to be cross with sons friends mum?

[nickschick]

Ds is 17 and yesterday we went to college to collect his As level results,when we got there we met with his friend and his friends mum,whom id never met - her son gave me a hug as all teens seem to do these days and then he and my son stopped to chat to some other pals leaving me with the other boys mum.

I thought we chatted quite nicely about results etc etc and was a bit gobsmacked when the boys returned and all of a sudden she said 'ohhhh your xxxxx's mum!!!!'.

Im 36 wed just held a reasonably intelligent convo and id walked in with ds,her son had greeted me - who else could I be??

I understand she may have thought I was younger or his sister or whatever but to simply say that ???

All I could think to say was 'well he calls me mum so i must be [smile'.

What mystery nickschick?

nickschick - May I just say 'apostrophes please!'

well i took nickschick post to mean that maybe the other mother was almost looking down on her for having her ds so young ....... like she was trying to work out how old you were when you had him

Nickschick, from what I clearly remember of living in Oldham, having your PFB at the age of 18 is by no means unusual.
Many manage it at 16 or less.
OH used to be at being mistaken for a grandfather.

Goblin .....elmo i think that was how i felt but you put it into words for me ,Orm .....apostrophes schapostophes .

I was 19 when i had ds ....

The mystery??

DH dropped ds1 off at some event at the same time other boys mum dropped other boy off therefore they met each other .......dh is 17 years older than me,thats why she was shocked (i think).

"I understand she may have thought I was younger or his sister or whatever but to simply say that ???"

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

Who are you kidding, OP?

Oh and btw, I am simply furious. I've just got back in from the shops where the rudest woman mistook me for Eva Mendes. Honestly, I am hopping mad! How very dare she etc etc...

The local green grocer said i had a look of Angelia Jolie about me.
I was highly offended:)
Op, you're fishing for compiments. Go away.

I do hope you told him where to get off, curryfreak. Terrible behaviour.

Cupcakes - I hope you slapped her!!

Well, of course I did, after repeating it very loudly so that everyone in the immediate vicinity heard it. Upset me no end, it did.

Well, nickschick, it could be worse. My uncles dw was chatting to a stranger once with her ds2 in the buggy when said stranger said "So you must be the granny"
She was not impressed.

Well I'm not suprised really.... so bloody rude. Glad you told him though.

Quite frankly, I'm tired of being told I look like Eva Longoria - I just sigh and roll my eyes now....

It does get rather irksome, being told that you're young/beautiful looking. I'm almost on the edge of a breakdown, I get so many compliments a day.

Just stop it, everyone, please. I'm not sure how many moe compliments I can take!

I have come to terms with most of it tbh, having had it all my life - it's the eye lashes at the moment, people keep drooling over them....

ffs go read another thread you miserable bloody people

I gave birth in a ward full of teens who hopped out of bed and pulled their pre-pregnancy jeans on, whilst adding the slap and juggling the baby without difficulty.
I was briefly reassured when the latest member of the ward looked at least in her twenties, until I talked to her and found out that it wasn't her PFB but her 5th PB.
nickschick, you're heading for a mumsnet slapping, you know that don't you?
Yorkshire St on a Saturday night would be less risky.

Chipping He is 4 mths and a bit now. He is frickin HUGE! So blumming yummy though, a real sweetheart (just bloody HUGE!)

lmao chipping u know way to much .....are you a police person????

nickschick - you just never know...

TFMD - 4 FOUR, 4 months?! I'm not if I am more suprised at how big he is for 4 months or that he's been with us for 4 months - where did the time go?? He is indeed yummmmy :)

if u were, chipping id be interested in your opinion on something

Sorry mate, I'm not - but there are some lovely ones on here (can't remember names off of the top of my head though) - try a new post asking....

Good Luck...

I was mistaken for my children's grandmother this week. I am 32 :(

Its a very awkward situ,chipping .

Olifin at 32 in Oldham youd probably be a grandma lol

32 year old grandmas are becoming rather common, if Jeremy Kyle is to be believed. Don't take it to heart

Thanks ladies! To be fair, thanks to my years of slight over-excess, I think I could be perceived to be mid-late thirties and the woman who asked me the question comes from an area where young Grandmas are pretty common, I think. Initially, I thought she meant I look mid-60s, since that's how old my children's grandparents are!
