I think it's interesting that my mom's generation tended to have kids really young. Well, what I consider really young, anyway. Like early 20's. If you were nearing your 30's, you were considered pretty old to start having kids. It's so different now. I have several friends who didn't get married till their late 30's and early 40's. Families are starting later and later. As far as the 60-yr-old with the 6-yr-old daughter, that does seem a bit extreme since realistically he may not be around for her graduation or to be able to walk her down the aisle on her wedding day. And he'll most likely miss out on grandchildren.
