I'm only 1 year younger than you and our 2nd was born a few weeks ago. Could I handle the lack of sleep better if we had him younger? Sure, but, everything I did in my 20s and early 30s led to me having 2 kids in my mid/late 30s.

Tbh I ask myself the same question, especially when my 3 year old wants me to run and throw her around, and I'm on the verge of putting my back out or almost going into cardiac arrest. But I use that to spur myself to keep healthy, eat better, and workout more.

Don't let the worry of being too old affect you. Definitely don't use it as and excuse to not be the best dad for your kid. If you are worried, make sure you're in the best health you can be to take part in them growing up.

Yes

Yes, I went through a similar thing with my dad. We were never very close and only spoke or saw each other once or twice a year. He was in hospital for a couple of days when his cancer was terminal and took him a few days to pass. I was there the whole time and felt that I should have felt more upset, the same as the people around me but I just wasn't.

My advice is to be carefully tuned in to your emotions as you don't want it to manifest as something else after he's passed. Sometimes I get angry at my dad for being such a shitty parent but I don't let it sit too long as there's literally nothing I can do now and should have said or done things when he was alive but I never did.

Don't feel guilty about not feeling a certain way or not being too upset from losing him. Unfortunately we don't always have the parents or friends we wish we had.
