“Define too old” … hmmmm …
Chronologically I’m 38. Which is not “old” by any standard.
However, with each new child that I had I found that my “feeling” of age was exponentially increased some. My best figures suggest that the first kid added 2 years, the second added 4 years, the third added 8 years and the last one 16 years.
Generally I’m still 38 most of the time, but when one of my kids puts peanut butter in the VCR, shaves the dog, repaints the car (interior with crayons), eats a foriegn object found in a parking lot, does backflips off the sofa, or needs help with their homework (hehehhehe) I feel those additional years added.
Does math … 68 is “too old” for me. 
Seriously though … I’m a big baby. My wife takes care of us all pretty much and I just keep pretending like I know what’s going on and paying for emergency room visits. Life with kids is a daily adventure. Those who don’t have kids and are thinking of little additions to the family really don’t know how much it changes your life. Some good, some bad, but never ever again will you have what your life was like pre-kids.[ul][li]I used to listen to rock-n-roll … now I know the lyrics of the title song to “the Wiggles”.[]I don’t have a butt anymore … it’s now referred to as a “bottom”. :bottomrock:[]I’ve visited every public bathroom within a 100 mile radius of my home.[]At any given moment there are fewer Cheerios in the box than what is stuck between seat cushions of our house and vehicles.[]I’ve forgotten how to make complete sentences while speaking (“Don’t touch …”, “What are you …”, “Give that …”, “Don’t eat …”, etc. is usually interupted by a desperate action to stop them from doing something that will hurt themselves - or others).[*]If you think a child won’t put something into one of his/her orafices, think again (Dr. extractions are about $90 a pop here in California).[/ul]

Yeah … 38 years “young” by anyone else’s standards. 
Pufferfish - I work at a bank’s data center. That’s why I’d like to change careers.
paperclip - I’m a little cautious about posting images of my kids on the net. But I do have this one of Jake when he was born. Imagine him 16 months older …
Art2 - … will soon know all about what I’ve said above.
