Thank you very much mate!
I've just started a new job, my boss is 59 and has an 8 year old boy. Makes me realise that worrying about becoming a Dad again at 40 certainly isn't old these days!
I've had a very busy run up to Christmas but have managed to spend some time reading through this thread. Blown away by the responses, I thought there would be handful of opinions and experiences shared.
This forum really is an incredible place. Merry Christmas all 🎅 🎄
My Dad was a couple of years younger when he had me. A few of mates were shocked that he could remember the war ending but him being the older Dad never bothered me in the slightest.
I live in Poole now but it's a area to live, also until quite recently it was very affordable.
It feels more like a city than a town and is surrounded by some stunning countryside.
The only downside is that it's a right pig to get to home games without driving.
Quite similar to me, I was 33 when I had my daughter and am definitely a bit conscious of being older than a lot of the other parents at her school. Probably says more about my age complex than anything else!
Found out quite recently that I am expecting my second child, all going well he/she will arrive a few months after my 41st birthday.
Genuinely didn't think i'd have the chance again at 40 and am over the moon but naturally a bit worried about being the older Dad in the playground. My Dad was 45...
