re: Anyone here have a dad that was old when they were born?

Theo Von's dad was 70 when he was born.

I’m just shy of 69 and have a 21.5 year old son. He kept me young is all I can say.

Dang, I thought I had it bad being 58 with a 19 year old kid, you got me beat by quite a bit.

Hat's off to ya

Dad was 42 when my youngest brother was born. He died suddenly the day after my brother's 21st birthday. (Dammit, I miss him!)

My maternal grandmother was born in 1915, her father was 67 at the time of her birth. Her mother died in childbirth so the old man had to rely on help from his older daughters to help raise her.

I work with a guy who is in his early 60s and just had his first kid. Seems kind of unfortunate for the kid because the likelihood is less than 50% he'll ever see his kid grow into an adult.

My parents were pretty young when they had us. Mom was early 20s and dad was mid to late 20s. I had kids in my 20s also.

There are positive and negative aspects to having kids young as well. You have plenty of energy but you are usually not making much money yet. I guess having them older is pretty much the opposite. Sweet spot is probably early to mid 30s for a man.
