“One boy said, ‘you’re not my dad,’ and I had to remind him, ‘I’m not trying to be your dad.’ I don’t see myself as their dad – you’re a substitute mum and dad. She is at the point where she’s learning just enough day by day to know that knowing things is cool. I don’t think we’re any more protective of her than we would be if she was a boy.
