Do you look your age? Or do you look older or younger than your age?

Over the weekend I met a woman who told me I looked really young (she wasn't being mean or anything, but I was surrounded by my three kids, lol) and I told her not really, I am 26. And she was shocked, she said I could pass for 19!! I was not sure how to take that. I have been told before I look younger than I am, but 19?! She was really really nice and wasn't saying it to be rude or anything but I was kinda surprised.

They card you for those sorts of things if you look under 40.

I think I look my age, I always use to look older, when I was in highschool people thought I was in my 20's. I am sometimes told I look younger now though.

In real life people always think I'm younger, I hate it!

But I made a post on here once to see what everyone thought and everyone guessed years older =)

Younger. I'm 24 and haven't aged since about 16. I still look almost exactly the same as the picture on my state ID that I got at 15. Most people think I'm a teen mom!

1 mom liked this

Yesterday I took a walk with my 2 kids in the stroller. Some lady walks by and says, "Are you a nanny?" I say, "No, these are my boys."

Her: "OMG, did you have your oldest when you were 13??"

Me: "No, I'm almost 28 and he's 5...you do the math."

I get it all the time, but some people are rude lol.

Both, it's weird lol. I'm 22 and most people think I'm 24 or 25. But some people think I'm around 18 and they ask me how I managed to have 3 kids while still in high school.

I'm 20, and I can pass for 15, or 25, depending on how I dress and if I do my makeup. I've gotten some really nasty comments though, because I have two kids, a 4 year old and a 20 month old, and when I look really young, some ladies seem to feel the need to comment, quite viciously, on it.
