Think its wrong due to Elton age, he is grandad stage now off life and time little one reaches 20 Elton will be pushing up the daisies, just so wrong it beggars belief.

Elton could very well still be around at 86, and David is 16 years younger, so he'll probably still be in the land of the living at 70.

Age doesn't matter if they love the children.

We take care of ourselves , more so since our grandsons came on the scene, because we have this obligation to be as healthy as possible so we can be there for them as long as possible, with the support of our extended family.Surely it's best for children to be raised lovingly within their own family, whether traditional or not , rather than be lost in the system ?

I've always enjoyed your posting style momma and your post confirms that you are just lovely. xx

She's a wee darlin'.

I wouldn't have a problem with your post had you given an indication that its your opinion.

I want health and happiness for everyone involved and that is my stance on the matter.
