... mostly because it takes that long to find a non-psychotic American woman to wed....

Well, most of us would be dead if we waited that long.

We had Sassy when we were both 41 yrs old. I was used to having 5 children, now adults. My husband was never a daddy before. Sassy has changed his life 100%. He goes on class trips, attends PTO and is very involved in everything about her, including taking her to ballet. Its sort of funny as he was a mean nasty biker before & now Sassy has him wrapped around her pinkie for 8 yrs now. He dreads the day the boys come around.

Western civilization desperately needs more children if it is to survive
****

No, we need to stop placating the PC multiculturalism crowd and stop pretending our culture is equal to others.

We either find the courage or the west will crack up.

I’m a statistic.... When my son graduates HS, I will be 58.

But don’t blame the man.... It took me that long to find a decent woman. ;)

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.

Definitely pingworthy and appreciated. BTW - our son and daughter-in-law are expecting their first child next spring...I guess I can change my name from 'Troublemaker' to 'Gen X Grandpa'. :o)

Well, I ain't Rush, but I saw myself with two at this point. I just don't have that desire now.

I have a bad tooth, and Vicodin just doesn’t cut it at my weight.

But other than that, we’re in love!

My wife is 21 years younger and we both want 1, so I will be an older but happy papa.

My father was 50 when I was born. He died in Jauary at the age of 97

Young men can die too - all of life’s a gamble.
