Honey, we are just remembering parenting and enjoying the remembrance... now that it is over! 

See and again, I still live with my father and I hate when young people just bring it all down. Its like seriously thats not how you get respect it drives you crazy becuase if anything they make it worse.

Wow..would you like some crackers with that whine??

The whole baby face thing? I'm 37 and I still get IDed and most people think me and my 17 yr old daughter are sisters...but ya know I still have zero problems with being taken serious when I need to be. I have a job where I have to be to survive. It's all about your attitude, body language and the way you dress.

As for wanting to take revenge, to get even...it tells me you still haven't matured and that may be a lot of your reasons for not being taken seriously. I suggest some counseling.

I agree...this's one of the whinier threads lol however, just because you have a baby face and a baby voice doesn't mean you are doomed and that people will treat you like a kid. It's probably your attitude and/or the way you dress.

Oh here we go. it's gotta be me. I'm probably dressing a certain way or have a child-like attitude.....

I suppose that's it. Thank you to all of those who made fun of me, judged me, laughed at me, and called what I wrote "whining". I'll remember you all in my suicide note. No I'm just kidding. But seriously, someone is reaching out for a little understanding...and you laugh. Hmm should I slit my wrists or hang myself?

LaTigresse, someone (like agirl) may give me legitimately good information. Many people, as I've acknowledged, already had. And I still like when people make me feel better about my circumstances. That's why the thread is still here and not deleted. But I'd rather not see the teasing when I look to see if someone has anything nice to say. I didn't demand it. I simply asked. If they don't stop, I suppose I'll just have to tolerate it.

Please read again as I stated he was 6 years younger than me AND I met him online.  I was 30 and he was 24.  No, I've not had a lot of luck getting men either.  I have 2 ex's who are the same age, 11 years younger than me.  One is current, the other I won't go into when.
You aren't the only one going through this.  In my late 20s people would come into the office and ask "who's kid is she?"  In my mid 20s and pregnant with my third child, I was approached by women saying, oh, it's so cute having your first baby... um... no.
In my early 20s, after having my first baby, people would ask me why I wasn't in school.
Another good one was meeting a guy in a bar when I was 28, and finding out his ID was fake and he was actually 19.  Yea, that was good too...

I could go on, and you can see what you're in for.  But just know you're not the only one who has ever "looked younger" than they were.  And it doesn't matter the "development" either.  I'm a 34DD right now.  Boobs don't make a difference.

Oh, and about the "young" thing. I was 30 and IDd to buy a lottery ticket. An F-ING lottery ticket. Trust me, it does get better, but when you're old and you finally LOOK old, it's not much of a reward.

Edited to add: And I can't tell you how many times I went into a bar and was told I didn't have a real driver's license because that couldn't possibly be my age, or I had borrowed someone's because I was not who I said I was.
And I'll never forget going out with my ex who is 6 years younger than me, and being carded to buy a drink. I didn't have it with me, and so he bought the drink for me. He wasn't carded.

Well it's a rant tigress. It's how I feel. And no one who rants wants to hear how wrong they are. Just like I wouldn't go on a thread that I disagreed with and say 'why' I disagreed, I would expect others to follow that principle and leave threads they don't agree with or like alone. If someone had an abortion and vented in a thread about how they felt about it, it wouldn't be right to go to that thread and complain about how you hate abortion and say that people who abort are monsters. I suppose I expected the same logic to be applied here.

One piece of advice is to use underestimation to your advantage.  There's a lot of power in people not knowing just what you're capable of.  Allowing them to keep their assumptions can give you a lot of room to maneuver.

Edited to add..........The part LA said about using it to your advantage. I simply ADORE being underestimated!!! I am usually a very even tempered nice person. On the few occasions someone has pushed too far, the look of abject terror on their face when I actually got angry with them, was priceless.
