I need your help to come up with a one liner when people think I’m my husband’s mother/ my friend’s mother.
I’m 53 and have silver hair. For reference, I’m a few months older than my husband, who is bald.

I don’t need advice on style or dyeing my hair - just mumsnet style cutting response that going to help my combat me feeling shit.

Thanks

Why do you feel that you need to make a cutting response? Do you believe people are being nasty, or is it a genuine mistake? If it's a genuine mistake, then surely a polite correction is the way to go.

Well, I think it was Eleanor Roosevelt who said;

'I'm not his mother. Just a bad MuthaF**ka'

Actually, it could have been Lil Kim, anyway give it a go. Bound to elicit some sort of response...
