Hi everyone, I am 22 weeks pregnant and expecting in May 2006. This is our first child and I am 26 yrs old, my fiance is 50 yrs. So you can see we have a big difference! (smile) The age difference doesn't bother us, but I know we are kinda an unusual couple, and just wanted to know if anyone else out there is part of a similar couple, and hear your experiences with it or with having a baby? Thanks :) ↓

| Congratulations! I know Some couples in similar relationships and it seems to benefit the children and family for the man to be more mature and more stable. (hopefully he is). I dont think there is anything wrong with it and you should stop stressing about little things that other people think and start getting excited after today you have a month left!! ↑ |

Thanks for the support. :) It's just nice to know there's others out there in a similar situation.
As for you, ava, my, don't you have a very open-minded outlook for someone who is visiting an ALTERNATIVE (read: DIFFERENT) families forum. ↑ |

| My dad and his wife have a 4 year old, their have big gap in their age too. my oldest brother is 2months older than my stepmom. They get along great and my dad has not been this happy in a long time. My little sister is a ball of fire and I wouldn't trade her for anything. I am having a baby soon and so she is gong to be an aunt at 4!! The situation is a bit strange but it works!!! ↑ |

| I am 24 and hubby is 54. We got married Sept 5th 2005 We had been together about a year and on Labor Day weekend just up and went to Vegas. Our baby is due June 16th. People are smile when they find out when we got married and my due date. Sometimes people make wierd comments,one sales in a clothing store looked at my hubby and said to him "Will this be your first grandchild?" He just rested his hand on my belly and told her that I was his wife and Iam carrying our baby. She got all flustered and I am sure she won't make that mistake again. Right now just because of our dates people are trying to figure out what came first the baby or the wedding. What is important here is that your fiance loves you and the baby the two of you created in Love. People will always make stupid comments and put their foot in their mouth. ↑ |

I am 42 and my husband is 53. I was 26 when we started dating. Now we are married 15 yrs. He is mellow and easy to get along with. We have two children 9 and 11.
I wouldn't recomend any more years then ours because it is scary later when you worry about not having him there for you later in life. when I was young i didnt think of this, but the older I get the more of a concern it becomes. I mean i dont obsess about it , but it is a concern. ↑ |

| and to the person who's husband got called a grandfather, i wish i had that kind of grace about it! i get really upset still when i buy something expensive at a store and the clerk says to my hubby "you must be giving her to much allowance, my kids only get $5 a week"... or calls me miss instead of mrs. jones. i just think people should use a little more discretion- that's like seeing to girls walking together and asking them how long they've been lesbians. rude, rude, rude. i'm sure i'll get used to it after a few more years (it's been 2 so far that we've been together) ↑ |

Hi Chiana - I am a 36 year old mom of an 8 year old daughter and my husband is 56 and we are pregnant with another child, unplanned but never-the-less, we are getting excited about it.
I forget quite often that my hubby is so much older than me, until people look at us weird. It scares us both to have a child this late in life - he will be 57 when he/she is born - and 70 when the child is 13... 75 when graduating high school - it's quite daunting.
Hubby was planning on retiring in about 10 years, but with the baby on the way, that won't be possible.
But... such is life, hubby never had children of his own before and in many ways, he feels like he hit the lottery. We do love eachother dearly so... that's what is important.
My 8 year old is thrilled beyond words to be getting a little brother or sister. ↑ |

That can be a little hard on your child, my friend got constantly taunted about her father being old enough to be her grandfather. I'm not syaing this happens to all children but it can, I'm also not saying that the relationship between your child and yourself or your child and your fiance will suffer but it can be hard on the child so as soon as you get any signs that your child may be getting picked on you should jump on it.
I'm sorry that I'm saying this now when your child isn't even 1yr yet but I just wanted to warn you about this. ↑ |
