A
father age
45+ when a child is born. A fossil
dad is usually unable to play with his kids due to physical limitations brought upon by advanced age. Fossil dads combine the grumpiness, intolerance, and ignorance of today'
s price levels of a grandparent with the lack of understanding of a regular-age
dad. Infrequently spotted with fossil moms.
There are
two types of fossil dads:
1) The most common by far are dads who had children with Mom 1 on a normal schedule, then shacked up with younger Mom 2 who wanted her own kids and found himself awake at 3am cleaning poop off his sleeve for the first time in 20 years.
2) Less common are the first-timers who, for reasons of religious commitment or other strictures took a little
extra time to find "the right woman for him."
