[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, he will be nearly 70 when your kid graduates from college.  That's unfair to the kid.

DH is 62; DS is 21.  DH is starting to not be able to keep up with DS. Wasn't a problem in his early 50s, but now it's really hitting him.  Not so much of an issue now that DS is an adult and can do active things with his friends, but when your kid is 12, the dad will be 60. I'm sorry, but that's grandpa age for a 12 yr old.[/quote]

And OP will be 41 when he's 60.  I'm close to 41 and 60+ men seem so old to me. They remind me of my dad, who is also in his 60s and has aged rapidly the past 10 years.  My siblings and I are already making plans for his longterm care as his health is declining. Also,  OP's  40-year- old friends aren't going to want to hang out with her 60-year-old husband, and OP won't want to hang out with the sixty-something friends of her husband, so they won't have mutual friends.  Having a shared social networth matters more than people realize.  It significantly affects the quality of your marriage.  It can carry you through bad years.  [/quote]
