Grrrrrr I'm 24 (soon to be 25) and been commented on 'being a young mum' gets to me....why are people quick to label me as a young mum just because other people, nowadays, are choosing to have children later on in life?
I mean, back in their 'olden days' they were getting married at 19/20 and having masses of children at 21 so why is it so special to comment on me being a young mum?
Do you hear them saying to others 'ooo your an old mum' or 'your a granny mum!' Errrr no! So why try and make me feel inferior and like a nothing by stating the obvious that 1. I am young 2. I am a mother and impending mother to my bump.
I have no idea why these comments affect me so deeply despite trying to work it out. All I know that if I comment on them like 'you look too old to be a mum' or 'crikey your an old mum' - I'd get the daggers!! (I have never said those things as its too disrespectful and I appreciate ppl have kids at diff times).
So spare a thought for us 'young mothers' when jumping to categorise and stereotype us or else you might just get several daggers! lol.
Rant officially over. (Phew!) X
