If you're fearing dropping down and dying before you reach a ripe old age you'd never have kids.

Well, it sort of sounded like you didn't given you mentioned how risky it was for her to have a baby in her 40s since "people die in their 40s Niamh!". People die any time, so unless at risk of dying from old age or a terminal illness, it's a silly thing to throw at someone for having a baby. There's no reason for a relatively healthy 44 year old woman not to be able to raise that child into adulthood and be around for a long time.

no reason at all, equally she may not, snd she cant rely on Dad being around now can she, selfish pair who know there is a 90% chance their little lad will attend his Dads funeral by his 10th birthday, lets hope he is not too attached

Why would she need to rely on Dad? Many people get by just fine as single parents with a lot less cash than she has so she won't struggle financially either.

It's sad for the kid to lose their father young, of course, but there's no reason she'll be left in any kind of desperate situation.
