Have these guys ever heard of Grandchildren? The "We" in any discussion and decision involving an older man (past 60 yrs old) having children is typically NOT a "We" decision, but more of a "Her" want and influence. I agree, as we get older as men, we become maybe a little more patient, but that is why we hope to become Grandfathers.
I'm 67, planning to move to SE Asia next year. I will be looking for a wife who wants to have kids. I never had kids in the US after watching "Divorce American Style" when I was 11 or 12 years-old.
Seems I prefect time and place to have kids.
My wife will be set financially for her life and our kids thru college. There's no way I could have provided that level of security when I was in my 20's and 30's.
I retired 22 years ago and have enjoyed retirement. I'm ready for my next adventure. I hear a lot of retired people say they like spending time with grandkids and expats with single mom say they enjoy having kids around. I have the budget to hire housekeepers and nannies if my wife wants. I don't plan to change diapers. I hear men say then don't want to go thru the work of having kids again. Well yeah, I wouldn't want to either as a 20 year-old guy. I plan to travel and have fun too with my wife and kids or solo.
I now have a lot more to teach kids and time to do it. Them having dual citizenship and language is a great plus.
What others think is no concern of mine.
Go for it My Brother !!!
Just think it thru, which I`m sure you have and will.
Screw everyone else that poo poo`s your thoughts, just stay away from these miserable people.
"Take a bite out of life my man" You only received (1) pass...
I`m 69, however, because of good genes and dna, I look 50s and in great health and work out all the time.
My Filipina girlfriend, most likely my wife in the near future, will want to get married and start a family.
Respectfully, I am financially sound and working here as well so they will be financially protected by our law firm as well...
So are you planning on taking advantage young children in the Philippines.
We need to get your name and report you to the Immigration office before you even arrive to prevent future child bride event.
It's not for others to judge, but I see from a lot of the comments, Western style ageism is alive an well. 😞
@@user-zu5tv7zt6v Yes, anger and dispair is alive and well in America, especially California where its flourishing !!!
My wife and I had a child together when she was 37 and I was 49 when we lived in HK. We now live in the Philippines. The family is happy and financially secure. Our son is now 7 years old. We both have children from previous relationships.There was no 'plan' on my part, although I suspect she was planning!. Her daughter from a previous relationship lives with us and I support her at university. Their future is secure. We have property and a business and a decent income.
Sounds great, Thanks for watching
I can only speak for myself, at 66 yrs old I am way too old to father a child. If I can't be reasonably certain that I will be there for their development then there is no way that I could justify bringing another life into the world.
Wishing you well. Seems like there are plenty of women with kids there that need a dad in their life. It may be that these young women see a baby as a guarantee she will keep a guy. That being a wife means having a child with husband. Sadly, some women world wide believe that. What you are describing is what grandparents like..those close enough get perks of being with a little kid but do get to send them back to mom and dad. There are no guarantees in life..A young mom can die and an older dad can live to 100 but most over a certain age do not have the same energy. Hoping all stay healthy to raise the child and that any older man has financial provisions in place to support family if the mom is dependent.
OK. Your life, your choice. I plan to have kids. I wonder if I asked my kids in the future "Are you glad you were born?" I assume, I hope, they answer "Dad, that's the stupidest question you asked this week."
I would never ask that of course, But it's an interesting perspective.
@@LKay742 Don't worry, no shortage of guys who come here that are willing to put on the stepdad cape and jump in to rescue single mom's and their brood. But it's perfectly okay to have your own child too.
@@user-zu5tv7zt6v that is good
As long as a couple are happy together nothing else matters. Helping another human having a better and more comfortable life is a very good thing. ❤️❤️❤️
There's only one pro that I can think of for this geriatric guy Thornton to have a child at his age. He and his child will be able to have their diapers changed at the same time. It is the ultimate act of selfishness.
Under 'dullard' in the dictionary, you'll see a photo of Mark Thornton.
Mark is a drama king. Punched a guy and many disagreements with many expats. Not a popular guy. People stay away from this creep.
I don't like how he talks to his wife. He talks down to her. Anyone else notice this?
@@thomassnew1053 yes very bad how he is such a ass
@@thomassnew1053 yes he does he is such an ass.
Not only that, he taught her how to vlog so she earn money to feed herself.
Terrible man. He needs to be reported to the immigration for taking advantage of a child, her wife now.
You are a creep, Mark is a good guy!
Good for Mark and his wife, it is their decision nobody else's, trolls should try minding their own business for a change.
Mark doesn't seem to happy with the interview. He wont even look into the camera. He's way too old to father a child. Plus he's had heart bypass surgery. How much longer does he really have?
Only God knows. Tomorrow is guaranteed to no one, no matter the age.
Bypass surgery is a common procedure these days, I had mine 15 years ago and I'm fine. But how much longer do you have? Go round judging people's mortality or life expectancy, it's your own fears you are expressing. Many ways to die, what's yours?
He’s had more than one His heart is very weak. When he has another in the Phil’s he won’t make it because he has no insurance
Probably not much longer in the Philippines anyway. What a loser.
Always enjoy your channel Gary. You seemed a little nervous though (not sure why) God bless your family!
I already fathered 3 wonderful kids now their grown.. Working and Grinding on that American Hamster wheel for 30years I just can't see myself at 62yo retired with a baby.. Retirement/not changing diapers.
I love you guys. 👍👍
enjoy new family
Thank you!
My late deceased husband and I had no children of our own together for myself when he was alive before he passed away, because he was already a basictomy when i meet him years back, so before we got married we both agreed that no child anymore. Since he already have 2 sons on his previous married. But unfortunately my younger sister siblings next to me is very poor and have 6 children with her husband. So I helped them out of raising their children's and also providing educational financial. Because they really wants to get a higher education for a better life that has a better offers of paying jobs! And finally they are experiencing of working now! I believes that God's has a purpose for me in other way, as a Filipinos being a family oriented it is part of our culture to help with each other! Lol 😂 but i regret it no matter what...👏🙌
God has a purpose for all that put their trust and faith in him. Thank you.
Hey it beats being a 'pay piggy' for a ready made family whose dad deserted their children and left a foreigner provider to pick up the pieces. Makes for a stronger family connection to have your own child together. If it gives an older man a purpose for living and taking better care of himself, it is a positive thing. Why is it a great thing to adopt children who aren't your own and a bad thing to have your own? Also, I believe there is an extra benefit for those living on social security. I don't really see a downside IF you really WANT more kids.
Super bad idea ... But that's his nightmare now.
Agree that child will grow up in a 3rd world country, 3rd world education, terrible medical care, so Ignorant.
Hi Gary, great interview. God bless. From Chris in Australia
Thank you Chris. God Bless
Hello Mark, I'm happy for you. As long as your happy everybody is happy. Age doesn't matter that's your choice. take care that bundle of joy. They grow so fast. Thanks for sharing. God Bless.
Thank you, I agree with you!
Does Mark have grandkids in the US? Grandkids are a blessing and they need their grandparents around.
I would not mind more kids. I have means and probably about 25-30 more years of decent mobility/life. She wants them, but has issues, so it may not happen. Not opposed, not worried.
Thanks for the comment and watching. God Bless
I want to hear from adults who had an elderly parent.
There are plenty out there.
Oops, I meant 20:09
Mark is so miserable. You had to drag him through that interview so kudos to you, Gary, for making it work.
Gary should of asked Mark about the assault at the coffee shop. "Let's get ready to rumble"
At his age he shouldn't have a baby, the baby will never see its father whne he grows up what a damn fool.
@@thomassnew1053 I am not a Mark fan, Why keep rehashing old news,
There are comments here that makes me angry guys it doesnt matter the age to have a baby as long as their happy enjoy life dont put things complicated and miserable of the donts bec the father is not that young enough to those foreigner dont mind those stupid basher wishing all of you a happy life in the philippines
How's your angry problem I hope you got some help
We all get angry on occasion. For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.
@@americanchristianinphilipp960 Thanks very true but this man attacked other men and appears to keep his anger and I'm sure you know brother be angry and sin not I mentioned it because he needs to repent he is dangerous. His sin is hurting others not just himself and he is unstable I saw what he did on video and he is not falling short He is not even trying or he would not defend his actions and try to justify them. I hope he reads this and can find Jesus through you God bless you and your family take care stay blessed
Mark needs to find Jesus Christ
@@thomassnew1053 His heart is closed. But, nothing is impossible with God.
Teach him Spanish and Chinese....with the English those 3 and you can speak with 90 percent of the world
I really think the decision to have a child at that age is totally up to the individual who cares what other people think but one thing that does bother me very much especially with what he was saying that people like Brad Pitt aren't with their children that is true but they do support their children Mark cannot afford this child this child will be supported by the United States taxpayers through Social Security Maybe there is a law being proposed that anybody who's never been in the United States will not be able to be a beneficiary to Social Security some more or less children born overseas will no longer get Social Security and I think that's how it should be why should the taxpayers bear the burden of a child who has never even been to the country. I definitely support that in the new Social Security bill that will be coming up this year
Hi Marty. Thanks for the comment.
ur nuts too
Meanwhile, we as taxpayers, are supporting 20 million illegal`s that have invaded our country ???
And we are picking on Mark ???
The empire known as America is dying my friends !
We better get our priorities straight...
If you feel that way, I hope you or your loved ones are never in need, nor accept/receive any government benefits. I do not want to pay for people for such an attitude as that either.
to Mark... whatever you do don't let your wife read a book on body language. :)
Since I don't think anyone else is knowledgeable on body language, I'll say it. You look like you have the weight of the world on your shoulders (slumping, not looking at the camera very often and a look of depression) while talking about your situation. I know you are happy all in all, but....
A baby is a gift from God!
Amen. Thank you.
Mark was all for having a child when he realized his social security was going to increase by 50%
That is so right as money is his god
Instead of 900, he will get 1350. All about the money... Wrong reason!
@@Mdmd-do5bh do you hear how desperate he is to get his hands on the extra amount? That is because he now has to make car payments
@@Mdmd-do5bh he will get a little bit more than that because he will get 50% of what his Social Security would have been at 67 not when he retired early at 62 there is a push to stop these payments now in the United States that I support 100%
There is to much divorce and remarriage. God said he hates divorce. Do a video on this and i commend you. As long as your former spouse is alive, and your remarried, your living in an adulterous relationship. Of course God can forgive this sin, but Christians should take a stand for Gods word.
I will be recording a video with Pastor Andrew on this subject in the coming days. There is some truth in your comment but you will discover it may not be an adulterous relationship. Look out for the video in about a week and then comment. Thank you!
It is up to the individual. Im 64 wifes 30 , We have a 5 yr old ,love him like crazy ,always wanted a son and finally have one, I think having a child really strengthened our relationship. The negative ,im getting old fast now after 60 And slowing down.
You got plenty of good years left in you! Enjoy the blessings God has given you!
I’m 58 and no way will have a child. Mark’s wife, though very pretty, is extremely demanding. From babies, to the car to building a house for her. Mark is broke and lives check to check. CZcams helped him but that’s drying up with his fight
He is tapped out..
She will leave him for another foreigner. He can’t provide for her anymore is what I am hearing
How do the PH view race mixing? While many people consider Asians white with Asian ethnicity, others say it’s a totally different race. Many countries don’t want foreigners having biracial marriages and biracial kids because they know it could ultimately dilute their race, culture and gene pool. I notice biracial people all over never really have a solid racial identity. I also have seen mixed race couples don’t understand the identity issues mixed kids could endure. Does the PH look at biracial Filipinos as Asian, the other race they’re mixed with or other? Just curious about it.
As usual the child's the one who suffers the most!!! Irresponsible!!
I disagree but thanks for watching!
IF YOU DIDNT PLAN ON STARTING A FAMILY IN YOUR COUNTRY OF ORIGIN, NOT SURE WHY YOU WOULD ABROAD.
He is creating future Amerasian boy.
Can we say fools..you awto be old enough to know better...sleep in! He bed ya made...lol
