[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] My mother's hair started going white when she was 16 and her chronic illness (MS) made her look old beyond her years. Don't assume, OP. I am very careful not to. [/quote] Op here. I’m in my 40s. I’m not exactly a young mom either. I have friends in their 40s and 50s. Some of my kids have friends with siblings in college. Many have gray hair. This woman was much older. I actually looked at her face after my error. She looks older than any parent I have encountered. I understand that she could have adopted or used doner eggs.[/quote] Yes, this was my mother. Someone even mistook her husband (my father) for her son one day! The woman you describe may have a medical condition, adopted her child, etc. What I'm telling you still applies: please never assume.[/quote] I asked if a woman was pregnant when she wasn’t a decade ago. I never ever assume. I made this mistake today and will never do it again.[/quote]
