Rich, retired, and well-rested before starting? Those kids won the lottery.
Pretty awesome we live at a time where that can be a realistic choiceÂ
Shout out to Cameron Diaz for having a normal-looking face!
Tbh, Iâm more surprised about Benji being younger than her lol, I thought it was the other way around
was the child born via surrogate?
I support them but it must be hard to be that child and know your mum will be 70 before youâre even 18. Itâs not just about staying alive, it hurts to see your parents age and change and theyâre going to have to go through that at a very young age.
I’m being nosy here but did she carry the child? or did they use a surrogate or adopt or something?
It takes more than money to raise a kid. Sheâll be 71 and Benji 65 when this kid wraps up high school. Having kids at that age because youâre bored is a joke, idc.
I feel sorry for the kids. you graduate high school and your mom is 70 yrs old.
By âwork hard for itâ she means pay a surrogate 3 times
But was it just through surrogacy lol
I cant imagine. We had my youngest at 34/35 and I’m fucking tired, man.
The thought of dealing with a toddler at 53 makes my lower back ache.
I feel like 50s is a little too late, because youâre older (physically and such), possible complications, and they wonât have much time with you compared to if you had a child at 35. Although she has money and Iâm sure theyâll have a good life despite the age.
Iâm exhausted just thinking about it, Iâm a few years older than her and I wish her well. I couldnât do it. May she get her 107 years!
I grew up with an older mom. Overall, I think it was good even though I’m struggling now being young and having to deal with elderly parents. But growing up, my mom was a lot more relaxed in certain areas than other parents around me and offered helpful advice about life and career stuff.
âWork hard for itâ = Pay a poorer woman to carry her eggs for her. Paid surrogacy is not ethical.
As someone who had a baby at 39, I sort of get what sheâs saying. But I think 53 is too old.
You donât always appreciate things when youâre younger in the same way you do when youâve had the time to experience life a little first and settle in.
She waited till she had a legacy and lots of
I kind of hate the idea that a woman in her 20 or 30s also can not actively “work for” their children and make an active choice to have them. I know multiple women that struggled with infertility and went through years of struggles to have their children with a lot less resources than they have.
I mean she had a surrogate for all the kids, and will likely have all the help that money can buy. So it’s not as hard a choice as it would be for the rest of us…
Honestly, as long as she leaves them enough money to be set for life and tries to raise them to not be so snobby despite that⊠I say itâs fine.
I guess Iâm kinda jaded though because my family is a bunch of people that had kids at all different ages with bad parenting and no money⊠so Iâd take a good parent (assuming) with a lot of money in exchange for her dying when Iâm still young lol.
Must be nice to exploit women of lower socioeconomic standing to expand your family. Nothing screams ruling class like outsourcing the risk of pregnancy so you can further your career.
As someone who lost their dad when he was 69 and I was 19, it matters much more that your parents are well adjusted people than that they live until you are x age. I don’t regret existing just because my dad had me at 50 and died fairly young. That argument does not hold water in my experience.
Wow sounds difficult to be extremely wealthy and have kids
