My Life Changed

[puffy]

I need some not related to pipe smoking opinions.I'm 69 years old.My son who is 46 and has always lived at home got married for the first and I hope only time yesterday.He has flown the nest.Since this lady in 10 years younger than my son there's a reasonable chance that I could still become a grandpa.I don't want to intrude into their marriage and offer unwanted advise.I guess what I'm asking is how is one supposed to act in this situation?

 

[rigmedic1]

Don't worry. I have 12 kids, 14 grandkids, and one in the oven. Nature usually takes it's course. ::

 

[unclearthur]

Just go with the flow.

My daughter, Tara is 27 - now a wonderful friend and joy to me and my wife, totally self supporting and grown up - the thoughts below really helped us.....
On Children

Kahlil Gibran
Your children are not your children.

They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself.

They come through you but not from you,

And though they are with you yet they belong not to you.
You may give them your love but not your thoughts,

For they have their own thoughts.

You may house their bodies but not their souls,

For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow,

which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.

You may strive to be like them,

but seek not to make them like you.

For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.
You are the bows from which your children

as living arrows are sent forth.

The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite,

and He bends you with His might

that His arrows may go swift and far.

Let your bending in the archer's hand be for gladness;

For even as He loves the arrow that flies,

so He loves also the bow that is stable.

First thing to do it rent out his room. Nature will take over from there.

 

[schmitzbitz]

Yes; it just kinda - happens. My wife and I had this amazing four year plan of travelling, purchasing properties for rental income, expanding my business, and generally making our mark on the world. This plan's conclusion was to be marked by the conception of our first child. We are now exactly 24 months into it.
Our son was born 15 months ago.

Buy the newlyweds a bottle of good booz and hide their condoms.... The rest goes without saying! :rofl:

 

[hobie1dog]

Don't worry-be happy-nothing matters. :wink:

 

[baronsamedi]

what fullbent said :rofl:

 

[hauntedmyst]

My advise: stop listening to these guys and listen to old Haunted here, otherwise known as the love doctor. What you need to do is start with Fullbents advice, buy them wine, set the mood but then DONT let nature take its course. You have to set natures course for them. When she gets up to leave the room, say things like "Son, that is one hot pieces of ass you married...I'll hit that if you won't." This will invoke his territorial mating instincts. And stare at her a lot, especially her cleavage. Its a known fact staring at a woman's cleave makes women feel sexy and therefore more fertile. Try to sit outside their bedroom window naked but with your lap covered in peanut butter and yell things like "You go boy! That's it, put it to her or I'm coming in there!" You'll have grandkids in no time and an open invitation to Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Your welcome.

A bottle of wine and some Marvin Gaye on the stereo, and maybe even some Barry White just to make sure.
That didn't work for me though. October will be 12 years since me and the wife got married, and no kids. My brother who is four years younger than me has 2 kids 7 and 5 and is in the middle of a nasty divorce.
Only give advice if its asked for. Hopefully her parents will do the same. All will work out fine.....grandkids, peaceful marriage etc. If they have children, just make sure you spoil the hell out of the grandkids with pipes and tobacco......provided its still legal when they come of age.
You could do what my father in law did to me when I got married...... Me and the wife were barely 7 hours into our marriage and he calls me up on the phone and ask me what I was doing? I told him I was making love to his daughter. All I heard was dead silence on the other end. Later that day my mother in law called and apologized for her husbands stupid question.

Now move before they have a chance to move back in . :nana:

I think it is a bit on the fence with the lady, if she is 36ish. It might be getting dangerous for her to have children (not that I am an expert or a doctor or anything). I think the best advice is to let nature have its course without putting any pressure on them. It is their decision, after all.

Apart from instigating Prima Nocta there is F all you can do . just be glad that he is out of the nest
