Things That Amuse You

50 with a kid in grades 6 and 9.

I sometimes am a bit jealous of my empty nester friends.

and then I remember what I was doing in my 20s.

and 30s

That would not have been conducive to quality parenting but I would not have wanted to miss a minute of it!

Each their own and what not.

Yep. I was 58 when my kid graduated HS. My dad was also 58 when I graduated HS

My college GF has a 30 yr old son. Great kid and she’s happy but I def wouldn’t trade what I was doing in my 20s (and 30s) for that. Plus was def more in dad space skill wise but def more tired. One of my cousins had both his kids before he was 20. And he’s a grandpa now. Fuck that shit.

I know a couple guys in their 50's on their second brood who traded in their old ones for 20+ yrs younger women. That takes some energy.

My oldest brother did just that, he has a 36yo, a 32yo, and a 12 yo.

Fixed.

Or just some Viagra and a smile.

I've got a buddy who's freshly remarried to a younger woman (mid-30s) upon the condition that they start trying for a kid yesterday. He's already got a 6th and 7th grader so being a parent won't be that big of a deal, but being in his mid-60s at graduation (assuming they can get pregnant right away) would give me serious pause.

Police called to yoga class mistaken for ‘mass killing’

A yoga class was cut short after a member of the public called the police to report a “mass killing” after seeing several people lying on the floor.

Participants in the class, which was being held at the Seascape cafe, inside the North Sea observatory in Chapel St Leonards, Skegness, Lincolnshire, were in the midst of meditation when officers turned up on Wednesday night.

That should have been the most USA thing ever but no, England. Didn't see that one coming...

If that happened here cops would have overreacted and ended up shooting someone

Have another set, wife/mom is 63 and kid is 18. ….

kid 1 @ 45, kid 2 @ 47 here.

I’d be changing diapers currently on a 2 yo.

[johnnyg82]

If that 82 refers to the year you were born, more likely you would have known my sister.

Though if you frequented bike shops when you were in high school, we may have crossed. I was working at one of the better ones in town high school thru university.

Like KD Sports or Sport-X?

My daughter turns 40 on her next birthday. That is not amusing.

How does that happen?

[ötzi]

Wow. Well at least you lived long enough to see it.

Hey! I’m feeling sorry for myself here. But yeah, there’s that. And grandkids…

Might be be amusing but that’s pretty freakin awesome. Wonder what she’ll be like then. Did she accomplish her goals? So many questions. Hope I’m around to see it.

She accomplished her goals and then some. I often say, sincerely, that she’s living the dream. Raising horses and children with a stand-up husband in the shadow of Mt. Shasta.

Proud dad, love it. Sounds happy, both of you.

And on drive thru ATMs.

It's the outer limits of inclusivity.
