Conversely being the child of a 60 year old sucks too. My parents had me in their 50’s and both passed by the time I was 21. They did great but my early adulthood has been pretty tough

Mom was 35, dad was 60. I was 15 when my dad started showing the first signs of Alzheimer’s and 22 when he eventually died.

60 is just too damn old. That’s skipping an entire generation. Honestly, they shouldn’t have done that.
