    the fact that her husband will be 70 when her kid graduates high school (ironically the exact time when she started dating her husband who was 50) is gross

      Don’t be like that. Hate her based on anything else but 2 consenting adults well past when their brains are fully formed being together is far from gross or unethical.

      If it was 18 and 38 then yea.

          Old dads have a high probability of being best dads (assuming they aren’t shitty people independent of age). A fifty year old man is far more likely to have a stable career in cruise control (read chillin), had his fill of philandering, and is genuinely looking forward to being a father. I always think of Robie Uniacke, Rosamund Pike’s partner and father to her children. He was born in 1961 and the moment he found out he was having a kid with Rosamund, he decided to learn Mandarin and has opted to only speak to the children in Mandarin so that they could be multilingual. That’s the sort of zany shit an older man can get up to once they realize they have a chance to be an awesome dad.

          Or, you could be born to a Trump or Elon. No guarantees.
