I got mistaken for my DS grandmother today.

I was waiting in an office with him today reading AARP magazine. They switched it to my name after my Mom died. Normally I throw them out but there was a llama article on the cover so I wanted to read it.

Older woman tld me I have a very cute Grandson and asked how many I have. I didn't know whether to laugh, cry, or trip her so I simply said I was reading it for the story about Llamas. She reminded of all the discounts I'm eligible to receive.

I got that I'm an old Mom but not at grandparent level. Im annoyed and amused.

This happened to one of my friends. Twice. She had her daughter at 37 and she doesn't look old enough to be a grandma AT ALL. But I have to say, we're trying for another child and I'll be 35 in August, it does cross my mind that it's possible it could happen to me.

People are stupid. I'm sorry.

I had my first grand before I was 40. It's possible to be a young grandparent.

I'm still not AARP eligible though.

I had my DS when I was 39. I know I don't look young but not at the grandma level.

I have been mistaken for Rocco's grandmother before. I am 42. It stung.

My Mom had a brother at 42 I was 17 & the comments are great.

I was told my "son" was the cutest for his first Christmas photos.

My Mom cried, I was pissed,

People are stupid.

Just so you know, she was probably mortified and felt really bad. Last week I met a new neighbor and mentioned to the man I had spoken to his wife..............she was his mother.

I've done this before. My neighbor is in his forties and I always saw a woman coming in with groceries and the like. One day I asked how his wife was. He looked at me like I was crazy and said he lived with his mom.
