when did that happen?

[Memina]

Just had a sudden but sad realisation! When I started minding I was 23 and was much younger than most of the parents I minded for. However recently I've noticed that they are coming through younger than me and even one telling their child to call me Auntie!!!!!

I was 30 this year in August but I feel so old! Lol

If you think 30 is so old then I must have risen from the dead!!!......xx

My own children are the same ages as the parents I mind for now - the children can call me granny!

Tell me about it I've just turned 31 and one of the minders said hope I don't get a jelly belly when I get to be an old lady like you! Yeah kid that helped lol

One of my mums is the same age as my eldest son. It's frightening to think I am old enough to be mindee's granny

I'm closer to fifty years than twenty now and I'm in total denial

I went to a new toddler group the other week and got chatting about having 3 kids all at school to which this mum replied are they all at secondary school umm no my eldest is and I was young when I had him not sure how old she thought I was! Up until then I'd always had comments oh you don't look old enough to have a child at secondary school - did I suddenly age over night!!!!!

I'm now a minder granny by three previous minded children, been minding for 23 years, but this week started with a 12 wk old new be. On arrival at nursery to drop off older child the staff congratulated me on MY newborn!! Not sure if this meant I looked young or just extremely fat 12 weeks ago!! X
