I'm not talking about first timers here. I'm talking men that are grandfathers and then having a child in their late forties or early fifties, usually with a much younger woman, and the woman doesn't want the child.

It's still a by-product of an unstable and unsustainable relationship

On a lighter note I would like to tell a true story about a man raising 3 daughters. I told this story on CD several years ago so this is for my new CD friends. Many years ago when my girls were all teenagers we were up in Canada for a friends wedding. It was in February. Brrrrr! We were in our hotel suite. I was ready. The girls were in thier part of the suite getting ready.I'm sitting there watching TV and waiting. All of a sudden I hear a shout from my youngest girl. "Dad! We need some nipple tape." Thinking I must have misheard I ignored it. A minute later in a louder voice, "DAD! WE NEED SOME NIPPLE TAPE!" I stood up and said "You need WHAT?" DAD! Please just go to the corner store and get us some bandaids." Thinking one of my girls had cut thier nipple I went off for bandaids. Finally my girls explained to me that it was cold and they didnt want there nipples sticking out!!! Whew! What's a dad supposed to do???????
