I hope you are ok OP xx
I haven’t RTFT but I can imagine as I have seen it all here before and I would just say to the negative Nancy’s…what is your point? If your point is that being an older parent or the child of older parents isn’t ideal, then we’ll…duh…we can all see that but unless you’re suggesting that such a child would rather not have been born or is suicidal due to it, then why not make the best of things and emphasise the positive like we should do in all areas of life? And if you are in fact suggesting that the child would rather not have been born or live, then respectfully you have bigger issues than parental age. People are born into and live with all kinds of trauma and still cherish their chance at life and make the best of things.
I am the child of older parents, never knew my grandfathers, and by mid teens I had lost both other grandparents and a parent. I myself due to severe medical issues when younger am now an older parent, and I do worry about it and about the problems that will come with it. I went into it eyes open, with worries and sadness that I couldn’t do it earlier, but with determination. Because do I wish I had never been born? Of course I don’t, don’t be so bloody ridiculous. And given that I, and all my other relatives from these long generations, live with love, resilience and humour. Not everyone has the chance to do everything at the ideal time, that doesn’t mean you don’t make the best of things and find joy in them.
As a genealogy fan I have noticed women tended to marry and just give birth regularly until their mid forties, it was just the natural norm. And most, actually all of us, including many with young grandparents and who are young parents to their own perfectly timed children, wouldn’t actually exist at all if women somewhere along their direct line hadn’t given birth over forty. Life, including your children born when you were 27….come of that reality.
