[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's not an advantage, but it's not a disadvantage either. Kids aways think parents are old so an extra decade makes no difference on that score. An older father who would not play catch or toss a football with their sons would not have done it at age 30 either. Age should actually make a father more patient and give him a more panoramic view of life allowing him to relize a "D" in geometry may not doom ones child to a life of desperation and misery. [/quote] You are absolutely right. I'm a 52 yo old with grammar school age kids and always play with them, take them skiing, play catch, etc. That's not a function of age--it's whether you care enough to engage them and spend time with them, at any age. And you do take the high level view of things. Frankly I am always amazed at how uptight the younger parents get over the most minor stuff. Probably because they haven't distanced themselves from their own childhoods yet. [/quote]
