Would you be embarrassed?

what are they having a baby at their age for?

I wouldn't be embarassed but I wouldn't be happy. My parents were both 40 when I was born and my sister was a 22 year old college student so I've kid of been in that situation... It sucked growing up with old parents, my dad just turned 60 a few weeks ago....I'm only 19

I would be thrilled. It would mean that my parents are blessed and I would have the chance to experience the fact of being a mother without even being one!

I'd be happy for them. I'm one of those late babies. My oldest brother was 19 when I was born. My siblings were very excited about my arrival and ended up helping out my parents a lot when I was little. I also have a fantastic relationship with most of my siblings and perhaps caring for me as they were approaching adulthood helped them become better parents themselves.

My brother is nearly 19 years younger than I. I was very happy, although it WAS alittle strange, because my mother is 18 years older than I. So...there is the same age difference between my mother and I --- as between my brother and I! When my brother was born, I was old enough to be HIS mother!

Happy b/c I would be getting a sibling when I'm old enough and busy enough not to be a baby-sitter. LOL

I'd be happy I love babies. That actually happened to my mother in law, hers kids were grown and married and she had a baby at like 42, I don't see a problem with it all.

I'd probably feel a little embarrassed but would get over it and end up happy and excited.

I certainly wouldn't be embarrassed. Pregnancies aren't always planned and sometimes happen even though a couple was told it was "impossible" to get pregnant. I've known two people who were told it was impossible for them to get pregnant, and they both got pregnant anyway! So, life happens, you know?

i would be very happy for them.

i don't think it's something to be embarrassed about. actually i would feel really exited to have a new baby sibling and having someone to take care of. i would feel happy for my parents too

i will be thrilled. i can treat her as my baby. it would be good practice when i become pregnant

no i dont.. it is there will and wish...

I think that until faced with that situation at age 20, I wouldn't know. But, I do know that at age 36, I would be thrilled for my parents...not saying they would have a baby at this point in their lives, but my Mom has spoken several times about adoption. At this point in my life, I would be 100% supportive of them and would be one very enthusiastic and happy big sister. Keep in mind, there is a lot of difference in the mind set of a 20 year old college student and a 36 year old working professional. At 20, I wanted the universe to revolve around me. I wanted the attention and the idea that mom and dad would be putting their energy and finances into a new baby might have upset me...but hopefully, we all do grow up!

no way to feel embarased.there are many families with such a wide gap between two kids.this situation is due to innumerable factors like 1) non concieving after first child 2) career on priority 3) need for emotional support 4) physicians advise for health reasons

Wel actualy my mother did have a child when she was 39 and I was 17. I never thought is was embarrsing. I liked it. I thought I would never have another sibling. When My middle sister was born I was only four years old so I do not rember much about it but when my baby sister (who's 9 now) was born we loved her so much. My sisters and I watched her every move. We changed her and fed her and video taped every moment. I think I learned so much about babies and children from this and now I am more perpared for my own baby. My baby sister was my flower girl and I have taught her so much. I am her girl scout leader with my mother. Before she came around I was not close with my mother so she brought us together. The only thing that was weird was when my mother brought her to my graduation people thought she might be mine. So that was weird. Other then that there was no embaresment.

I think I would be happy for my folks. I really cant think of a reason to be ashamed or embarassed.
