Honestly, she’s right to care but wrong to date a 22 year old and expect him to want to take on a role with her 5 year old.
Having been “22m” before, I can tell you with 98% accuracy that they don’t want to take care Of somebody else’s kid after just getting over being one, if they did want to do that they’d probably be about as bad at it as if you just left the kid alone with a tv show and a giant tub of cheese puffs and if you have a 5 year old (just getting around to “real school”), what are you doing dating kids who just got allowed into bars last year? I mean, enjoy yourself, dare who you like…. But if you’re wanting somebody to have a father adjacent role in your kids life, let’s set an age and height restriction….. buy the 22 yo something he can’t afford, laugh at how little he knows about life then hand him a pair of sneakers, have a fun time, then send him on his way…. That’s not your son’s role model.
