Men 60 and over and having children

[fishlocker]

I'm 59 years old and have a 5 year old. I have taken very good care of my health, physically it is not a problem to take care of a 5 year old. We rollerblade, ride bike go to the pool. And she is the best helper a man ever had. If I am building a chicken coup or pouring cement she has her tool pouch on and is trying to help. There is no doubt in my mind that I am a better father at 59 than at 29. More patient, understanding and experienced. One more thing, at 59 years old, she is the center of my universe. She is my reason for living. That is something that a 29 year old probably wouldn't give her.

Wow tunk, sounds like your little helper is a real go-getter. And I thought I was driven, looking back I think I was at least twelve before I learned stick welding. Somehow I just can't picture a five year old on the screed. A hand trowel yes. Amazing how children can pick things up though. Good luck to you all.

Take a kid fishing. fishings fun for kids.

I'm 59 and married to a Thai lady, and fully intend to have a child with her(she want's one). I'm in excellent health and shape for my age, and yes, I would hope to live as long as possible to raise him(her). I don't see a problem. Tony Randall had kids in his 80's I believe,although that's kinda nuts

[fishlocker]

I would say furtile nuts.

I've got a mate who it happened to
One of the most serious sensible men you could meet
He regrets what happened but stands by his boy
It's very hard to look at it objectively some kids will be better off having an ageing doting father than a young guy who will leave his family in shit

[jimbobs]

Respect to the owld bastards I say for being strong enough and having the bottle to get into it.
These guys are willing to do what others do in their 20s
I won't be able to be neither at that age
Good luck to them my mother and father died at 40 and 41 and some people live active until their 90s
It's a funny old game genetics

Depends very much on the individuals involved. My twins were born when I was fifty; they're almost 17 now. I was young and fit enough to be able to do everything with them. I was also financially in good shape and semi-retired so I was around when they were growing up. Prior to retirement, about a year after their birth, I worked long hours, was rarely home other than to sleep, and was on the road frequently.

Many young fathers work all the time, or simply aren't around much for a variety of reasons - some just leave. If the father is older, and the kids are loved and cared for, where's the harm?

The above said, I personally think fathering children at 60 or beyond is pushing it. But, that's just my opinion and I'm sure there are those who do it successfully.

That's the rub
I'm not young and I cannot spend time with my kids as I an trying to feather their nest
20 years ago I would not have cared
Also it's about how you have taken care of yourself I trained but was injured regularly and got in dangerous scrapes which I feel today
Some 60 year olds have more miles left on them than 30 year olds
Genetics and looking after your body

Day one, my Thai lady asked if I wanted kids , I said not at my age, 64 , but if it happens then it would be very welcome into our world.

[Chittychangchang]

Having kids at 64! No thanks, hard enough work having them at 34!

All depends on what you can offer your kids future and be there to guide them.

You can not do this unless you are fit and healthy enough because kids are harder than any full time job if you do it properly.

[Humbert]

No kids for me anymore, fixed at 35. But I still get the hairy eyeball from asshole farangs when I take my Thai step grandson out shopping with my wife.

See, I told you he was a troll and would never even return to the thread....

Firstly, to the Opening Poster kjun12 ... as others have said, it's really none of your business what others do, what choices they make for themselves and their Family.

Maybe pose the question this way ...

If you had the chance to ask a sperm in the balls of a 60 year old this question ... you prefer to never see the light of day or to born into the world, knowing that your Dad wil be 60 (ish) and probably won't see you all the way through to your 21st birthday, but you'll have a life and a good start.


Personally, I've lived through this as a child as my Dad was in his middle 50's when I was born.

Would I have wished for a younger Dad ... sure.

But faced with the choice of an older Dad ... or no Dad at all ... boy, was I glad he had that moment of passion and gave me a life.

It appears you are not the only one to have that opinion of the OP.

From another thread ....

Kjun has been a sleeper troll longer than you

yes. he has.

I'm sure Nong Nat will knock out a couple of chavvies before Harold kicks the bucket

Ain't she already up the duff?

I don't think so. I had a brief look at the article posted and the title said she WANTS to have a child, not that she was pregnant. However, I didn't read the whole article.

[bsnub]

Damn the geezers are all wound up here..

Easily trolled or guilty conscience?

[terry57]

On my last trip to Ubon I spotted this guy in his thirties dragging along this younger girl and a kid.

He looked like a bag of shit, the Kid looked the same as did the girl. I could see that this guy was living on a shoe string.

The girl would of been much better of with a crusty old fuk with a fist full of dollars.

No doubt about that at all.

[DJ Pat]

My dads mate turned 68 when his new Thai wife got pregnant
He'd known her about 7yrs before they married.
Happy as fuck, she's obviously accepted the inevitable

His elation will give him an extra few years, my dad reckons.

Hi David. I miss the pics of your twins.

Look's like they are very healthy, happy and strong.
I'm sure he'll fill you in on the details.
Good luck to him.
Those fookers on the other channel had him over, typical.
Never known anyone to post more sincere quality content, we are fortunate to have him on TD.

It used to be that children got their inheritance in their late 20s-early 30s. Now the poor sods are in their 60s, still living at home in their 30s as they can't afford their own place. If you see them into their 20s that's about right.

[DJ Pat]

Didn't Sting say he wouldn'ytbe letting his kids inherit fuck all because he wanted them to work for themselves?

Mean fucking bastard

Those kids were probably the result of all that 6hr tantric sex he used to boast about.

If I had a wife like his I'd take 6hrs

I agree.

[garyk]

I'm a grouchy old bastard. I like my freedom and being able to pick up and fly or go where ever I please whenever I want.
But, a lot of guys love the family life and want to re-live there youth. Not my cup of tea, but different stroks for different folks.

[Dragonfly94]

Kids need fathers- not grandfathers, up to the 50's I think is the limit, after that you need to think about the kids life more than yourself. Having kids in your 60's or 70's is just selfish IMO.

[DJ Pat]

Many men are reliving their youth after a bitter marriage back home, many have grown up children, also many blokes also crave responsibility
