Have a family dinner and break the news to all of them at once. If you tell one before the other then it could cause ill feelings.
Also by telling them all at once.....you only have to get the nerve up ONCE.
Some of them may be happy and some of them may not be.
Especially since it is with your neighbor You may hear things like "damn mom don't you know about birth control" or "damn mom, with the neighbor" or "what are you thinking about? pregnant at your age"
The list could go on.
Ultimately the decision is YOURS on what you want to do with this pregnancy and do NOT let anyone push you or guilt you into doing anything that YOU do not want to.
The question is ....Are you happy about it? Are you wanting to be a mother again at this age? Are you willing to have this man in your life forever? Is your health good enough to have a baby at this age?
There is soooo much for you to sit down and really think about. This is a mind, body and soul altering situation for you.
Do what is best for you and this child......Not what is best for anyone else.
Hopefully your grown children will come around and support what ever decision that you make.

I would invite everyone over for dinner so I could have them in a nice,calm relazed setting and open up the discussion with typical light-harded stuff and then just ease the news into the conversation ever so smoothly. It's better to get the news out now because eventually,it won't be a secret much longer. You could start it off with that there is going to be new member in the family soon and let them know you are happy about it. Honesty is always best.

You aren't the first granny to become pregnant.
I'm sure this news is going to come as a shock to all the kids. I'm shocked & you aren't even my mother!
Assure the kids that YOU & this man have every intention on raising the child, not pawning it off on one of them. Neither of you are married to someone else, right?
Ps. You know for sure. I mean, it couldn't be a 'going thru the change' thing?

well just remember...no matter how old your kids are...you are still the parent. and it's not going to make any difference once they see that baby. they will fall in love with him/her any how.
congrats and enjoy being pregnant again. at least you have plenty of experience to fall back on..............good luck
