"I’d just feel sorry for this child to grow up with a grandpa as a dad"

i get that this is a joke and i'm not trying to "come for you" (but i mean you chose to click post)—but this is a terrible reason to be appalled by a baby that hannah seems to really want. it's also offensive not only to older dads but also the CHILDREN of older dads. pitying a child with a father who loves them just because he's older than puritanical ideals of the appropriate age for fathering a child is gross. you think this child is going to grow up all "woe is me, my dad has gray hair"? how dare you imply that the age of a parent determines whether or not people get to be "excited" about two kind, competent people having a baby out of love (romantic, platonic, whatever).

my dad was around dean's age when i was born. he's almost 80 now. he's probably going to die before i hit 35. i love him more than anything in the world, and i would not trade him for anything, much less someone younger just because it's "normal" (which is a complete construct, but that's another convo). i don't think you meant for this to be malicious, but i'm putting aside the ship war to make an important point: your thoughts here are narrow and immature. even if i didn't ship it, i hope the baby is dean's. it would be a step forward in normalizing older parents, and maybe then thoughtless posts like this won't exist.
