Raise your hand if people ever mistake you for your child/ren sister!

I am so tired of looking like I'm 13 or 14. I have 3 boys who are almost 6, almost 5, and 2 next month. Needless to say, people keep calling me my childrens sister. I say no, I'm their mom or my kids will pipe up and say that I'm their mommy. But blah. Drives me nuts. So, how old do you think I look and do you ever get mistaken as the big sister?

This is me with my 4 year old son. I'll say how old I am in a few minutes. Don't want to jade your opinions.

Oh yeah it also doesn't help that my adopted siblings are in the same age group as my boys and stepsons.

You look about 18...people mistake me for younger than I am also and I sound like a little girl on the phone still too and when I'm making an appointment or something they always ask how old I am and are shocked when I say 19...but whatever.

Also, this comes with being a young mom...getting mistaken for an older sibling...

agreed. to many people, especially older people, have a hard time believing that there are so many young moms now a days.

i've never been mistaken for being my kid's siblings.

i think in one part, it's how you present yourself, and how you appear.

looking at this picture i'd think you are 18
