ok so i'm reaching one of those milestone bdays later in the year.
Friend (who is several years younger than me and doesn't like the fact that SHE is getting older), keeps making jokey comments about my age. e.g. saying to my DC "mummy's going to be REALLY old!"
I don't think she realises that i don't find her comments funny. Maybe she would be mortified if i told her how i felt? She strikes me as one of those people who talk and think later.
AIBU ?

ModernToss sounds like she has a mental age of alot lower if she doesn't understand the time span of a 'generation'

neither of you are being unreasonable.

she doesn't know it's getting to you unless you tell her.

Tell her it's getting to you, YANBU to get wound up if she won't let it go. I'd be tempted with a reply of "if you don't shut up you won't reach your 40th!" but then I don't have many friends either Grin
