patsylabrador Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 Went past a school yesterday afternoon and all the Mum's were waiting. I thought ' Crikey, there's a lot of teenage Mums here'. Then I realised that they weren't teenage they were ordinary age to be Mums. It's like all those school children you see dressed up as police officers.

Griffin Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 And the doctors are too young. So true! When Georgia was rushed to A&E about 18 months ago her consultant looked about 17 And Daisys science teacher isn't much older than that I was shocked last week at parents evening Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Busybird Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 Alis girls wrote very long hiar unless very well kept and it aint adds yrs to you Oh dear - that is me 45 yrs old, looking very middle aged and overweight and with hair down to my waist I know it doesn't do anything for me but find it easy to look after as I just wash, brush and tie it up. Very lazy. I was at a friends a few weeks ago and her teenage son (17/18) came home. I hadn't seen him for a while and he has become a real looker - tall, dark, handsome... Now I find that terrifying - that I could find a friends SON attractive! Not as terrifyng as he would find me thinking him attractive of course Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katie-may Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 I must admit it is weird having young people doing jobs I don't remember it when i was younger. Saying that I'll be a qualified teacher (hopefully) when I'm 22 the scary thing is I took a gap year! We had a class each for 6 weeks in March and i felt embarressed when they asked me my age they were only like 12 years younger than me! To be fair thought I prefer the younger doctors and nurses...young pilots scare me though! The worst thing is the 40 odd parents that wear clothes that are too young for me!

Alis girls Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 Some of my ES's friends are lovely - one has a gorgeus smile, another is a flatterer which works well with moi. My son is lovely - tall but is at the awkawrd brace and mild acne stage - but i know I think, am I looking at these lovely boys - all muscley and not a overwieght one. Hot flush coming on. I do find my hair when past my neck ages me - at present it meck length - and I have the frizz too. Lorraine Chase and Jerry Hall manage long hair well and yes they have money. But a girl can dream - i would never ever do anything about persuing a younger man - I am too fond of my old boy OH in other words - he'll do for me ta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My daughter is 12 and is very nearly taller than me, but then most people are. Small but perfectly formed eh Clare ......and don't forget good things come in little packages............. Having said that, some of DS's friends are as tall as me & not a lot taller than DS...I didn't think I was particularly small at 5ft 7 .....and DS takes great pleasure in announcing I have smaller feet than him & I can wear some of his jackets etc...snuggly, but I can get them on Sha x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PurpleTree Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 one of our doctors, who I always seem to see when the boys are ill, looks younger than me. That made me feel old when I first met him, and I'm only 29 He even confessed that he hadn't had any breakfast that morning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlottechicken Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 My new dentist is no older than 14, and really tiny too. All the dental assistants look like schoolgirls too. When did I become old Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very lazy. Me too Alis Girls! I have very long hair and I'm in my 5th decade but hey, I'd be a boring slightly squidge middle aged mother of three if I didn't have my belisha beacon orange frizz-wig to set me apart!! Try actually BEING one of those jobs - I'm a copper, the Chief Constable is about 14, the policemen and women are 12, there are officers coming through now who weren't born when I left college!!!

Alis girls Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 I dont like being old enough to being someones mum even though I am a mum. I do baby imms at work and the first babes I ever injected are 5 onwards - I feel sooo old. The mind is saying "lets party" the body "forget it hon " creak creak.

The Dogmother Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 I had Rosie when I was 35, so I am the oldest mum in her class (as she's fond of reminding me ). All of my contemporaries have children in their 20s now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jlo Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 I trekked up Kilimanjaro with a group a couple of years ago and was old enough to be mother to most of them! I wouldn't mind but I still feel 24 (until I look in the mirror!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of my contemporaries have children in their 20s now. The other way around I'm one of the younger mums at school and I have two children (three in sept).Ds2 is in reception and I'm definitely one of the youngest two parents. I think more people are having children later on generally (except the other extreme of teenage parents) That said, why are all these tweenagers not being stopped from driving?
