I salute you for being brave!

having a baby/kids/children complete a family.no matter how many times you get married but having your own that counts really

[Arthur Little]

The kids here in the UK are bullies?

YOU bet ... kids can be really CRUEL ... I can testify to THAT!

Sir Paul McCartney became a dad for the fourth time at 61.

Yeah ... that's all very well ... but, to be realistic, how much interaction do you imagine someone of HIS vintage is likely to have with the child. Same would've applied to the likes of Charlie Chaplin - who was maybe even a decade older when his youngest was born.

And let's face it ... BOTH of these s happened to be in the fortunate position of being well enough off financially to afford nannies and childminders practically round the clock!!

Old fathers are three times more likely to take regular responsibility for a young child.
They are more likely to be fathers by choice and this means that they become more positively involved with the child.
They behave more like mothers, smiling at the baby and gurgling - although young fathers are probably better at getting down on the floor for physical play :D

you have a point there as they the push the child around they can use the push chair as a zimmer frame

btw your post make me smile.

Nothing! As I pointed out earlier, MY daughter was forty when SHE had her second. Even someone becoming a father in his fifties is ... well ... okay really - provided he's still got the energy to fulfil his role as a parent - but sixty plus ... ... as far as I'M concerned, anyway!

[Arthur Little]

btw your post make me smile.

glad SOMEONE'S laughing ... I'm beginning to "sound" like Dom!

[bornatbirth]

whats wrong arthur

[Arthur Little]

whats wrong arthur

... the mere THOUGHT of s "cooing and gurgling" over offspring young enough to be their great-grandchildren ...

[bornatbirth]

i have met guys who have kids with there much younger filipina wifes and they seem happy, if you and i dont agree what does it matter.....anyway i thought it was you getting on your knees to play with the kids and not being able to get back up again

[Arthur Little]

... or WORSE ... getting down on their hunkers to PLAY with them ... followed by the inevitable struggle to get back up onto their feet again ... ouch!

These days with technology a 60 yr old woman can have a baby, and when it's born daddy can play 'Who is the wrinkliest?'

[bornatbirth]

didnt a woman give birth in her 60's and a father was in his 70's

[James Hubbard]

why not just delete the post and you can leave the reason blank

Because I wanted to do it the way i did it.

[Lancashirelad]

Before i met my Gf i would have swore id never have a another baby ( i have a grown up daughter with my ex). But i know my gf wants children, and i want her to be fufilled with her marriage and life here. Now im excited for the idea of a family with her, we agreed 2 children max, and we will plan to wait a couple of years here before we try, well maybe we just practice a bit first lol

[Arthur Little]

Because I wanted to do it the way i did it.

In other words, James ... to be 'Frank' ... you "did it YOUR way"!

[gWaPito]

sorry to read your story James. It almost sounded like you regret being born because of your Dad being older than the norm. Like gparry and others have said Its not all doom and gloom ok he left you early in your life but he must of made a lasting impression on you? And what of your family ? Surely your childhood cld not of been that unhappy all because your parents wanted you. being an older Dad you tend not to be broke You tend to be more thoughtful Caring and above all else Reliable Ths older dad's are not all cripples so lets have some shades of grey not jst black and white. Lets not be shocked or surprised that our young Piny's want children Its there right

[stevewool]

iys down to each othere and saying what you are both wanting , yes its everyones right to have children , but its not everyone that can care for there child too, who knows what the future holds for any off us , its now that counts, enjoy the day and who knows what tomorrow may bring, ps, i was a very young dad i had just turned 19 and to young so a older dad may be wiser

[LastViking]

emmas needs are more important to me its just my thoughts and worrys for the long term future for emma and who else may come along , maybe i am just thinking to hard and to much

I think you are Steve. Just let things happen and enjoy your life. But I really do agree with others, it is Emma you should be discussing these things with, both your hopes and your fears.

Would truly love to be able to give my wife a baby but had the snip almost 30 yrs ago. A reversal is expensive..£3500... but only a 10% chance of working after that.. I would adopt but she says it,s not the same. Resigned to the fact now.
