Reply #51: Are you sure you two are not just giddy in love & fantacizing about

[southerncrone]

playing house like youngsters?

When the honeymoon is over & you've got an infant & 20 years of serious parenting ahead, will it still seem like a good idea? When this child graduates from high school, you'll be about 64.

As another poster indicated, what happens if love-of-your-life bolts after a few years? Who do you think will be responsible for raising this child? If something happens to him, will you be capable of dealing with this responsibility.....physically, emotionally, & financially?

Just some questions you need to ponder on before taking this HUGH step!
Like jumping off a cliff....once you do it, there's no going back.

My personal opinion would be no. I'm 53, have a 22 & 20 yr olds. You have your child grown, too. Now is the time to ENJOY your freedom. Why not enjoy THAT with the love of your life. You may also have grandkids come along before too long. I'm sure you'll want to enjoy them.

THINK LONG & HARD ABOUT THIS DECISION.
