Has just had another baby

is it to old at 79? is it fair on the child?
I know any parent could die younger but the odds are much against him seeing his Childs 18th birthday

Ummmm I'm surprised he could even father a child at that age. My youngest DD's dad is 54 and he gets super tired looking after her (she's 3)

Your title ...

This!

I think 79 is too old for a baby though!

With that money you'd hope to live to late 90s, still a dick thing to do though. I think 50 is the limit really for both sexes. Anything 25 to 50 is totally fine. Anything younger or older is pushing towards not great for the child.

Not this subject again! He’s not the first, he won’t be the last. Unless you’re being named in De Niro’s will as the child’s guardian should anything happen to him, move on.

50 is definitely too old. I think mid 40s is seriously pushing it, I had a parent that age and it was tough.

Is OP going to come back and explain the title?

FGS the title does not say he passed away 🙄

Well please could you translate it? Because 'is he passed at 79' reads as 'passed as 79' on first look to a brain that can't make sense of the sentence structure

It mentions having a baby. People just looking for a reason to kick off.
