My wife has actually been having some ups and downs with it, mainly due to the daughters-in-law, but with one just recently giving birth to a baby boy who weighed in well over nine pounds and took 23 hours to deliver, and the other who is again pregnant, fighting nausea and then food poisoning, there's just been a lot of emotion and pain and so forth, even though I manage to miss most of it (I have a detached office to hide in).

So, anyway. She's enjoying the grandchildren, but the interactions with their mothers are up for grabs at any given moment. :)

re: six months older

Well, even I am getting to the point where I don't need to be reminded of how old I am. Except sometimes the body complains that it must be older and therefore being able to say I'm actually 20 years younger than what it likes to think I am is actually a good thing. :)
