Famed singer Kenny Rogers' wife gave birth to twins yesterday. At 65 years of age, that makes Kenny Rogers a father at the age of a grandpa. When the twins are age five, they will have a 70-year-old father. Does anyone else have a problem with this? Let's not kid ourselves here. We're not exactly living in the days of Moses and Sarah when old "senior in age" people were experiencing immaculate conceptions. Men are not living to be 500 years-old anymore and there comes a time when women shrivel up. I believe there's a reason for that. In an age where we have legalized genocide, I'm all for procreation. However, I debate internally about this whole issue. Is it possible to be a poor steward of one's "capabilities"? I suppose a father is better than no father, however these brief stints of fatherhood can be frustrating for many kids.

Throughout my school life, I always had young parents while of all my friendss parents were the same age as my grandparents. My mother and father were 25 and 29-years-old respectively when they conceived me. Not exactly teenage parents, but it certainly put them in the category of "young parents" in the inner circles of private school life which was usually riddled with children of second marriages. I'm not sure what it is, but rich white men (not all but some) often get divorced and re-married to young hussies half their legal age. Is that the quarter-year life crisis version of a sportscar? I will never understand what a foreign supermodel sees in Donald Trump. Could it be the power? The money? The hair? The world may never know.

In high school, I had a classmate whose father died at age 78. He was only 18 at the time. He was a product of his dad's late second marriage and he was devastated by the death. Not only was he devasted, he was also angry. His anger mostly stemmed from the fact that while yes, his father's seed brought him onto the Earth, he got stuck with a sick father who spent most of his childhood dying. It's a sticky situation. I don't believe any children are illegitimate. It does bother me that so many prominent men are starting second families they'll never be around to raise.

Thoughts? At what point should people stop having children? I suppose it'd help if men stayed with their original wives.
