Has just become a father again at the age of 72.

Lucky guy.....

Seriously do you think a man of this age should be having children?

I don't think it's fair on any child to be lumbered with his genes.

Les Dawson was about that age for his last child wasn't he?

I think it's too old but if they're all happy, healthy and emotionally secure who am I to judge?

I don't feel it is wise as via statistical average he is unlikely to be alive when said child reaches much beyond low double digit age

I personally don't think he should father a child at that age.

I agree with Licketyspl, not sure he should have ever been allowed to breed

Regarding age, yes it's unlikely he'll live to see his newest baby grow unto an adult, however lots of founder fathers aren't around for their children through vindictive wives when they split up, through being feckless twunts and various other reasons so I don't really think it makes much difference nowadays - and although I haven't seen pictures of the new mum, I'm guessing she'll have no problem with a new relationship once the stringy one shuffles off his mortal coil or moves onto the next one so hopefully junior will still have a father figure in his life

I can't help thinking he is a sad old man just trying to say I am still active and firing on all cylinders.

We all are allowed to do these things our own way I would not have children over 45 personally.

Utterly selfish and totally unfair on the child.

My dad was in his 50's when he had me - I could never talk to him properly across the age gap and lost so much - It still hurts....

Don't have children unless you can expect to be there with them while they grow up..!!!

I think you might be right. Is this just a case of him proving a point or trying to anyway. The sad thing is that there is a child involved who will never really get to know his father!

Plus I can't understand why anyone would want to get jiggy with the Stringy anyway

If you're 50 when you have children and live to the average life expectancy they'll be early 30's when you die.

I'd say early 50's is fine, but 60's and 70's starts to cause real issues. Having said that I know two different people who've had dads that were 50+when they were born and the had a cracking time with them growing up. It's not the age, it's the person

True - but then he would not have left a young woman widowed with 10 children either, in a country which has no social security (evidently not this one).

It's not so simple - this was in a Middle East country. Little access to birth control.

FFS!! Middle East! A woman's duty, etc, etc. And that is not what the argument is about!

She was left, as a young mum, of 10. 5 of them were hers and 5 were from his previous marriage (his first wife had died).

At least two of his children were below school age - he was well into his 70s. My hubby always said that he felt he lost out by not really having a father. THAT is the point!

70s is too old to be a parent.

I wasn't mocking abstinence if you actually look at the whole post. And Stringfellow does have easy access to birth control.

Look at the entire context - this was a Muslim woman in the Middle East married off to a much older man who was a widower. SHE would have had no option to abstain. That is what the ffs was about. Not about the abstinence and I also pointed out that it was irrelevant since my point was about someone who had lost their elderly father at the age of 3 - the mother's or father's abstinence was an irrelevance to that point.

What surprises me the most is that when I suggested abstinence, you assumed I was talking about the woman.

Do you realise that even abstinence by the male is generally frowned on? It is a duty to produce children. Many Muslim families have more than 4 children for that reason - and I speak from the experience of having had Muslim in-laws.

Well he can be pretty confident that his child will be provided for.

My Dad died when I was two. Nobody can be sure how long they'll be around when they have a child so I'm not sure the life expectancy argument is too relevant.

But if you are in your 70s having a child you are more likely not to be around for the teens than if you are in you 30s or 40s.

How can you know?

If you're in ill health fair enough - but even then, what say for a husband with a terminal illness who chooses to have a child, knowing they won't be around but wanting still to have a child together?

Stringfellow can probably devote most of his time to a young child for most if not all of it's childhood. That's more than I got and my father was a young bloke.

Society - I've personally heard conversations about men who have not produced children quickly enough in a marriage. Those pressures are pretty strong, I assure you. It was the reason, in the end, why I got divorced. I did not want more children but the pressure put on hubby to have a child ended up being too much.

I am talking in general terms here - but, in general, the life expectancy of a 30 year old is greater than that of a 70 year old. A 70 year old is much more likely to suffer from life-threatening ailments.

Clearly - but on the other hand there are many really fit 70 year olds about now.

There are also a lot of absent fathers at all ages.

It could be argued that he's in a better position than many younger men to parent a child.

That doesn't make it any less 'icky' of course.

Yes, but statistically he is less likely to be around than if he was 30 which I find really sad for the child. And money won't necessarily make him a good father - personally I think the man is vile in his approach to women. Is that a good role model for any child?

I can't disagree about him in particular. Just looked at the photos of him and his 30 year old wife - and there's the other debate - what young woman would choose to put herself in that situation?

Wasn't Chaplin much much older? I remember at the time thinking it was pretty yuck but I think I was a teen at the time. Parents in their 40s is far more common now - but beyond 70 is something else. In fact, my gran had my mum when she was 42.

I found this on mothers 35 plus:

"Whilst the topic of "older fathers" is increasingly making headlines, what is perhaps less well-known is that there can be risks - both physical and mental - associated with fathering offspring later in life.

Recent research revealed that compared to younger dads, fathers in the older age group were more inclined to be less tolerant of their children's physical activities, perceiving them to be more impulsive and overactive. Older dads apparently also show less affection and warmth towards their partner."

And I think Chaplin was 73. I also discovered that Julio Iglesias fathered a child at 89!!

Rightly or wrongly, mothers are still considered the main carers of children.

Delaying getting pregnant till later life means a greater chance of death* of the mother whilst the child is still young.

*not just as a result of pregnancy.

My dad died in his 50s, and wasnt a great father. Maybe the child will loose him when young but if he is loved then thats what he will remember.

Age doesnt always have anything to do with being a good dad.

And he could live another 20 years and be around the same amount of time mine was. Does that mean he is a bad dad automaticly? I dont think so.
