When I was 14, I took my nephew to Sam Goody's in the mall to look at CDs while my sister was in another store and I got soooooo many dirty looks and heard mutterings about "babies having babies." I WAS 14!!!! They couldn't even mistake him for my baby brother or something??

OMG that happened to me at Sam's when I was 15. I had my baby cousin with me at Sam's Club, and this old man kept staring at me. When my mom came back to our table with food, the man goes up to my mom and says "isn't it a joy to be a grandmother?" and then gives me a funny look. I didn't get it at first but a little later I was I was 15...and probably didn't look a day over 11, and he automatically thought I was the mother?

^^^Girl, the things we go through watching other people's kids! Now, when I actually have some of my own, I bet people will think they are my siblings or cousins.

Maybe people just thought I was white trash....which would not be hard to think of in the town I live in! I cannot tell you how many times I have been out with a younger kid, cousin, babysitting, whatever, and I got some comment about "my kid". The comments started when I was around 13!
