My kids are 23 years apart in age – I had my youngest at 45, people can be judgemental but I’m so grateful
ONE blonde mom gave birth 23 years after she had her first child.
The YouTuber with over 76,000 subscribers gets trolled for having her youngest at 22 and her oldest at 45.
Patti Avery Schmidt (@pattiaveryschmidt) honored two of her beloved children in her recent video.
Though the haters judge her for their age gap, she’s proud to be the mother to two beautiful offspring.
The loving mother sat behind her camera, thinking about her pregnancy journeys.
Patti has four kids in total with her husband she’s been with for 30 years.
People told her: “22 is too young to have a baby.”
But she didn’t care, and Patti had a son who’s around the age of 30 now.
The trolls didn’t let her go unscathed when she had her youngest, either.
When Patti was pregnant with her daughter, people said: “45 is too old to have a baby.” Again, she was unbothered.
“I’ll take both,” she said. Now, her oldest and youngest are closer than ever, and she couldn’t be happier.
Other mothers related to Patti’s experience and shared their own in the comments.
“I was 26 when I had my 1st daughter and 45 when I had our second…all naturally, no complications,” one mom said.
An honest woman wrote: “I had my baby girl at 22. Everyone was worried for me because I was so ‘young!'”
She continued: “It’s NOT the age it’s THE MOTHER she to the baby that matters!”
One detail-oriented individual pointed out: “Wait, if she had that little girl at 45, then she must be around 50 now . . . Looking amazing.”
A pleased mom noted: “I had my 1st at 16, my 2nd at 19, and my 3rd at 22. I wouldn’t change a thing because they’re 32, 35, 38, and I’m the happiest 55-year-old married lady.”
“Thank you for this. I’m 40 and would love to have a child,” an inspired woman said.
