He has four children—all of whom are in university.
They have just discovered that she is pregnant.
I can't believe he wants to do this, but he seems to be quite happy about it, and claims that it will "keep him young".
The warning light on my instrument panel keeps flashing "abort", "abort", "abort"—but I don't want to interfere with my brother's misguided (IMO) sense of the happiness that awaits him.
He's a big boy and money is not an issue. At least not yet.
Should I shut up and put up— or should I be honest about my views on this impossible peccadillo?
Confused in Carmel.

Congrats are in order. At that stage in his career he may have more time to spend with the kid than he did when he was in his 30s. He may be right, it may keep him young. I'm 59 and I'd love it.
