I'm glad it's sorted for you and would also be wary of contacting your IP if they make comments like that. You're on the home straight now so good luck for the remainder of your IVA

I was a bit of a shock to my parents as well - they were 44 and 46 and had been married for 23 years when I was born and thought they couldn't have children! 34 years ago that was old! My nan's only comment when they told her they were expecting me was 'Well you've left it a bit late haven't you?'
That's a lovely story Skippy - and I am sure you brought much joy to them both. My own Mum was 42 when she had me, and in 1964 that was deemed to be very old too!
My mum was 29 when she had me in 1953, and that was positively ancient then!
She never had any more though, and it wasn't until I was pregnant that she told me the reason why - she couldn't stand the pain!
I was 34 when I had my daughter and was classed as an 'elderly primigravida' (old first time mum!)

My mum was was very ill when she had me, and was told that if she had any more children it would probably kill her, hence I'm an only child.
The sad thing was that a couple of years after I was born my had had the first signs of his MS, and was diagnosed when I was 4, so it didn't work out as planned for them.
I am so fortunate that both of my parents are still going, albeit not in the best of health, but still here.
I am dreading the day something happens to either one of them.

It's been 10 years since my dad died, and every now and then I still think that I must tell him something. It's only for a split second and then the thought goes.
I still openly converse with my Dad, and he passed away 21 years ago when I was 23. You think that you are quite grown up at 23, but I went to pieces when he died as I was such a Daddies girl and as an only child I expect quite spoilt - not on money I hasten to add because there was never very much of that in my family, but on love and education which was priceless. It is funny when you lose someone close, as they never seem very far away - I bet you feel that a lot too Skip?
I am very, very lucky to have a close family. Like everyone else I suspect, we're all busy with our own things and we rarely get chance to meet up altogether but everyone rallies when needed.

I'm an only child too, as is Skippy, and my parents rely on me and hubby for a lot of things. They drive me mad sometimes (especially Dad!), but I do so dread the day they're not around anymore, and at 85 for mum and almost 81 for dad, I know it's not going to be far away.

My Dad passed away 11 years ago next month, my Mum is still going strong, Hubby is an only child and I can see the difference of the responsibility he has towards him Mum who is mentally ill than I have towards my shared responsibility towards my parent.
I think my husband is under too much pressure from his relatives in respect of his Mum and do all I can to help but there is only so much anyone can do x
