Dear Queenie,
I’m in my 40s with 2 teenage children and I just found out I’m pregnant again. I’m very happy about this, but my husband is upset because he thinks he’s too old to be the father of a baby and the teenagers act as if I have ruined their lives.
Queenie, how can I get them to share my happiness?—Change-of-life mom-to-be
Dear Mom-to-be,
Remind your husband that you did not get pregnant all by yourself, he also had something to do with it. Hopefully, he will soon get used to the idea.
As for your children, hopefully they too will get used to the idea soon.
If you remain happy about this pregnancy, hopefully (again) your attitude will be contagious.
