I've seen them twice! But the most fun concert I've been to was probably green day. They just have amazing state presence! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-people-ever-shocked-that-youre-a-mom#post-360421 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 13:16:31 +0000 Mrs Checkers 360421@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>YES. Just this past Sunday at church, I met an older lady and she asked if I was a student. I said, no actually, I'm married and I have a daughter and she was floored. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-people-ever-shocked-that-youre-a-mom#post-360416 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 13:15:05 +0000 matador84 360416@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes I look super young...like 18! I took my test to be a principal a month ago and the proctor was like "you don't look old enough to be a principal!" I was like...uh...I've been teaching for 8 years, I'm married and just had a baby! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-people-ever-shocked-that-youre-a-mom#post-360403 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 13:05:15 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 360403@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Bee - off topic, but COLDPLAY is my favorite band!!! I've been to several of their concerts... aren't they amazing live?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-people-ever-shocked-that-youre-a-mom#post-360401 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 13:03:05 +0000 heffalump 360401@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. I used to look young. There was a high school class in my college library while I was in grad school, and I was mistaken for one of the high school students. But having a baby has aged me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-people-ever-shocked-that-youre-a-mom#post-360387 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 12:56:55 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 360387@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes - on Hellobee I definitely wouldn't be considered a young mom... but everyone around me has zero kids and don't intend to until they're in their 30s. It seems that people tend to have kids later in big cities like LA/OC... so I get surprised looks all the time when I say I'm already pregnant with my 2nd. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-people-ever-shocked-that-youre-a-mom#post-360273 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 12:18:19 +0000 chopsuey 360273@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope! Haha. I'm pretty shocked I'm gonna be a mom of 2 soon though. I think my family and friends are still in shock too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-people-ever-shocked-that-youre-a-mom#post-360269 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 12:17:48 +0000 Honeybee 360269@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I get that all the time! Granted, I'm on the younger side of motherhood for my area (27), but a lot of people seem surprised that those kids I'm carting around are mine. I used to get asked all the time if I was the nanny. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-people-ever-shocked-that-youre-a-mom#post-360265 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 12:17:28 +0000 Springtime 360265@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep all the time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-people-ever-shocked-that-youre-a-mom#post-360258 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 12:16:30 +0000 Andrea 360258@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Heck no, I look my age. Maybe people will be surprised once I have two kids? But I think I look my age for having one child. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-people-ever-shocked-that-youre-a-mom#post-360256 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 12:16:01 +0000 mrs. wagon 360256@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Bee: hehe, love the compliment. I absolutely love getting carded now. I get really sad when a really young looking waiter doesn't card me. Haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-people-ever-shocked-that-youre-a-mom#post-360237 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 12:10:49 +0000 Mrs. Bee 360237@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I totally look my age (turning 34 soon). I was recently at a Coldplay concert, and my friend and I were entering some sweepstakes. The girl who was taking entries asked if I was married, and I said that I was married with two children! She was shocked and said I barely looked old enough to be married, let alone have two kids.</p> <p>I know I don't look THAT young, but I'll take it!</p> <p>Are people ever shocked that you look old enough to be a mom? </p>
