World's oldest father is 96


Recommended Posts

Frankly, I am not sure he is 96. If he is, there is an excellent chance his sons will barely remember him.

 

When I was working the new guy mentioned his dad had died when he (New Guy) was 2yo. We were all a little sad for him. But then he went on to explain that his dad was 80 when New Guy was born :blink: and he didn't remember his dad at all.

When I was doing ancestry, I learned that my great, great, great grandpa had at least 25 children with 4, possibly 5 wives (two or three of them simultaneously). My great, great grandpa Charlie was born to him in 1870 when he was 67 years old and then George went on to father 6 more children after that! He was 83 when the youngest one was born.

Am I the only one who thinks he's kind of creepy? :ack2:

 

And it's all well and good that he's a dad at 96, but his children will probably grow up without a father within a few years, and the mom isn't exactly a spring chicken, either. Personally, I think it's ridiculously selfish to father a child at 96 years old.

 

Oh, and wasn't it lovely that he says they can't afford more kids (which sounded sensible and admirable at first,) so now he wants his wife to get sterilized so she can't have any more children. :glare:

 

Ummm... how about he gets the Big V instead???

 

Idiot.
