Dear Massi, I am expecting my first baby in two months. 

But I am horrified to find out my mum is pregnant too. My mum is 42 and she already has four kids.

The thought of it makes me feel sick plus it’s just so embarrassing.
My cousins are all laughing at us and making jokes behind my back.
Her grandchild will be older than her own child. Have you ever heard of such a thing?

Massi says, As horrified as you are, the focus should really be on your mother here.

Your mum is still young and having a baby at her age is certainly not uncommon.

Rather than allowing cousins to mock this, you should be celebrating this good news with your parents.

You may well think it is strange but some families do go through this. So, try to be there for your mother and I’m sure she will appreciate it.
