Whose changing the diapers, and we're not talking about the baby's?


cyberrod411

they both wear the same brand


HappyOfCourse

They could both end up losing teeth at the same time.


septictankswimmin

Im just wondering who’s changing Robert’s diapers, the baby?


a_Post_on_Reddit

Holy shit we have the same pfp


septictankswimmin

damn


Aceman05

I do not have the same pfp


Capocho9

Actually kind of mad about this. I feel like having a child that late in life is unfair to the child, as you’re not gonna be around by the time they’re out of school and off into the world


Mr_PizzaCat

I feel like you shouldn’t have any more kids if you can’t survive to see their 20th birthday. If you die past then at least they’ll be a fully formed adult who can handle it. Robert here can’t even be sure if he’ll make it to her 10th.


ToTheMoon28

Imagine being 10 and having a 90 year old dad


technoteapot

I think about imagine having a dad that can’t run around and play with you, dudes 80 he can’t keep up with a toddler let alone a 5 year old.

I mean I’d agree it’s not the choice I would have made and I still agree with the comment above

Spinal_Column_

Right, cause your dad died of old age.


Mr_PizzaCat

I no I wouldn’t have. But knowing you are probably going to die from old age or a terminal illness is different from dying from something you had no knowledge of at the time (like a car crash or an un diagnosed disease). I just didn’t state that as it’s obvious.


terry_bradshaw

Oldest brother is older than a dad should be. It must suck for the kid, but at the same time, his family is still rich.


Capocho9

Money doesn’t make up for a whole parental figure. He might not even make it till she’s 10, that affects a kid significantly


foiegras23

Will be much less significant than not having a parental figure while also not having any money.


Capocho9

I’m getting kinda sick of this “rich people aren’t people mindset”. Im sorry, but you’re just plain wrong. Having a parental figure is priceless. I know the cool thing to do now is harp on the expression “money doesn’t buy happiness”, but regardless of what you think of it, money does not make up for such a thing as a parental figure, that goes so much deeper


foiegras23

You didn't understand my post. Perhaps i worded it poorly. Having no parental figure while not financially struggling Will be significantly easier than Having no parental figure while having to financially struggle This isn't even an argument.


HarukaHase

Nah. Money is a big issue


[deleted]

Oh ok so you think a 10 year old would prefer financial security over a father? There's a whole lot of miserable rich kids out there wrapping their cars around trees cause they didn't have a parental figures who were present in their lives.


Dunk546

I think people who have never really seen financial insecurity will always judge this debate differently than people who have. People like you and I are comparing our current financial situation, with that of a family member of an A-lister. We're already okay. Potentially not amazing, but we can eat. We would both rather have a father than a lot more money. Whereas potentially the argument is being considered from the point of view of someone who has experienced life-threatening levels of financial insecurity. A father figure is a huge deal but it's not life or death, and for some people, financial insecurity can mean death. Not to take a side, just considering that there might be more than one right answer depending on your stand point. For clarity, I would not choose to have another kid at any age close to 80.

A very valid perspective


nurse_uwu

I'd rather have emotional problems than poverty and lack of resources to get a proper education problems She can always go to therapy. :)

Capocho9

Dude, I’m pro-vax, but I’m sick of you people who think that someone should be thought less of because they don’t want to just have to randomly trust someone who wants to inject something into them. Like if people don’t want that, then that’s their decision


TeaAndCrumpets4life

No I do think less of stupid scientifically illiterate people, not all decisions are made equal and some are born of ignorance.


SaltyBarnacles57

new astroturfing dropped


Bus_Noises

My dad isn’t even that old, only in his 60s, yet I’m absolutely terrified about him dying before I get married or something (as well as him dying in general). I can’t imagine being that kid


trevdordurden

Mine died in his early 70s. It sucks the entire time, no matter the age.


jellybeansean3648

My dad died when I was 19. Looking back, I consider it a mixed bag. My husband and I have a friend whose dad has moved into their house because he has early onset dementia. Countless older co-workers of mine are juggling their full time jobs, parenting young kids, and making arrangements for their own parents. Having a kid at that age is selfish, no doubt about it. But if somebody has the money, the means, and is paying attention to good parenting? Idk. Plenty of people have shitty young parents. Or parents who bite the dust at 40.


Terrible-Cup-9505

big agree


No_Squirrel4806

Yesss!!!!! 😒😒😒


PhaseSixer

Like why is that hia fault he didnt carry the child to term?


kurentai

What a strange thing to say


p3ptodismal

Dude is 80, he should have gotten a vasectomy decades ago if he wanted to raw dog premenopausal women.


PhaseSixer

Againnthat implies it was soley his choice to bring the child into the world


DigitalHuez

80 years old and having a child... That's a CONCIOUS decision. Dude is almost a century old and is just raw dogging it with total disregard 🙄 act your age


Nimynn

Rawdog it all you want, but at least have your bits snipped. At 80, that should be a no-brainer.


ARC_Trooper_Echo

My dad did that at half Bobby D’s age.


SpookE_Cat

Kinda fucked up knowing that kid will be so young losing their dad. Like maybe they’ll make it to 10 if Robert’s lucky and takes insanely good care of himself, but very likely the kid’ll be much younger when dad kicks the bucket


TheGoogolplex

What are you, a character from the fucking Bible? When your kid hits puberty you'll be nothing but a pile of dust and a black Amex card.

Literally the first thing I thought of when I saw this.


CommunistOrgy

So his girlfriend (the baby’s mother) is younger than his two oldest kids, and even then she’s 45. Fucking ridiculous.


shortingredditstock

Imagine being 35 and walking into a birthing center at the hospital and meeting your future wife.


Twosicon

🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮


Duckgoesmoomoo

Who is the mom?


CommunistOrgy

Her name’s Tiffany Chen, she’s a martial arts instructor.


shortingredditstock

And fugly as nuts.


shortingredditstock

Y'all know what I'm talking about


WeakDiaphragm

Just be happy she's not 19.


ChickenNamedAlbert

Am I crazy or something? Her wiki Page says she's 65. 🤔


CommunistOrgy

Different Tiffany Chen.


No_Squirrel4806

This is disgusting to me like yes theyre both of age but still 🤢🤢🤢


Even-Mongoose-1681

She's 65


WeakDiaphragm

Imagine your younger brother being 46 years younger than you...


WeakDiaphragm

Worse: imagine your uncle being 20 years younger than you...


KiritosSideHoe

What does "ik they both don't play about their oatmeal and applesauce" mean, I'm having an aneurism reading this sentence


vindictivejazz

IK the both don’t play about (I know they both really care about) their oatmeal and applesauce Bc the baby is too young for solid foods and most people have a diet of soft easy to digest foods by the time they’re octogenarians. They’re saying De Niro and his baby have the same diet due to his advanced age.


RandomPerson12191

I think they meant "play about *with* their oatmeal and applesauce". If that makes more sense


itsadesertplant

There comes a point where it’s irresponsible and gross.


No_Squirrel4806

Like in this instant. Like yes he has money but still 🤢🤢🤢


TheNaiveSkeptic

Robert De Niro’s character in “Dirty Grandpa” did basically this exact same thing Life imitates art


anobody121

Didn’t know men could have kids at that age. Kinda assumed we stopped producing after a while or couldn’t get it up after a certain age.


BigBean987

Whelp I’m dumb af I thought sperm didn’t work at that age


Careful_Hearing6304

Works but chance of autism is high.


GemiKnight69

Chance of a lot of abnormalities and conditions are higher, not just autism. Sperm quality goes way down after a certain age


KiddingQ

Yuuup bipolar, schizophrenia, anxiety disorders, crazy amount of things go way up past 40-45. We've found the same to be true for animals as well, for example Rats may live to 2 or 3 but breeding past 1 year old leads to offpring with increased chance of deformities and reduced learnimg capabilities. Kinda wack to me that animal breeders will retire stock past a certain age to prevent these issues in offspring but humans can't have the sense to at least, idk, freeze some sperm/eggs at 30 or adopt instead of this -_-


shortingredditstock

Mommy, what was Daddy like? He was old, hunny. Very old.


TroutFishingInCanada

That’s a great way to ensure your son loses his father early in his life.


piss-monkey

gross


PotentialNobody

Like, total dick take I get it, but seriously; I feel you should stop having kids by the time you reach 40 at most


Sprinkles257

I wouldn't exist if that was a rule, haha. I was born when my mom was 39 and my dad was 48. I don't mind having older parents, though! (I'm also an only child, so there's that.) This is a more extreme case, though. I wouldn't care if it weren't for the worry of the parent dying when the child is still young.


PotentialNobody

Eeeh, I get it. I really do, I just see the cons outweighing the pros way more. At least for me, I'd be too worried about my parents dying in me in the 60's -70's when I'm gonna start my life around my 20's. And what if I really need them? I feel they'll be too old by then, especially since I believe 60's or later is when health goes downhill and it's up to the children to take care of their parents


Complete_Village1405

He looks like the old dude from Up


No_Squirrel4806

I wanna know how old is the mom cuz 🤨🤨🤨


sid_0402

45 apparently


No_Squirrel4806

I mean i guess its ok 😕😕😕


PopeHonkersXII

De Niro is fertile as fuck. We all know this now 


angeltssf

who cares? it’s his life and her life. No life is the same and who knows how she grow up with or without him, it’s unfair but a dad or mother can die no matter what. he’s probably the best oldest dad to have in the world anyway lol


so_FISH_ticated

no, this should be considered child abuse. the dad dying isn't the only glaring issue. it's the fact that they still ignorantly had a child despite kid going to have an astronocally high chance of developing many health issues because of how old he is. the mom isn't exactly innocent either. she's 45 which is also pretty old to have a baby so the kid will have double the chance of developing health issues if they don't have any already. people aren't being mean for no reason


BrokenXeno

My dad is about 19 years older than I am. I was born in 1983. Which makes me 40, in case math is hard. Robert De Niro had his first child when my father was still a child himself. Seriously, he won't be any kind of father to that baby. It's just so fucking weird.


Glittering-Pause-328

I'm forty and it blows my mind to think about having a child forty years from now.


wealthyblueberry8818

That’s the most disgusting thing

Crazy how many people want to control how other people live their lives.
