Six months is either very premature, or there was something else going on prematurely.

My point is not to throw stones; most of us have something similar in our ancestry.

Very very very common a few generations ago……and admirable.

Back in the day this was the accepted way of doing things.

Yep. Even in Hollywood.

So what? Nancy loved him ferociously, even if she was a little batty. She wanted to be First Lady and Magnus delivered in spades.

She also created two vicious numbnut kids -- one a hippy biotch, and the other a simpering f@g, so mixed record there.

I mean, you have to be of extremely low character to call your own mother a whore and yourself a bastardette in order to make a few shekels on a book deal.

Well if she was born 6 months after they got married, then this is pretty obvious. Back in the day this was the accepted way of doing things.

Yep, it was called taking responsibility for your actions and doing the right thing.

I just wanted to make clear that the couple had been engaged to marry when the sex took place that led to Patti’s birth.

It was not a marriage that wasn’t already in motion.

A divorced man in his 40s getting engaged to a woman in her 30s and then having sex, is surely not anything but typical.

It may be “typical” (or not), but it’s still premature.

And it’s not cause for throwing stones, as previously stated.

I think we’re talking past each other; making points that don’t contradict.

I just thought that your phrasing contributed to the idea being sold that the Reagan’s were merely dating and then had to get married when Nancy was discovered to be pregnant.

Since they were already engaged to marry, then they were already heading to the altar when Nancy became pregnant.

Ronald Reagan did very well by marrying Nancy.

Patti Davis will regret her latest comment—very soon!

Patti and Ronnie have always been weird and stir the pot to be this counter to their father. Ronald Reagan was a good man. No man is perfect. I believe the words of Michael Reagan over the birth kids any day.

Adult children unhappy with their own life like to write negative stories about their parents. They never learned the ethics of growing up, which is that after a certain point an adult can push all their childhood baggage under the bridge, forgive their past and move on, on their own.

Give me a dollar for every marriage that ends up with early babies and I will live in wealth.
Get lost, Patti.

True-but their adopted son Michael was the gem

Who does Patti think will buy her book? No one who respected, much less loved Ronald Reagan.

Even so, is this supposed to shock the sensibilities of today’s society? Or is the fact they stayed married over 40 years the scandal in her mind?

Diseased spawn doing what she does, now that Playboy has no use for her.
