My DH is 51. He has friends from college who are grandparents so to him, it isn't an insult. People make assumptions based on what they know and see, and in our unique situation, they are wrong but he doesn't find it insulting. I have overheard DH saying to a clerk who asked if he liked being a grandfather... "well I am sure I will when my daughter has kids". The clerk kinda cocked her head to the side and said "oh..."
DH says he is proud of his young wife (I'm a "wet-behind-the-ears" almost 38... young right!) and DD, feels blessed that he was able to have a family when he didn't think it was possible. Our inside joke is that in less than 4 years he will get a discount on things like food and hotels, all the while our kids will be able to stay at certain hotels for free. What a bargain!!! THen we'll really be able to save for college. After all, he'll be retired with one or more kiddos in college. That is the scary part!
