Just have some life insurance (or equivalent) set up to cover costs should the statistics catch up to him or you. At that age his parents can’t help out like they would if he were younger.
My partner’s parents are both very old compared to norms. It’s fine. One benefit is that they were financially stable and once they retired they were able to spend more time with their adolescent kid.
My wife and I had this discussion when we got married, she was angling for another kid and I was like "Roll forward 17, 18 years, do you want to be paying for college at retirement age?"
Our first kid is grown, out of the house, married, his degree is 100% paid off... I really don't want to be doing that again in my 60s.
I have two friends born to parents of similar ages as that. Both have had very happy families. One was an only child. The other had a similar age gap with his half siblings, they didn't interact much while he was growing up, but now that he's an adult they hang out all the time. It seems like both friends have had to deal with more challenging losses of parents earlier in their lives than typical, but there's no guarantee about tomorrow anyway.
Any age.
If there are foster kids available who need a home, then it is immoral to make more children
But i would say most people 30+ are fine adopting.
Breeders on the downvotes 🙄
The previous president of Finland, Sauli Niinistö is currently 77-year-old and his firstborn is 7.
That means the child will see his dad die at a far too young age, most likely. But otherwise, meh. He'll be a different kind of father, but a good father all the same.
The question: how angry would he be if his father was 25 years older than he actually is? Would he prefer not having been born at all under such circumstances? I bet he wouldn't oppose his own existence, for such a reason at least. And neither will his child.
I'd say fuck it!
You're never too old to rock'n'roll if you're too young to die. Know nothing about kids, though...
good bot.
Since you said in my opinion, any age. Kids suck. Lets just die off as a species

i think 35 is a good hard stop, and honestly, this should be more your decision to make than his. he should have understood marrying someone so much younger might bring this possibility.
the age difference in siblings is irrelevant... at least to the kids. not sure why he would feel 'strange'
i say go for it. youre only here once.
