[quote=Anonymous]I am also a 42 yo woman and I get this a lot. I teach adults so it's pretty common because they are curious. I had my kids younger for this area (mid 20s) so when I mention kids people assume I became a mom in my mid 30s or later like most professional DC women. When they hear me talk about high school or looking at colleges it's often unexpected which prompts a lot of people to ask me my age. Some are cool about it and poke around and others say "I thought you were X" or "how old are you?" It's flattering sort of but since there's also a hierarchy to my role I assume some are just trying to be flattering to me. I just say "I'm 42" and keep it moving. Sometimes they say "but you are so young to have a 16 year old!" and I say "I was 26 with a masters degree when I had my first kid, not really." I am not embarrassed about age at all. [/quote]
