Way too damn old to have kids!

LONDON —


A 67-year-old woman who became the world’s oldest mother when she gave birth to twins two weeks ago has been publicly attacked by her own family.


The brother of Maria del Carmen Bousada de Lara said that the family was “mystified” and questioned whether she was capable of bringing up her sons, Christian and Pau, who were born in a hospital in Barcelona.


Manuel Bousada de Lara, 73, said that his sister traveled to America for IVF without telling her relatives the reason for the trip.

He said: “My mother would roll in her grave if she knew what my sister has done. She would ask: ‘How are you going to bring up two boys at your age?’”


Staff at the Sant Pau hospital said the boys, who weighed 3.5 pounds each when they were born, are doing well but are still being cared for in incubators. Their mother visits daily.
