Waiting?

I was talking to some folks at the park today, while our grandchildren played together. They said that they had to wait a long time to be grandparents. Their daughter was finishing her Masters Degree while she was pregnant and was so glad she finished up before the baby came. Their daughter was forty years old. It got me thinking about the fertility troubles of couples today and wondering what eggs left in the refrigerator for forty years would be like. Or in the oven set at 98. degrees. Well at least they have their homes, cars, and education taken care of prior to the blessed event. Have we done this to our children? Complaining about how difficult it was to raise kids, pay a mortgage, forget school, no time for that. Can you imagine being 55 with a fifteen year old? It makes me tired just thinking of it.
