age difference bw your child and their partner

[marmamiaa]

Just wondering if people would be worried if their 25yo son went out with a woman who was 37 and then she accidentally got pregant. I know, I know but they'd been together over a year and she was on the pill.( he should have used a condom blah blah but after a year if you don't trust your partner it isn't much of a partnership!)
Not sure what to make of it really. She is lovely, my DS is 90% adorable and 10% lazy/a bit agro. She is gorgeous but very intense. Her parents are thrilled. I'm still thinking but what is done is done.
Any opinions?
I've never met her parents, so it's all a bit awkies.
Will be the first GC on both sides!
I'm leaning towards just hip hip hooray. Babies are a blessing. I have no idea about the finances and I live 2 hours from them and her parents. I guess we can sort it.

No of course not, they are not living at home or anything and live independently, they are adults, it's up to them.

I think you've got the right attitude, just be positive and hope for the best and offer what support you can.

My DS is 29 and still not mature enough (in my opinion) to be a parent. But maybe that's me looking at him through a lens of knowing how he's grown up? Fatherhood can be the making of a man - although sad to say, often it isn't.

I wouldn't necessarily worry over the age gap itself, it's obviously been working so far.

No point being anything but pleased and supportive.

Congratulations.

I'd not be happy but would pretend I was. In fact I'd be gutted just as I would if I had a daughter that age seeing an older man.

He is an adult .
His relationship is up to him.
All you can do is be a supportive grand parent.

Not quite the same age gap, but Dh was 21 when we got together and I was 28. We got married and I got pregnant with our first baby at 24/31. In retrospect, it’s quite a big age gap at a really big time in life and I’d be pretty freaked out if my 21 year old was thinking about marriage and children! We just happened to be very well suited to each other and ready to crack on with life. And it worked out just fine. We’ve had a very happy life together and now 2 dc who are primary/secondary school age. He is still more mature than I am, just like he was at 21! 😂

I'd be gutted. Sorry, it's just too much of a difference imo.

I bet Victoria Beckham is praying Cruz doesn't get in this position but I think she's too late too.

I hope it works out for them/you though.
