Is that too old to be a dad?

Yes it is.. I am hoping this was a surprise pregnancy and not intentional. He will be 75 when said baby will be graduating hs . 80 by the time college dun (assuming 5 yr program). and doubtful he will be attending the baby's wedding

Oh but he will be a wonderful father If this child is planned, wanted, and loved, more power to them

[Gen]

very much planned. apparently they worked hard to achieve this.


well, they will probably have a night nurse and/or nanny so he will still get his 10 hours of sleep nightly

awesome! I hope it'll be a house full of love.

They will make great parents - matured and most of all can afford to take take of the child. I don't have a problem with elderly folks having kids better them than the 14 - 20 year old who are having most of the children these days. I, of course, would not have the patience for this.Tony Randall I think and Anthony Quinn had children when they were quite old then again they have the money for 5 different nannies and other helpers.

so far no jokes about whose diaper gets changed first.

Kia yu dry bad

When a 60+ year old woman decided to have a baby nuff people on ya blasted her.. This post represents the sexism that goes on when parenting..

A child needs both parents and it is extremely selfish for any human to think in their late 50s on that they will be able to raise said child till they are fully grown.

So basically it is selfishness dat im want fi carry him dna forward to be raised by nannies

feh!

[Gen]

am wondering if the wife probably pressured him into it

he had been married before I think, with no kids from that union

[Suesumba]

fi carry him dna forward to be raised by nannies

feh!

sperm donor maybe?

[kia027]

sperm donor maybe?

men regenerate sperm every 77 days and if he has a slow swimmer fertility doctors use ICSI to pull the sperm and unite it with the egg so it could be his dna

[Suesumba]

you're very knowledgeable Kia, what is a ICSI?
