I read in People magazine that Laurie Metcalf and her hubby Matt Roth just had a baby girl via surrogate. They named her Mae. Their son, Will, is 11.

Congrats to them!

Good for them. :cheers:

Isn't she like 50 now?

Yes, She Just Turned 50 in June. Is there A Problem With That?

Didn't they also have a daughter named Zoey? She made a guest appearance in an episode where they did a flashback of other episodes (she played a young Jackie while Michael Fishman played a young Roseanne in drag and John Goodman played a fortune teller in drag)

Yes thats true except that Zoey is not Matt's daughter, but Matt and Laurie did have a boy in 1993.

Isn't that a little old to be having a child?

I was in such a hurry. :lol:

bite me, my mom was 43 and my dad was 44 when I was born, and I wouldn't have it any other way. Older parents are more settled down and ready to raise kids than someone who is barely out of being a kid herself. I am glad my parents were in their 40's when I was born instead of having parents who were 21 or under (or hell, even 30 or under... IMO, you have wild oats to sow until about the age of 30 comes along). I am happy for Laurie and Matt, She's at an age where she's got her priorities in check.

is it just me or did seeing that laurie metcalf was 50 shock anyone else? not sayin that anythings wrong with it but it almost made me feel old lol i mean dang it seems weird cause i just watched the ep of her having andy and its kind of funny cause hes 11 its just so weird

Congrats to her and her husband on there new baby! :baby: :clap :crybaby:

Congrats to them!! :woohoo:
I read that she had the child via serogate(sp?) mother.

Yeah, Squidgett. That was clearly stated in the first post.

sry, i have a tendency to skim postings rather than reading them extremely carefully. i guess i just missed that.

Fifty is not old. It used to be old at one time but the again 30 was old at one time. 50 is not old.
It may be an explanation to why she used a surrogate but she still looks like she is capable of taking care of a child. Women are having children at an older age then they used to. Many women are having children well into there late 40's, as long as there body allows them they are having children.
