LOL, nutty, our babysitter's mom has 7 kids. Babysitter is 2nd and 21. The youngest is 3. Everyone thinks that the 3yr old is the babysitter's kid and mom's grandkid. She's constantly getting weird looks when she says that he's hers! People are weird and will make comments no matter what. At least you and DH can get a chuckle out of it.

My dad had women swooning over him at the Farmer's Market when he was holding Gwen asking him if he was the father. He's 55. Cracked me up b/c he turned bright red and started stuttering it was his grandkid while shoving her into my arms. I told him most women would be flattered to think they look young enough to be their grandkid's mother.

Noooo Mutt gosh women and men procreating over the age of 40, bloody disgusting if you ask me....and I sure didn't know that women's uterii still work after the age of 40 and can incubate young.....NOOOO say it ain't say JOE. Do ya feel a bit put out that I said it was funny. Mutt deigned to specifically quote that I said I thought it was funny when DGD and H are out that people ask how old OUR DD is. Not sure why it was so interesting to Mutt but IT DID have nothing to do with anyone but H and I, you know doing that meet and smile over at eachother, it's a personal joke. Good grief no, DGB is not ours we stopped 20 years ago, I also said it could just be conversation who knows. So when we encounter this situation we cock our head to the side and meet each others eyes and smile that little smile that says no we can give this one back. Ok. I pointed out that my DH was 45 when our first was born and 40 was an age when it could be either kid or Grandkid. I won't be a grandma at 40 so I don't know how I would feel being asked that. But it doesn't seem that uncommon. I think most people would rather error on the side of "oh is this your child" vs "oh is this your grandchild" because it insinuates that you are younger.

When I was in junior high, two class mates got married and had two children. Age unknown. She had a fatal disease and later died. At HS reunions this guy always wins the oldest kids and grandkids.

Oh I agree Mutt, I don't care how old people are that have babies I give them props because when I have Scarlett over night or for the day I am EXHAUSTED. I am very glad I had mine when I did because I see new parents my age I go Oh my gawd I am tired just thinking about having babies at my age let alone starting a family.
I know I get tired but I also know that mommy or daddy will be picking her up and I can get in my jammies and eat my ice cream and not wake up in the middle of the night ( unless she is staying the night) PHEW it sure is tiring.
Edited to add. I do believe that the conversation is just that 99 % conversation, it's not that we look young at all. Either way it still brings a smile to my face and to H face with our personal joke off...HELL NAH.
