    i don't want to ruffle any feathers or anything ... but ....

    I was born when my dad was 37 ... or maybe 38.

    I got taunted in school coz my dad was old. In secondary school especially, he was remarkably out of touch.

    hmmm

    When I was 10, he was only 48. I was already being taunted for it.

    ....

    flip to my friend in the Phils. I was living in the same subdivision as a man - a white guy, whose wife is 23, and the guy is 68. Personally, ... that's a massive age gap, but whatever - their life.

    ....

    anyway ... so the girl gets pregnant right? In like 8 years, the dude dies and the girl is a single mother.

    That's a great way to love your child, right? Be so old when he/she's born that you die when he/she's in his/her formative years... the child is 8 years old and daddy dies of "natural causes" or Old Age. Great dad.

    Sorry for being so blunt. It's just my view.

    thanks for listening.

    im eldest in family and father died when i was 2 years old not from old age (he's just 22 then) but from accident..we grew up without a dad beside us but then we were loved by all of our friends, relatives, and family and supported us as we growing up...i know it had been hard for mum but look at the bright side...she was not left alone by my dad she have us and she's happy having us (good remembrance from my dad) ...having a kind of life i have right now (my husband and baby) is more than enough to thank my dad for bringing me out in this world

    just sharing my experience here

    Well if the kid when it's born can't go out to hunt it own food, then it's not the parents fault

    It's not that long ago that humans were lucky to live till 40, most fathers died around the age of 30.

    In the animal kingdom it's usually the oldest male that mates with all the females, so all you guys would still be virgins while your dad/grandad was still putting it about

    ... oh dear, James ... MY daughter - 41 next Sunday - was 37 when she had HER firstborn. She was already 40 when she gave birth to her second child. I hope her two kids don't have to endure what you'd to go through ...

    ... conversely, I became a father when I was barely 25 - an ideal age in my opinion - and it goes against the NATURAL order of things for s of 60+ to take up the mantle of parenthood again at THEIR time of life. I for one, certainly wouldn't want to - and - in so saying - could well find myself ruffling more than a few feathers too. But, as I mentioned in a previous post on this topic, I guess it's a matter of couples choosing for themselves.
