i am getting fed up with the way people talk down to me the latest being an estate agent who clearly thinks i can't afford a house not only do i have to show him our mortgage agreement he also wants to see our bank statement showing our deposit, even though i have already instructed a solicitor and paid £200 and paid for a survey which hasn't taken place yet, the agent we are selling through says this is not normal. I've also had this in the past when buying a new car/van, tools for the business. I've also had the dentist assume i'm on benefits.
We run a building business and i'm a harassed mum of 3. i dress casually because i do a triple school run and work from home i also have a 2yr old so flat shoes are a must. I'm 33 but people usually guess my age at mid 20's and are shocked that i have an 9yr old. I'm a size 14 if that makes a difference.
I usually wear straight legged jeans with converse and have started wearing scarves which is attracting positive comments. I always use an across the body bag either a cath kidston or a boden silver leather one. my hair is cut into a short bob which i'm getting used too, it used to be long and always tied back and i wear natural looking makeup. From talking to dh (who is the same age but looks 10yrs older due to working outside) last night he agreed maybe it was because i always dress casual and look younger than i am, how am i meant to dress when meeting with estate agents and doing day to day errands and just to be taken a bit more seriously and not treated as a young mum.
