I know a few socially through my wife's friends as they did click and collect for younger Russian wives and they do seem less "old" than their ages tbf.
a family friend did this in his 70s. the main issue seems to have been that when he sent his latest child to the same school as he'd sent his older children, the older children had in the meantime grown up and in turn sent their children there. same school as your uncle was a bit weird.
Very good friend of mine has just had his second at age 50. Classic story of years of IVF to get the first one (which they eventually did) then 7 years later she gets duffed again naturally (mum is 47). They are absolutely over the moon, but it looks like bloody hard work and must have put his retirement back a decade at least.
A guy I know had a vaz after number 3. Was all going well until his wife became pregnant with twins - turns out he was the 1 in however many thousand whose tubes reconnected spontaneously. He was 52 and the wife mid 40s with existing 8, 6 and 2 year olds...
I must have suggested to the wife a thousand times we get a live in hot nanny to help with the "workload" (you see it in films a lot) but she won't be persuaded.
I can't think of anything worse than being an older father. I am so glad I was under 40 when I bashed my two out. I'd rather lose an arm than have another kid. Hence the immediate vasectomy after child two.
My youngest uncle is 4 months older than me, but to be fair my Dad was the eldest and they banged out another 6 kids in between oldest and youngest so wasn't exactly a surprise as such. Just one every 3 years or so...
just took me a fair old while to feel ready to have kids. We met when I was 26 and he was 37 with a few long term relationships and one failed engagement under his belt. Didn’t start sprogging until 35/47.

Link to the third is that it's a nice to have for those of us who are less prolific.

I think 4 is the magic number but that ain't happening without twins.

Not heard the expression geezerdad! I like it.
I'm guessing Rhamnousia is a female of a certain age whose shrivelled ovaries are making her bitter and jaded about life's injustices.

OK, you may substitute "old dad" if it helps you get your head round the concept.

Hi Bullace. Are you new in town?

Thinking about it, i think I did coin the phrase but I did call someone that not so long ago so it has been used other than in my head.

bullace, you are so wrong about Rhamnousia. Ovaries have nothing to do with it, she has always been like this.

Mr tc will be 50 next year and we’re thinming about no 3
i think it’s fine (although geezerdad is a dreadful expression and also not descriptive in the slightest - when does geezer equate with being old)
presumably your second is not that old so it’s not like you’re not already in the thick of it, parenting wise

Certainly thinking of No. 2 for next year when I will be 51 and Mrs Blue 41.

Also get a better RoI on prams and toys etc. the more kids you have. Key consideration.
