I have...concerns...simply because parenthood is a huge deal, the biggest life offers, and it takes enormous energy/focus.

I became a dad at 23, and was over the moon...in contrast to the near-panic I had during previous pregnancy scares. My son is still a huge source of pride for myself and the whole family. When he was born, I was very active in the music scene and went to insane lengths to find time for the day job, fatherhood/husbandhood, music, and enough rest to keep going.

Mission accomplished. I get tired even thinking about it, nowadays, because of how many adjustments and what-not were constantly involved...but, we had support from our families and friends, which is what JJM and his lady will need going forward. I'm guessing that if they lack it, KOC and the other Purple People will be helping out.

KOC, JJM, Flores...make a good plan, or you'll be following Kwesi....

I think with everything we know publicly about the broader family, the new parents will be supported well.

They ain't the 1st youngens to have kids, wont be the last.

Hurry-up Vikings, we ain't getting any younger!

You don't think he should've checked with the Longship first? After all we've done? I mean, how rude.

Lol. Nope and I don't think he should have to answer to the incels online either. 

There are so many weirdos out there talking shit out there about something that should not be an issue

I remember watching my grandson for a day when he was 5 yrs. old, I was 48 yrs. old at the time. After a couple of hours watching that kid running around bouncing off the walls and trying to keep up with him, I was completely spent and exhausted. LOL I thought, how in the hell did I ever keep up with my own two kids at that age? Posters are right when you guys talk about keeping in shape as we get older in years.

Im about 25lbs above what I weigh in this picture. We hike, bike, walk, and occasionally do Pilates to stay in shape. But an hour on the floor with the grandkids kicks my ass!

Stop doing all that. I just saw on Twitter that losing fat and building muscle after 50 comes down to this ONE thing. It's apparently some sort of "breakthrough discovery."
