Oh, wow. I was wide eyed about my 62 year old dad's 39 year old girlfriend whose daughter is the same age as my niece/his first grandchild. But she isn't my dad's kid. I can't even imagine how you feel.
Our father's wife is just a few years older than my sister. When they were dating, my dad asked me to pick him up from an appointment, which was very strange at the time. It turned out he couldn't drive himself home from his scheduled vasectomy.
Eeesh I'm sorry. This is like my worst nightmare. I am the youngest of 4 and my dad dates women (girls, really) younger than me. His last girlfriend was 20, I believe. He is 62. Why. He's not even rich! I don't get it.
My mom was talking about having another kid a few years ago. Umm, I'm in my 30s and your first grandchild is a teenager. Weird and no. She was in her 40s (she was a teen when she had me) and it could have happened but for some reason she changed her mind. Thank goodness.
That must be difficult. You were worried he was homeless for a period last year, right? (or am I thinking of a different poster). I'm sorry he shows such bad judgment.
My dads best friend's (same age as my dad, 53 now) younger brother is 11 days older then me. (I'm currently 27) His niece is 1 year younger and his nephew is 3 years younger then him. It's a crazy family dynamic.

I don't think this is at all comparable to sallywalker's situation.
And, if your mother wanted to have another child in her forties, she should've been able to do so sans side-eye.
