I can’t fully articulate why.  I’d probably feel replaced and like my siblings and I weren’t “enough” for him.  I’d be concerned that he wouldn’t have enough time for me and my kids.  I’ve always been my dad’s baby and I’d grieve the end of that.  It would be disorienting to see my dad as a peer parent rather than the big strong authority figure I grew up with.  I’d be embarrassed to tell people I have a sibling younger than my own kids.[/quote]

With that type of attitude, I wonder how you got over having siblings at all, what with them replacing you and you not being enough and whatnot.

And you'd probably think dad was selfish and crazy if he told you he's concerned you are getting married and procreating because then you wouldn't have enough time for him.  Oh but that's right, dad is supposed to be available for you whenever you feel like it, but if dad, say, insisted on you coming over twice a week and claiming some of YOUR time, you'd be like oh no! get a life![/quote]
