[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am olive skinned, short, fat, frumpy. One of my sons is a teenager and has movie star looks. The other one is angelic looking blond and green eyed devil. I am constantly being asked if I am the nanny.  [/quote]

Same PP. I have been asked why my kid is so fair and if my kids have different fathers. People are clueless. [/quote]

My best friend's SIL is from Ecuador. Her first child is blonde haired and blue eyed like his dad. Her second child is dark haired and brown eyed like his mom. She also has an accent, so she constantly gets asked if she's the nanny/au pair, if one is adopted, if they have different fathers, etc. She just shrugs it off. It doesn't mean she loves her kids any less or her marriage isn't good or she doesn't have a happy life. When I was younger (like in high school) people assumed I was older than I was. Now that I'm 43 they assume I'm younger than I am. Who cares? My age doesn't fluctuate based on what people think of me. Now, if people thought I was mean, or stupid, or unkind, or rude - that would bother me. But whether they think I'm 25 at 17 or 30 at 43 makes no difference. [/quote]
