But it's like they always saw me as "older" growing up, but once I got married and was completely independent I was seen as the opposite????

That had to be fustrating that it was the people that knew the real you! I was always more advanced than my peers too, people that actually tried to get to know me called me "the mom" because that's who I've always been. I got married 6 days after my 18th birthday, so many acquaintences told me it would fail, I was making a mistake, I was too young to know what love is, blah blah.
Yep I have no idea.
I was thankful I haven't gotten much flack for being a young mom! Except from my discharge nursed after I had my first, people at church, and women at some mom groups. None of it was based on me, just assumptions about young mamas. You know what they say when you assume.
Haha, back to the thread though! I shouldn't rant. Yep 23 on 12-25, it'll be an interesting day as all my birthdays have been. Since were on the subject of age if you're willing to share your birthday please do!
in a post.

: whatever that's supposed to mean. I don't get the speech anymore. I just get the big eyed gawk then I'm not talked to anymore. 
When I was getting married I was questioned all the time, that drove me nuts.
