Mr. Cow

Bragging would be telling the adventures of being "a fireman" before becoming "the little red rooster".

After staying in the barnyard these years, my wife and kids are still wanting me to stop thinking like I am still in school.

I keep telling them it is never too late to learn.

B-)

Kudos to all grandparents and uncles out there.

> I was 37. She is now 40.

Dang, I thought I was going to be the youngest.

I was 18 when my oldest daughter was born; 21 when my second daughter was born. I was 39 when my second daughter had her first son, he is now 16; she now has 2 sons and 2 daughters. My oldest is now 37 and has never had any childern. My son has 2 so that gives me a total of 6; was total part of the original contest:-S

😉

I hope you are having a great weekend, I know I am.

My daughter is 3, so no dice there.

I did allow my parents the pleasure of grandchild free life until Dad was 58 and Mom was 56.

Also have 23 grandkids total and I think, almost the same number for great-grandkids, give or take a couple or three. Lost count, but know their names. 🙂

Got ya!

Sigh! I became a dad at 14 (GF was 16). Lewis followed in dad's footsteps, so he became a daddy at 16, which made me 30 when Jessica was born. She is almost 22 now and just gave birth to my great grandson, I'm now 52.:excruciating: Some facts of life are a little embarrasing, but it is what it is.

50 Not Out, No Grandkids, No Hurry

My kids are 12 and 14.

Alexandra gets lots of lectures about not ending up shackled down before she's ready. I think she has taken that message on board

I am 63 with no grandkids yet.

Second son gets married in November. If he is anything like his old man it will be a few years before he sires a grandie.

Cheers

Graham

I was 50, she's now 13 and is starting High School. Youngest of 7 grandkids just started Kindergarten, and my youngest kid has yet to start a family. With continued good health I might be around to see the first great grandchild.

Almost - Got ya!

My oldest son became a father at 15. I was 36. I had 2 sons by my 19th birthday.
Nothing to be embarrased about. Both are fine young men in their 30's that I'm very proud of.
