 66?
 

It must have been hard for you living with that kind of man. Why did you not get rid of him if he was so useless?
