Yeah Mike....it's like the slow drip...the Chinese water torture...always quietly in the background !!
Dave, I have been through all the potential Medical dangers, she is 44, and long time between pregnancies is not a good prognosis.
I am nealy 60 and I full well know the risks of Fathering a child at my age........never mind the issues of having a teenage child push me around in a wheelchair, while I dribble into my napkin !!!!
I will continue to genly work away at the negatives, and keep re-inforcing the positives, of not having more kids...but its gonna be a long row to hoe :icon_cheesygrin::icon_cheesygrin:

David, I hope you have a great and memorable trip. Every time I read your thoughts it brought back mine at that time in my relationship with Gina.. It sounds like you got a good one. And those of us who have been fortunate are waiting for you to join the married ranks. Good on ya mate. Your trip is just beginning now. Am really happy for you.
Oh and the baby issue is not dead, dont for a minute believe it is. it is a scary thought and I never thought I would try for another child but she has me convinced now that it is the right thing to do. You will probably cave in to, because these women are not to be denied. Have a safe trip.

I see Gina has finally got you steered in the direction she wants you to go !!!
I get the same feeling with Ming, in that she will quietly and gently (and with persistence), pick away at this difficult (for me !!) subject.
I am a bit worried about being slowly drawn into agreeing with her...hence my nerves !! (I know that I am up against an expert here !!)
How did you cope mentally with the idea of another child ??...maybe you are a lot younger than me...and the thought of this gets me very much on edge !!
Cheers
David

as long as you can still help him or her to develop their SKILLS IN LIFE
and be there to CARE and SUPERVISE their ACTIVITIES and be an ACTIVE
PARTICIPANT in their LIFE then you are not to old to father a child. remembering
all the time and patience and nurturing that goes into the raising of the child. if
you keep these points in mind and can answer yes to all and make that commitment
then the age shouldnt be a factor.

Ted,
At nearly 60 years of age, the very last thing on your mind is starting another family!! This is the time to lay back and enjoy the fruits of all those years working and bringing up children. This is supposed to be OUR time in life, to do what we want to do for a change, without the responibilities and commitments for careing about kids !!!
Lets face it, we no longer have the will we had before, or the patience, to be parents of babies and young children. What you talk about above is fine, ....as ''Grandparents'' and then thank god, ...you can hand them back again after a few hours...lol!!!
David....
