[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]While I would not start my family at 50, he will be 70 when the kid graduates high school. 74 when the kid graduates college and 80 when the kid turns 30. My mother in law is 75. She is annoying AF but alive. My grandmother is 92. (So if Anderson lives that long kid will be in his 40s and many people in their 40s lose a parent).

My mom died when I was 11. Another pps sister died when daughter was 2. There are no guarantees that you will have a parent until you are 65. It’s just not a thing. He has the resources to make sure he is not a burden when he gets older (which is a huge issue for people in the sandwich generation). The kid will grow up with love and resources and will as ok as if he dad had him when he was 34. [/quote]

People talk about this one lived until 87 and this one until 95. In my family everyone claims the elder was sharp as a tack even when there was a known diagnosis of Alzheimers. The chances go way up after 65/70 and 75. Living long does not mean living independently and of sound mind. Yes, anyone could lose a parent anytime. However the older you are, the more likely to lose it and/or die. Stats are against him. If he had done this in his 30s I would have been much more impressed.

It's an interesting time for sure because the people I know who decided to become parents on their own in their 40s are now scared to death of developing Covid and in one case her back up parents have backed out due to a cancer diagnosis in one and serious autoimmune issues in the other which are disabling.[/quote]
