Today we talk about personal responsibility, for family and society. Tell us what you think!

[manwork]

to have children is one thing, to raise them correctly and educate adequately for a better future is another...

[vbry]

It really doesn’t matter what other people say, it’s totally your decision and I’m sure whatever you decide it will work out good for you both now or in the future.

[dannywirtz]

Having a child knowing you won’t be around to raise it is just sad, my opinion.

[dayadventureswithgasper]

Thank you for sharing your thoughts on personal responsibility, both for our families and society. The topic of retiring in Thailand, living with a Thai partner, and the decision of whether or not to have children is certainly a deep subject. Thanks for your insights.

[koufax]

It’s up to two people to decide what they want. No one has the right to tell you what to do. For me I never had children and never will. I see the true responsibility and I can’t subject a child of mine to the terrible future. Of course everyone has a responsibility about climate changes.

Your lucky to have a beautiful caring loving Thai lady.

What a special video: "Have a baby or not?"
I am glad that we can not control of everything in life(yet). To have or to have not?(Shakespeare...). Let your feelings be your guide on the path that is called life!
Thanks for sharing your thoughts in this video.

If they are financially capable. Have a child.

[KwakaRallye]

I had my first child at 31 and my second child at 47. Its hard work and IMO not for people in their 60s. You need to at least have a chance of providing circa 20 years of support. I still call my Mother now for advice on some matters and I'm 50 years old lol.

[NKP]

Nice to see you guys discussing issues, Odin at our age I cannot raise another child, but I do regret only having 1, I wish I dad more .
I try to live life and enjoy, I do not think 🤔 of climate change but Do not go the excessive ways of my past .

[morphogen]

If you have relational, domestic, and financial stability then you're good to go - age doesn't matter AT ALL if both adults are happy

I've been coming to Thailand or living in Thailand for 30 years and have seen a number of old men with small children and a much younger Thai wife. It just doesn't add up in the sense department. Just enjoy life, travel, etc .

[fwnm]

I find the way you think truly remarkable.

My wife, originally from the Philippines and now a German citizen, takes a keen interest in the thoughts you have shared regarding climate change and its implications for future generations.

Most of the German expats we have encountered in Thailand seemed less inclined to engage with such topics, often leaning towards conspiracy theories and displaying a rather closed-minded attitude towards the important questions you have raised – at times, uncomfortably misanthropic.

You, however, are refreshingly thoughtful and pleasantly surprising, which is why my wife and I decided to send you a mail.

But... I personally think (I am 59 now and my wife is also much younger than me) it might be to much for us too have more children. My daughter is 17 and I had to raise her up myself for a long time... (mixed daughter, very pretty).

My wife has a boy. Patchwork family. We enjoy but... it's fine :) You develop. Let's see what life will bring you.

Kind regards and best wishes.

Here’s my take. I love kid’s. I love spending time with them, whether it’s playing outdoor activities, indoor activities or just teaching them about fixing cars or home repair. If I were in your shoes, I’d go for it. On the other hand; if I passed away and my partner finds another mate and she gives our baby to Grandma to raise, then I say no. Nann is still young and pretty and she’s not going to have a problem finding another man.

A deep subject. We've got to balance population, using the world's resources, helping people less fortunate and our own wants and desires. The word respect comes to the fore and if we respect each other we will not go far wrong because nobody is perfect. The hiccups we all make contribute to the beauty and ugliness of the world hopefully our best will outweigh the worst. Personally I applaud differences and feel that decisions made around having or not having children is mainly made out of a love for each other. Sometimes love goes on until death but sometimes not.
Perhaps we end up having children in circumstances that are unique but if the child is wanted and loved and is cared for then it is a good decision.

Greetings fr Malaysia. Your partner look's pretty/friendly. Shalom...

[CupOfTea]

Please don't. A child deserves to have father AND mother around when growing up.

[mimosa]

What is the point in having a baby? It is a greatest responsibility one places upon oneself to bring forth another life into THIS world.

Dear Odin, In our winter of life, each day without disease or illness or pain is a blessed day, You already had 2 children. You don’t need one more unless you really want one and you are financially strong enough to have a nanny to take care of the baby and to send him or her to international school later. The goal of your remaining years is to have a most comfortable and worry free life. A child will cost not only money but also your own mental and physical health and your freedom to just pack and travel whenever you like. Isn’t that why we work so hard all our adult life, so that we can be free of worry? We should never let ourselves be forced into a situation that requires a great financial and emotional commitment. As a man, you would be financially responsible for your child.

An honest and open discussion with Naan on this matter is important. You lay your card on the table. This will help Naan make her own decision.

Don’t be surprised when Naan said that sometimes she entertains the thought of having a child with you. Please appreciate such thought. Some women don’t want to have children. Some cannot feel completed without one.

Also, both you and Naan need to be honest with your own expectations of your relationship. You may need someone to support you in your daily life. Naan needs someone she can rely on to help securing a stable future. Those needs are valid and practical. No one should look down on such expectations when they are clearly stated and understood.

Naan seems to be a strong and determined woman. She can easily manage YOUR household. Be kind with your words. Due to your age difference you may forget to treat her as your equal. Help her build her own career and finance. That’s how you can love her best. And later on, anything else you can share with her is just a bonus, a goodbye gift.

Dear Naan, keep having a career so you can be financially independent later on. The money we earned from our own effort is really ours, no one can take it away. Any advice Odin shares with you, please be patient, think about it carefully and appreciate it. Anything from him that you may not like, be calm and speak gently. Remember, there are 50 ways to say No. Love yourself the most. Believe in your own purpose as long as honesty and goodness remain in your heart.

If you love each other and live together and are having sex, then let it happen if it happens .i.e, don’t use contraception. As a man at your age, if you should ensure financial child support till the child is at least 20 years old .
