Don't discount step-children. At 36, I became step to an 8yr-old girl, and we get on great.
Of course, the missus(a year younger than me) and I look at our 16 month-old, and wonder what the hell we were thinking, since we'd orginally not planned any more chirruns...
You just never know how things are gonna work out, and have to go with it.
If you'd told me ten years ago, that I would, at 38, be a stay-at-home-dad, with a pre-teen and a toddler, I'd have had a good laugh.
Had I the option of a 'do-over', it's hard to say what I would choose. I am not particulary ego-centric, and have not minded centering my world on someone else.
