A father at 79!!

[piggynose]

and the mother´s 25, is this ok?

[micmak]

I reckon someone had it in for him.

So when the kid graduates, the dad will be 101.

Hope he enjoys the Graduation party !

[Greedyfly]

Who are we to say it isn't?

[piggynose]

what the father has overlooked is the stick the kid will get at school, eg whose that? yr grandad or who?

[piggynose]

docspock.. 79 poss hasn´t gone into 25, maybe it was artificial insemination, will we ever know?

[LoftyLottie]

Why wouldn't it be fine. The father will probably be dead by the time the child is 10 and the child will still have a young mother. It's no different from any other single parent family which seems to be the norm these days.

Why would any 25 year old woman want to marry/have sex with a man of 79? Sounds a bit odd to me.

[supersuezy24]

I'm 26 and you won't be seeing me with someone over twice my age...
I think there's more to this..how rich is he?

[paddywak]

He might be a 79 year old multi-millionaire

[LoftyLottie]

That's a whole different question!!

////He told the paper he first met Ms Calvert following a three-year relationship with her mother.

She was 16 at the time and joined him on caravan holidays with his children.

The pair only saw each other occasionally until about 10 years ago when she became friends with his 49-year-old daughter Denise.

Five years later, romance blossomed.

Mr Calvert, from Winewall, Lancashire, told the paper that the age gap was never an issue.////

The maths doesn't actually add up in the above quote from the newspaper.
16+10+5 does not equal 25!

I think he's already past his life expectancy, so sadly he may have passed away by the time the child starts school. And yes, it does matter, as the child won't just be the offspring of a single mother, it would have had the terribly sad trauma of losing a parent to death, not to just round the corner.

Britain's 79-year-old dad says baby 'a gift from God'

Saves paying for Viagra I suppose.

[ChuckFickens]

He claims he didn't/doesn't use viagra!

OMG the girl is pretty too, I so did not expect that.

[LoftyLottie]

Wasn't Charlie Chaplin 81 when he fathered his last child? Who are we to say whether the relationship is right or wrong. Perhaps the mother wan't a child by the man she actually 'loves'. We shouldn't pass judgement.

If it was the mother that was 79 and going through an unnatural process to get pregnant then I would think that was dreadful. But the fact is that men can still father babies into old age and, although this might be seen as old fashioned, it is still basically the mother who undertakes the majority of natural and care of young children.

[LoftyLottie]

Well he looks a sprightly fellow and young for his age and not in bad shape at all. In fact, probably more desirable than a lot of fellows half his age!

He's just a spring chicken as my Grandfather re-married at the age of 91 ! Brains had moved south to nether regions !! :-))
