Well, congratulations, Lanky!!!

I’m happy for you!

Why is that so surprising to you?

I also find 24 a bit young to be having a child, but that’s just my personal feelings on the matter. Either way, grats Lanky.[/quote]

In previous generations it was normal to have kids at 24 or younger. With the current crop of adults, things like abortion and birth control are more prevalent because no one wants to commit to anything long term (just my opinion). So, yeah, these days 24 is considered young.

Either way, thanks for the good wishes. We’ve got a good support group around us and we’re two people who are emotionally, physically and financially capable of raising a child. We’re excited. :wink:

Congrats. In a few months I’ll send you a little Yankees rattle and bib. ;)[/quote]

Haha, thanks. That will come in handy when I have to teach my child good vs evil.

can i be uncle holymac?

24

Congrats man.

To the haters: age is just a number, it’s your level of maturity and responsibility that should decide whether or not you are able to raise a child.

Congrats, man.

Mine’s due in 3 months. Not trying to steal your thunder (no congratulations necessary) and I’m pretty terrified. MOther’s revenge and all. I am about 5 years older than you.

Congrats Shorty…

That’s what started this whole thing:)

Congrats. Enjoy it! 24 isn’t to young. I was 25 and my wife 24. We handled it just fine. A few words of advice if you don’t mind. No matter what else you think is important, don’t ever miss anything the little rug rat does. They grow up fast and once the moments are gone you only have your memories.

That’s awesome, congrats. Maybe when mine is due in 3 months I’ll be a little less excited and a little more terrified, haha.

Way to go Champ … just keep the little Tanner away from Stephanie, I heard she’s smokes crank so…yea she’s not a good influence

Seriously though, Congrats brother

I don’t think anyone was hating, but I agree with your statement. It’s all about maturity. I had 3 kids by the time I was 24.

Lanky will be a good dad, just my internet gut feeling. One of the reasons you can tell is because he posted in GAL with happiness and excitement, rather than posting in SAMA with shock, bewilderment, and anxiety.

I don’t mind the advice at all. If I’ve learned anything, it’s that taking advice from people who have been where you are going is always beneficial. Unfortunately for me, I’m a slow learner and it probably took me 20 years to learn it, haha.

32

Congratulations man, that’s great.

He comes off as being a little older, so I made an assumption. It’s a compliment.

The comment has NO bearing on his maturity, which my brings me to my previous remark… So, he’ll be a great father.

Congratulation Lanky,
what a blessing for both of you

You’ll be fine. Everyone get a grip.

Haha. Now he’s really going to be a lanky mother-fucker

Wow, I can’t believe you Lanky, I mean will you stoop to any level to get some attention? I’m sure in a month or so you’re going to be telling us how you developed “super cancer” or “Anal Warts” or something else shocking. Well I’m not buying it for one minute.

Unless you found out one of your donations at the sperm bank was a succesful implantation, there is no way you are having a kid. And seeing as that is HIGHLY illegal for Sperm banks to tell you that info, I am thinking this is all just a big ruse to get you some attention.

Just kidding broseph, good job on gettin a mini me. I gots an 8 year old girl myself, she’s a pretty awsome little kid. Of course her dad is awsome, so your kid might find it a little harder to be cool, but if you want, just drop him/her off at Uncle vegitas and I’ll make sure she/he gets some form of good influence (or my wife will, still can’t figure out if it’s her influence or mine that is doing the good job).

…Oh my god… They’re… Breeding!… We’re doomed!

Jk brother, I’m happy for you! All the best to you and your (soon-to-grow) family!

Hell, if you can support the family etc/have your business/work situation right and all that, then I think the sooner you get your kids the better (unless, perhaps, you’re a serial killer masquerading as a blood spatter analyst)… Less of a generation gap between you and your child(ren) when it’s(their) puberty starts… And you’ll be able to support them longer if need be, etc (important what with today’s rather not-so-stable economy, work situation and whatnot).

One of my trainees mom got him with 40+… His dad is 5-6 years older than his mother.
He himself is 23 now (or so), and there just doesn’t seem to be any understanding happening between those three… Parents are of the Just-past-WW2 Generation of Eastern Germans and all they ever knew was work and the “traditional” roles men and women had to fit in… They have zero hobbies or even depth of character from what I can tell, they’re like demo-versions or something. Large parts are just missing (that being said, I only know them as one knows everyone in a small town/village-thing and from what my trainee and others tell me).
And now they’re both retired, so supporting their son is difficult for them… The situation (finding work/getting into a uni) here isn’t exactly great anymore, so that’s a real issue. Plenty of teenagers and young adults going down the drain due to such problems.

congrats! Does this mean countingbeans is preggers?

Congratulations!

My wife and I were in high school when we had our first, and only, child. Which is how at age 29 we have a middle school aged daughter.

And we turned out great and my daughter is freaking awesome! Plus we get to look forward to being empty-nesters at age 35.

So I say get it done early.
