I feel very badly for the 11 year old.....HOWEVER what does one expect when having a Child at 52 or 53??? Good grief!! And is this a harbinger......oh never mind.
“HOWEVER what does one expect when having a Child at 52 or 53???”
A blessing from God?

I’d definitely recommend have kids earlier. I’m 55 and my son will be 4 in 2 months. I have no idea if I’ll be at his High School graduation. Kinda’ sucks.
I agree with your amazement that someone would do such a thing. The photo shows someone who looks like her grandfather, not her father.
Some people just don't think ahead.
My father-in-law married at 45 and had eight.
Great family.

These things happen, and when they do, they are a gift from God.
I had 2 at age 66 (by adoption), they had lived with us since age 8 & 9 (bro and sis) age 12 and 13 by the time we adopted them. I'm pushing 69 and in good health, I'd like to live long enough to see their children - God willing.
The picture posted of the little girl and her father is heart breaking.
Do you see anything selfish about having a child later in life?
Wow. So happy to be here. My daddy was 53 when I was born. I was so blessed to have him for 20 years. He was a WWII veteran, a child of the Depression, a later in life Christian. He was an entrepreneur. He was a missionary. He was a pharmacist without ever stepping foot in college. He graduated from high school two years early. He worked until a few weeks before cancer took him. I think he would have said the same thing about men having children later in life, but my mother wanted children. So here I am. And so very blessed. Thank you for the reminder. :)
