To simply wish Victoria Coren Mitchell and family all the best

[concernedmumhelp]

-without being particularly jealous or judgemental
-however old or young any of them might be
-whether or not IVF was involved
and so on

It's a new life

and no one has the perfect formula for parenthood

Good luck to them all

Hear hear

There's an existing thread on this.

Yes, but it's along the lines of 'I can't believe how old she is' and 'Anyone past 35 shouldn't have a baby'.

Why are you surprised? I wouldn't want a baby at 51.

I'm not surprised, simply stating that the theme of the post is very different from this one.

Kinda just proved the point of the OP....

I think babies will come about, whatever way…

Well, best wishes to all of them and sympathy to the parents, who won't have the energy of younger ones!

🙄

I think no threads at all would be optimal

Fair enough, but at 51, people will judge.

I think those sniping know deep down that VCM will have access to the best support and care and has a better chance of a healthy, long old age than most of them.

They also know her kids will have access to better opportunities than 99% of our kids.

I think this bothers them a bit hence the attempts to piss on her chips. Whether individual posters couldn’t handle a baby at that age in their circumstances, is irrelevant to VCMs situation which will be vastly more privileged and comfortable than their own.

Well there are already 10000000000 threads about this so starting another one is ridiculous

I’m almost 50 and childless and would be absolutely fucking delighted to have a baby at 51. I bet they’ll be great parents.

It's a fact 51 is too old. Doesn't bother me what a total stranger does. Why are YOU so invested?

It bothers you enough to come onto this thread and shit all over it.

They have a much wanted child to join their family of three.

Not at 51. IVF or frozen egg. Selfish selfish selfish.
