Your age does not really matter too much: perceived "too young" or "too old" is only that - a perception.
Good parenting depends very much on your overall life goals and your commitment to your children, irrespective of the relationship that you have with the mother / father of the children. Your age really should not factor at all. You can be a good parent at any age - the attitude and commitment that you set out with, is the key aspect - both for the well being of your child and for yourself.
Cheers.

I agree, however, while age technically doesn't matter much, maturity level and experience absolutely does. I'm a much better father to my 6month old than I ever was to my 21 year old when he was an infant.
