Godson being pursued by much older woman

DEAR HARRIETTE: My godson is 22 years old — soon to be a college graduate beginning his life as an adult. He confides in me about his life, including his dating life. He told me that he is being courted by a woman who is 20 years older than him. She is attractive and has a good job, but I think that’s too old. He’s just starting his life. This woman is settled, but I also learned that she wants to have a child. She’s on the edge of not being able to since she’s in her 40s, but she has asked him to try with her. I am appalled. Why should a young man who is just beginning his life want to make that decision? He should be free to explore. What can I say to him to wake him up? He is completely mesmerized by this woman. — Baby No DEAR BABY NO: Ask your godson practical questions. What does he want to do when he graduates from college? Job? Career?
