It might not seem like a good deal to us, but maybe there's been an agreement. I just can't see folks having babies this late in life without making some kind of arrangements should they die before they're 18.

most men die before women do - we otta be concerned (as if it's any of our business) bout the fact the father will probably kick out first.

Lets see my dad lived till he was 79 - drank,smoked,and had lung issues

Mom till she was almost 96.............

Yep I think she's bankin on the fact most women live pretty long. Plus she is in very good shape. Course don't matter - lots of folks die without any plans or warnings. Girl I work with - her hubby just got capped - they got a 4 or 7 yo - was it selfish of her to have children cause her hubby liked to sell weed to the wrong crackhead?...............let me add that no one knows who capped him........ but it was in cracktown so the truth is the odds are that's what went down.

Nope Bubba - it's none of our business - at least they can raise these kids without govt assistance - for me that's a big enough plus don't matter how old she is.

Birnbaum said she underwent in-vitro fertilization…

I liked what Neil Cavto had to say about it;

Quote:
Twin boys, born yesterday. Healthy. Dad happy. Mom very happy. Mom, 60 years old.

It's the 60-year-old mom part that's got a lot of folks going nuts.

Including her 29-year-old daughter and 33-year-old son, who say mom hasn't thought this through.

That 60 is just too old to start having kids again. Little more than six years older than the last time mom had kids again, after undergoing vitro fertilization.

Look at the dangers. Look at the kids. Look at the kids in college. Look at the prospect mom and dad might not be alive to see the kids in college.

I say, look at life.

Things happen. Things change.

Some people live long lives. Some do not.

Some get on and off planes all the time and nothing happens. Another boards the wrong flight at the wrong time and something tragic happens.

Chances. Frieda and Ken Birnbaum are taking chances. Taking the chance they'll live a lot longer and love a lot longer.

No guarantees of that, of course. Just like there are no guarantees in life.

They could curse their age or act their age or do the things that others do in their age.

Or they could be themselves.

Their boys are lucky.

I suspect because mom and dad "haven't" chosen to act their age. They've decided to redefine it.

Tony Randall died at the age of 84, so he lived for 5 years of his newborn child's life. His wife was five decades younger than him when they married in 1995. She is Heather Harlan. Heather Harlan, (born in 1970 in Richmond, Virginia and raised in Florida), was the second wife of Tony Randall. Being born in 1970 makes her only 37 years old this year!

The only info I can find on Hugh Hefner's children is this...Hefner has had 4 children: Daughter Christie Hefner (born November 8, 1952) and son David Hefner (born August 30, 1955) with Mildred Williams; sons Marston Hefner (born 9 April 1990) and Cooper Hefner (born 4 September 1991) with Kimberley Conrad. The only twins he "had" at the age of 74 were his live-in loves the Bentley twins. I can find nothing of him having twins with anybody in 2000, the year he would have been 74 years old. Please name your source on that one.

I don't see much difference between kids having babies and leaving them with parents or grandparents then parents leaving babies with their kids. It's a rough deal all the way around.

I googled, yahoo'd and asked jeeves! I couldn't find a Hugh Hefner being a father at 74. Thanks for clearing that up.

My point still stands. All those "old" fathers had young trophy wives to take care of a newborn baby.
