can a man of 47 have a child thinking that at 60 the child will b 13.will this affect the child?

Question

And what about the child having an old dad?

Answer 1

Nup that's when my dad had me. I'm 14 now and he's 61. I live with him (I am an only child and he's a single dad, I see my mum, who's 48, every once a month). He's in great health and in no way does he act or appear "grandfatherly". We go to the movies and go shopping just as father and daughter, go out to dinner, whatever the case may be. I wouldn't care if he was 10 years older. It's not about what you won't do in the future, or what you could've done in the past, it's about what you do in the present.
The child should be grateful he or she is fortunate enough to have a dad in the first place :) - age has no boundaries.

Hope this helps
Have a safe Christmas and New Years

Answer 2

Well, it won't affect the child directly, and it may not affect it at all. But you have to be devoted and understand the child, which means being able to set yourself in the child's shoes and be young in mind. A father who becomes too old isn't easy for a child to speak to and often too far away in life for them two to understand each other.

But if you can be a young 60year old father, who can be the father figure and the buddy of a child and able to separate and combine these two when he/she grows up, then it should be just a great thing.

Answer 3

If the man is in good health and will be committed to the child I think it's alright, so many kids have absent dads these days. It's Ok if an older dad can't do everything, the important thing is to make the child feel valued.

Answer 4

My husbands uncle fathered his 4th child at 54 years old.....so 47 is waaaay better. If the man is taking care of himself he can easily live to be 90 or older....which would put his child at 43 before he may leave this earth....47 is definitely not too old if you're really wanting a child in my opinion. Good luck!!

Answer 5

My father turned 60 the year I tuned nineteen. Age has nothing to do with your abilitie to parent. I think the fact that your more mature and and are thoughtful enough to ask these kinds of questions indicates you might be a good father. If you were ten years older that might make a difference in so much that you would not be as likley to be there during his formitive years. Either way you go, I wish you luck though.

Answer 6

In my opinion, yes it will affect the child. I once had a friend at school who was 14 and her father was 64. The pig headed children of the school used to pick on her and say that grandad was pickingher up from school, or things like whats it like living in an old peoples home.

Answer 8

well when we had our first child 21 years ago me and my husband where young parents .we now have eight our youngest is five now and were older parents.my husband is 48 I'm 41 but if anything were better parents and can afford to do more with our youngest.its nothing to do with age it's all to do with time for your children

Answer 9

My wife had our daughter when I was 45 and I am now 53 and no way is it a problem. Old is a state of mind. My family certainly keep me feeling young enough.

Answer 10

no,i doesnt make a difference. as long as the dad wants children and enjoys them... it does not affect the children. my dad is 62 and he has 2 boys 18 and 22. age doesnt matter...
