till the old age

Hello!

Can you please help me with the following. Should I write this sentence in passive? What about till the old age?

Pure conservatives, unlike the Mutated, their wives call ‘’babies’’ till the old age.

or

Pure conservatives, unlike the Mutated are called babies by their wives till the old age. (until they become old men)

Thanks

Your first sentence isn't correct; if you want to start with "Pure Conservatives", then you have to use the passive. I personally don't like "till the old age"; why not simply "till they're quite old"?
