Who would have thought that at the age of twenty-two I would become a big sister? Let me start by saying that five months ago my mother and I moved to another city.
Right after she arrived, she met a guy almost my age. And recently I found out that my mom is pregnant. Everyone expected me to bring grandchildren.
My mom is 48 years old. She divorced my real father when I was still a little girl. I don’t even know how to react to this. I still can’t take the news calmly. It turns out that if I ever have a child, he or she will be quite a bit younger than my siblings. Although I’m not planning to get married yet, let alone have children.
My mom’s mother-in-law is two years older than her. My mother’s fiancé’s parents suspect that my mother has had this child. Of course, they are not very happy to see such a woman around their son.
I don’t call that man the father, it makes me uncomfortable even to think about it. I don’t know if I would have dared to get pregnant at that age. Although nowadays it is possible.
My maternal grandmother is also not very happy with this news. I wonder what it would be like to feel like a young mom again, like twenty-two years ago. What is your opinion on having children at this age?
