I am 41 and my husband is 43. When we were first placed with our little man (I was 38) someone did ask me that. I was very upset.  But before I turned 40 I became a grandma to the best grandson in the world (imo). And now I have a daughter that is younger than my grandson. We really confuse people when we all go somewhere together. Our oldest is 20 and our youngest is almost 11 months.
