4 and 41. My 10 year old boy and I already have a cabin on a remote mountain staked out in preparation for the menopause/puberty events. It is our zombie apocalypse.

About the time your wife starts getting these crazy ass hot flashes your daughter will stop talking to you. Good luck

My husband's plan is to try and deploy when I hit menopause. He's concerned there won't be any wars when the time comes.

I dunno. My wife is 41, and my daughter is 18. Honestly, I was expecting a lot of drama, but it never actually materialized.

It could also be that I'm just aloof.

I don't know if it really is an epidemic of dysfunctional families or if there's just hyperbole thrown around to *join in*.   I guess it's probably a fair bit of both.

My wife's menopause lasted until she was 55, couldn't take hormones. But yeah, unless it was a surprise pretty stupid having kids that late.

Same here.  Two motorcycles and an FJ.

Plus, I set up my office to be a sufficient isolation chamber where I can work, play, eat and sleep.

I dunno, I'm 46, my son is 11 ADHD as fuck.

I took him to the doctor yesterday, grabbed some groceries and came back home, wife had cooked dinner and we were eating... he just keeps rambling on and on. I hate to be heartless, but we just spent 5 hours together. I just have to look at him and say, "that's some of the dumbest shit you've ever said." And he keeps rambling.

I have to go in the other room , let my wife deal with him for a while. I dozed off for a bit, then he comes in the room and wakes me up. Fuck.

Look what have been going on the the past.... well time scale is dependent on how deep you want to dig... lets just say the last 50 years.

If you had a functional family count yourself blessed. Most are either dysfunctional, or dysfunctional due to their reactions in trying to avoid dysfunction.

I used to work with an engineer that was determined to have a son.
After three daughters, he tried again.
He got twin daughters on that try for a total of five daughters.
He told me that God was definitely sending him a message and he was going to listen..
