very annoyed

So I'm at target with my son and his grandma, we re coming up to the check out and I'm holding my son. The check out women says "aww, how cute. How old is he?" And I go " he ll be 5 months nxt week" , she says " o and are you his big sister?" So that's when grandma chimes in like i can't say it " no that's his mommy. The check out women takes one look at me with disgust and says " how old are you?" Like that's any of her business so I say " I'm 18" she turns to grandma smiles and says "wow that's kind of young" ya thanks for making my dad. Then grandma s like you shouldn't be mad when I'm with you that's what everyone's thinking. That's why I have a problem going out with her and my son , because she's only 37 and looks young so everyone thinks my son is hers. N I want them to know he's mine, cuz I'm proud that he's my son.

Get used to it because it will happen for years! I'm 27 and still get these stupid comments.

Get used to it. I am 28 and I still look like a teenager. No one ever thinks my kids (4, almost-8, and 12) are mine, even when I go out with them alone.

It's not worth getting mad over, because it's not going to stop for a long time.

Ya and I look young too, my face doesn't really age . Just looks tired.

Ya know, I really don't understand why every young mom gets SOOOOO offended when someone asks how old they are or thinks that they are the baby's older sibling or something like that. Why does everyone take it as an insult? It's really not.

 I have the same problem. I'm nineteen and my son is 10 months and my mom is 41 and she looks so young. Everyone always thinks that Jackson is hers whenever we go somewhere together, and then I get the dirty looks. Stupid people

Still happens to my dad. We went to the store with dd and someone thought he was dds dad/my SO. Super awkward!

I only get upset if the person gets rude or derogatory towards me being a young mom. If someone just mistakenly thinks I'm the big sis I don't care, I just correct them.
But yesterday I got upset because the waiter didn't even card me! I DO NOT look that old bish! Lmao. I was like damn, I need to get some aging cream or something. That is way more offensive than being mistaken for being younger than you are.

I get it all the time

My older bro was graduating high school the same year my lil bro started kindergarten and both parents were busy so he took my lil bro to enroll. I heard from my mom later that someone with the school asked if it was his son and he replied something like "yes.............no you idiot, i'm 18" lol..

I haven't ever gotten hateful/rude looks or comments even though i was pregnant at 19, I guess I look older (ppl said 23.. i'm only just now 21).. But if it WAS me in your shoes i'd be frustrated but start making it a point to wear 'i love my baby' stuff or talk to him in third person as you get to the checkout or whatever. Instead of 'i' use 'mommy'. lol

AND enjoy it!! It might suck now, but they ain't you! And it means you get to look younger, longer. Imagine what you'll look like at 50 compared to the cashier that just insulted you! haha

eh, i just ignore those comments. most people thought my son is my brother or that i was baby sitting. to make it worse when my younger (by almost 4 years) sister had him they thought he was hers.
