American’s think I look very young

[Bella1]

I was like that too and now I'm 52 and I'm thankkful that I don't look my age but I remember hating it in my 20s. I had DD when I was 27 but people seemed to think I wasn't her mum as I didn't look old enough.

DD is now 25 and has the same problem, she is told she looks about 17 and gets teed off with it.

Some people think it's funny to make remarks but actually it does feel belittling so I really understand where you are coming from but remember that when they are looking old and haggard you will be looking amazing, it took a long time but loving it now!

I am 68 and when we went to Hong Kong Disneyland me and DH pre bought our seniors tickets, £10 each if you are over 65. At the gate they scrutinized my passport because according to them I looked so young, DH was a bit cross they didn't check his 😜
