Watching Father of the Bride 2 with my two kiddos. I’m still in my 30s (for just a little while longer).
Anybody slip one past the goalie in their 50s? 60s? |

Never had a chance. After my wife had our last kid when I was 42, she said no more.
 My grandpa fathered my dad at age 47 though, so it does run in my family. |

I'm 51 and my youngest is 10 we have 2 grandchildren that are 1 and 2 wouldn't change a thing although I occasionally joke that we'd be home free if we didn't have the last one but he brings an unbelievable amount of joy to our lives I can't even explain it

The only people who worry about getting pregnant "too late" are the same people who are still fucking their spouse after age 40. Those people have different marriages than I have. 😳

Ex-wife and I had our late twenties. Felt like the right time in life.
Sadly though, the longer a man waits in life the greater the chances become his sperm can produce offspring with issues like autism and sensory disorders. |

I did at 55, my 2nd wife is MUCH younger than me. I’m so glad we did.
He’s almost 17, a HS Jr. He just found out today that he scored 34 (out of 36) on his ACT. He scored 1,450 on his PSAT last year, he doesn’t have his SAT score yet from this year. He’s scoring in the top 1% nation wide. He hopes to be a National Merit Scholar. He’s very conservative and grounded like his mom & dad. He’s leaning towards aerospace engineering. He keeps me young. We ride dirt bikes together, shoot together, and he’s a gear head like me. |

Awesome on all you older parents.
Thought my wife and I were having them old at 29-34. Three in a row! Last one was an awesome surprise for me at 33. After that, I was snipped, sutured, clamped, and cauterized. Turns out we were the young parents in our area. |

Almost 40 and wife is due next month. I’ve told her every time after the 2nd that we were done after that one. Here we are years later and I’m sure she’ll try to talk me into just “one more”.

I wont win....but I will be 50 next year and my much younger wife is due in a few months. I have a kid from my "Starter Wife" that will be 20 around the same time.
Here is where it gets wild. My father, who was almost 70 (and I look like him, he is my dad) once worked for a Civil War Vet. Seriously, I was raised by some folks that were almost born in the 1800s. Here we are in 2024, and I have second hand accounts from the CIVIL WAR!!!!! My son, (its a boy!!!!) will be able to tell people in the 2100s that his grandfather could have known someone that knew George Washington. Time is a weird thing. ...and when you have a few generations of old folks fucking young gals.....  It makes for wild shit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is he athletic? @wideglidejoe He attends the states largest HS, so the competition is fierce to be on team sports. He played football thru 8th grade, and basketball thru 9th grade, but he wasn’t tall enough to keep playing. He’s just now 5’10” and still growing (late growth spurt, but I was still growing when I joined the Army). He still plays basketball in a rec league. He’s been in karate since he was 5, he’s a 3rd degree black belt instructor now, he teaches red & black belt classes weekly to teens & adults. He hits the gym 4-5 times a week, he’s pretty scrappy for his height & weight. He also has a retail job and works 10-12 hrs per week while in school, and more in the summer. We’ve never pressured him in anything, he’s very self driven. |

Oh, horse sh!t. I got 3 and it is perfect. We have traveled around the world. I am 61 and they are 6, 7 & 9. 4 kids would make some things more difficult such as can no longer travel in normal 5 seat vehicle, one standard hotel room would not be possible. |

I could faintly hear a wife's voice from the distance. "That's his father not his grandfather!" I laughed |

However, I have encountered more grandparents than parents at playgrounds and kid centered events that are my age.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By AlamTX: I have a newborn and I'm 77. An 80 year old man was having his annual checkup and the doctor asked him how he was feeling. "I've never been better!" he boasted. "I've got an eighteen year old bride who's pregnant, and having my child! What do you think about that?" The doctor considered this for a moment, then said, "Let me tell you a story. I knew a guy who was an avid hunter. He never missed a season, but one day, went out in a bit of a hurry and he accidentally grabbed his umbrella instead of his gun. So he was in the woods and suddenly a grizzly bear appeared in front of him! He raised up his umbrella, pointed it at the bear, and squeezed the handle. And do you know what happened?" Dumbfounded, the old man replied "No." The doctor continued, "The bear dropped dead in front of him!" "That's impossible!" exclaimed the old man. "Someone else must have shot that bear." The doctor replied, "That's kind of what I'm getting at..." |

In their teens, they still want to spend time together. |
