    My uncle was 62 and my aunt was 54 when they had their 1st child. They had their second 3 years later. It was not the best situation for the kids as they aged. Years of teasing at school and as time went by it was so much harder for my aunt and uncle to cope. Luckily they were wealthy enough to hire help, but the kids still were effected by it all. When the youngest turned 18 my uncle was 80 and my aunt was 72.

      Kids will ask, are they your grandparents? Then there is also this wide generational gap. Not going to be easy.

      I’ll like to share my story. My father married late when he was 48. Despite his age, he was still youthful looking at that time. He had his first child when he was 49 after marrying my mom who was 20 years younger than him.
      Then they went on to have 6 children. 😅 When we were in primary school, my dad was already in his sixties and his hair already turned white. All my classmates would say my dad was my grandpa whenever he visited my school. We grew up into adulthood with people around us asking why our dad was so old. I must say we were not much affected at all and would gladly introduce him as our dad. However when my mom was in her fifties and my dad was in his seventies, she felt embarrassed and would refuse to go out with my dad as her friends mocked at her for having such an old man for a husband.
      My father was the best father I could have although he had us late. He knew it wasn’t easy to father children and raise so many of us when he was almost reaching retirement age. Fortunately he was financially sound and we didn’t have any monetary issues. He kept himself active and exercised everyday to stay healthy so he can have the energy to keep up with 6 children. He made sure all 6 of us go as far as tertiary education in our local universities and get good jobs to provide for ourselves.
      While we were growing up, he didn’t take a cent from the government to provide bursaries and financial aid. He paid for everything using his income and savings. We never received private tuition at all but did well in school. Some of my siblings went on to receive PSC scholarships because of their excellent academic performance. My father was really amused but grateful to the government.
      Now we’re all grown up and married with families. Even my husband’s grandmother was the same age as my father. My dad passed away at 91. He was the best father I could ever have. He is a good testimony that anyone can be a great parent even when they are advanced in years and still have a full and fruitful life like any young parents. Although he did not get to enjoy his grandchildren, he had fought the good fight, fulfilled all responsibilities a parent should and led a meaningful and full life. His legacy will live on with us. ❤
