Yawn.... Honest genealogical research shows that men fathering children after the age of 40 was not uncommon in centuries past.

Well, women having babies in their sixties.. there may be something to be said for older/wiser parenthood, but personally I liked growing up with youthful parents. Would have been odd to have a 70+ geriatric as a dad in high school..
To: qam1
I don’t care what age they “father” the children, just so long as they “support” the children as well !!!

I’m 51 and have a 5 yr old son. He makes me feel 30 yrs younger and 30 yrs older, simultaneously.

Yes, it’s been going on forever. I remember some accounts of men in their 70’s fathering children.

Tiger Woods had an older father and he’s doing alright.

He would probably be doing even better if his father was still alive.

If he’s 51 he’s a Boomer....Is this an inspirational ping?
To: Moonman62
To: qam1
But who knows how long that will last?Well, I know a certain 75-year-old.
Select about 10 young guys (say 25 years old), at random, off of the street. Give all of 'em hammers and power saws and put 'em all on a construction site with the 75-year-old.
When all the 25-year-olds are whining, panting and crying for their mamas, Grandpa will still be going strong.

Or a scary ping - after the way the boomers raised Gen-Y that they are still having more children [/shudder]
But the example is a 51 year old but the article focuses on men waiting until their 40's to have kids and since the oldest Xers have past 40 and the rest of us are on the cusp I figured it was ping worthy

I’m sure Tiger wishes his father were alive. However, professionally he’s playing as well as ever, and is now a father himself.
