Just had a baby at 44. Before that, when I walked with my brood, people made comments like, are they all yours etc. Haven't had a comment like that since she was born but 3 times now I have been asked if I was the babysitter. I little oriental woman just stopped me after church and asked if I was minding the baby for someone and when I said no, walked away saying oh. I confess, it is starting to hurt my feelings, especially when they are staring at my face (in all it's wrinkled glory!). I know I am an older mom, I guess I should be glad they don't ask if I am the grandmother but I find the comments a little, I don't know, insensitive maybe. Or, is it just my vanity is hurt. I guess I shouldn't let it bother me but it making me a little paranoid!
