I was the last one out - my parents had my brother at age 19. 40 is young - I think a lot of people who have children at such a young age want to catch up on some missed experiences. Especially if there were a lot of lean years.
My parents finally had some disposable income and a house free of kids. They absolutely never made me feel unwelcome and we spend tons of time together now, but they definitely had a different relationship with me than I have with my young adults (19 and 21) .
