I did a study a while back where I was looking at the ages of parents of young children, and I was surprised at how many parents of pre-schoolers were 40+ years old. I'm curious if the community was a fluke or if it's common.

So...poll coming. How much older are you than your YOUNGEST child? Poll crowning soon from the poll birth canal.

Rule: Your youngest may be a natural child, stepchild, or some other child relationship.

My grandpa was born in 1884 wrap your mind around that.

Wow. I'm two years older than you and my oldest grandparent was born thirty years later than your grandpa.

Yeah It was a little different. My grandfather on Mom’s side was born before Cars and airplanes and lived long enough to see man land on the Moon. He was too old to get drafted for WWI. I could easily have been 20-40 years older. My Dads side wasn’t that much younger. Gives a person a little different perspective listening to stories about your Dads Grandpa having his horse stolen by Jessie James. No idea if it was true but was cool to listen too as a kid.

My dad is the short one

**BigMeatballDave** · 11-24-2015, 03:10 PM

My dad was 30 when I was born, so similar to my situation.

**ChiTown** · 11-24-2015, 03:14 PM

My Dad, a Pilot in WWII, was 46 years old when I came into this world.

I have yet to have my seed take permanent habitat in the body of a woman.
