    The kids here in the UK are bullies!
    And obviously no one likes a bully.
    I'm so aware that Filipino kids are not like that.
    They have more respect to other people.
    They tend to respect you more if you're foreigner.
    ... and also treat you very well.
    So maybe it's not a downside to older fathers married to Filipinas to eventually migrate to the Philippines when you're financially stable.
    Your kids have more chances to become a model.
    ... to be an actor or something, etc!

    Some people today are so mean.
    Unfortunately, you can find them everywhere you turn.
    Just ignore them.
    When someone is being mean to you--or to the world at large, for that matter--you should realize that the problem lies with him, and not with you.

    To Steve,
    Being a father at your age is not a problem at all.
    To be honest, I think bringing up children is a lot easier now than it was 20 years ago.
    There are better childcare facilities, more reliable medicines, disposable nappies.
    It makes fatherhood much more straightforward.
    Don't make your age an issue.
    You're still young at heart and I know you could still cope with fatherhood.
    In many ways I can feel like you have an advantage over younger dads.
    You've got more life experience and more time to invest in your children.
    You can be a constant role model rather than someone who just pops up now and again to tell them off.
    For instance, Sir Paul McCartney became a dad for the fourth time at 61.

    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
    Taka care now & Bye!.... Venus

    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!!
