Hello
Me and my partner are 23 - we are WTT in 2016 when we are 25. I feel very excited about my future pregnancy and our children but one thing makes me worry and its my 'youthful' looks. I am constantly told I look 16. Sales people come to my door and ask if my parents are in (which is handy as I say no and they bugger off!) Im ALWAYS ID'd and was ID'd for party poppers the other day and a 15 film which was embarrassing. At work (hca agency) people ask if im old enough to be working and when I state my age are shocked and tell everyone to ask my age. I get told how young I look when im out shopping and I have perfected the fake laugh through gritted teeth when every single person says 'you'll be grateful for that when your older'. For now I can deal with this, its just annoying, but im worried im going to get awful comments, looks and rude people when I become pregnant as they will think I am much younger than I am. The thought of it really makes me think about and feel for the young and teen mums!
Has anyone gone through this or worry about this aswell?
how would you handle it?
