[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]50s with kids in elementary is pretty old. I had my youngest at 39. I will be in my 50s when he is done with school and I can readily admit that I will be pretty old, definitely older than the average parent. But, I knew what I was getting into.[/quote]

If you had a kid at 39 you'd be 51 when they are leaving elementary school...[/quote]

Having a kid at 39 in my town would make you a very young mom or dad. I had my last at 45. My good friend had his first at 49 with his 42 year old wife and to my suprise had three kids the last one at her 47 and him 54. He lives in a super rich town where second and third wives are common. He is actually a young dad. He has Dads in their 70s in the elementary school.

It is all perspective. No one bats and eye Bruce Willis, Alex Baldwin having kids at their age. Janet Jackson had a kid at 50 and Halle Berry had one at 47.

BS.  Or do name the town.

My buddy who is older lives in Malibu. My town we have a lot of lawyers and doctors who start kids later. Or second families. My neighbor she had two kids with first huband then after a few years met second husband and it was his first marriage and the have two more. She had kids in their 30s and kids who are young teens.

I will be 67 when my kid graduates college. So what. I am young, cool hip, no gray hair and still working full time. Steven Tyler at last nights VMA awards from Aerosmith looked pretty similar to when I saw him in concert in the 1980s. He is 77 now. Age does not happen equally. Or prez is 79 with a freshman in college.

Nobody wants their parents to be that old.  A 54 year old dad will be 75 at kid's college graduation.  Assuming he's still alive.  (And I say that as someone whose father was 50 when I was born, so have some idea of that that entails).[/quote][/quote]
