That would not have been conducive to quality parenting but I would not have wanted to miss a minute of it!

Each their own and what not.

Yep. I was 58 when my kid graduated HS. My dad was also 58 when I graduated HS

My college GF has a 30 yr old son. Great kid and she’s happy but I def wouldn’t trade what I was doing in my 20s (and 30s) for that. Plus was def more in dad space skill wise but def more tired. One of my cousins had both his kids before he was 20. And he’s a grandpa now. Fuck that shit.

My oldest brother did just that, he has a 36yo, a 32yo, and a 12 yo.

I've got a buddy who's freshly remarried to a younger woman (mid-30s) upon the condition that they start trying for a kid yesterday. He's already got a 6th and 7th grader so being a parent won't be that big of a deal, but being in his mid-60s at graduation (assuming they can get pregnant right away) would give me serious pause.

Police called to yoga class mistaken for ‘mass killing’

A yoga class was cut short after a member of the public called the police to report a “mass killing” after seeing several people lying on the floor.

Participants in the class, which was being held at the Seascape cafe, inside the North Sea observatory in Chapel St Leonards, Skegness, Lincolnshire, were in the midst of meditation when officers turned up on Wednesday night.

If that happened here cops would have overreacted and ended up shooting someone

Though if you frequented bike shops when you were in high school, we may have crossed. I was working at one of the better ones in town high school thru university.

My daughter turns 40 on her next birthday. That is not amusing.

How does that happen?

Might be be amusing but that’s pretty freakin awesome. Wonder what she’ll be like then. Did she accomplish her goals? So many questions. Hope I’m around to see it.

She accomplished her goals and then some. I often say, sincerely, that she’s living the dream. Raising horses and children with a stand-up husband in the shadow of Mt. Shasta.
