Neither is assuming that someone is an idiot because they are a grandparent at the age of 45. What is the magic age at which having children becomes good judgement? I'm really curious what the minimum age of becoming a grandparent should be. Is it 50? 60? Inquiring minds want to know.
So you are able to judge my life and judgement knowing exactly one fact about me? Is it sound judgment for just anyone to have a child at 20? No, it isn't. Things have turned out fine for me. My son is a great kid. He's better behaved and makes better grades than most of his peers who's parents are older. While having a child at 19 may not be a great idea for most, I wouldn't change a thing. And unsound judgement at 19 does not mean I have bad judgement for the rest of my life. I believe the poster failed to recognize that point.

It's pretty easy to be a 45 year old grandfather. My oldest son will be 25 when I'm 45. How does it show that the guy has bad judgement?
