I'm in my mid 20s and I see more and more people my age(or slightly younger) having kids, something I've been kinda longing for recently.
I went to the hair salon yesterday. The girl who did my hair was very nice and a good conversationalist, so I don't think she meant any harm nor offense. This girl was my age, and later it was revealed that she's married with 2 kids of her own. When I first sat down in the salon chair, I thought I heard her ask me, "Are you a mom?" but I wasn't sure if I heard right, so I asked for clarification, and turns out what she really asked me was "Is that your mom?" in reference to the woman who'd coincidentally entered the salon the same time I did.
:(
What a demotion, to go from being perceived as motherly, to being mistaken for a teenager that needs her mommy to drive her to the salon! In reality, I haven't gone to the salon with my mom in 10yrs...back when I was 15, before I had my driver's license. But I realize that I look young...I look 17.
