[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am the pp with a 6 year old. As long as you don’t get weird and defensive about your age, I think you are fine.

I once met a mom who was 45 with a preschool child. I was 43 so only two years younger. I thought she was younger than me and I guess I made the mistake of asking her age. When she told me, I was surprised because I thought she would be in her thirties, like 35. She snapped at me and implied that I was rude for asking her age. I was giving her a compliment that she looked young. I mean this woman was basically my same age. I don’t know why she was so offended.

Anyways, I never tried to do anything with her again.

I have friends who have a similar reaction to me. Recently I told someone how old I was and she was shocked and said she assumed we were similar in age. She is 34. I took it as a compliment and moved on. We hang out often, went trick or treating together, etc.[/quote]

That's a strange reaction.  I'm happy with my 45 years, mainly because everyone thinks I'm late 30s.  I happily offer my age to conversations.  Kids are 15 and 7[/quote]
