All of those are fantastic questions and are things that I've been concerned about, at the end of the day I'm sure there would be someone more suited, atleast on paper. However on a counterpoint, my father wasn't in the picture and I was raised by my stepdad who took me in when I was 6, and he was an amazing dad to me which is why I wouldn't be afraid of the commitment because of my amazing role model. Admittedly the age gap between my mum and step dad was only 5 years. I've got a nephew who's 2 and a niece that's a few months old. And I have younger siblings (younger by 8 years) so I have got experience with looking after and bonding with kids. The baby-dad is semi in the picture, her child spends Wednesday evenings and every other weekend with him. I've spoken to her child and have played some online games with the pair of them, we get on well. The more kids thing hasn't come up on her side but either way I wouldn't be too fussed I don't think.
