Wow! That's some family. I'm 58, 4 kids and fortunate to have a 2 year old grandson. I always say my kids aren't with the program. The 3 girls all got married in their 30's (careers) and I hope now I'll have more grandbabies. One is just not enough.

What's wrong with that you might ask?

I'M 49!!

I'm now saving up for a facelift! STAT!

Of course you are going tell them they made a mistake and pay them the difference.

Oh I can appreciate that. I am 61 with 6 kids and 18 grandkids. The oldest one is 10. All of my friends have 3, 4, 5, grandkids. I offer to let them borrow a few at Christmas time. Cause this poor grandma is going broke.

megooego · 12-08-2009, 07:55 AM

Aww. I don't know what is worse, people thinking you are older or way younger. I am 18 but everyone thinks I look like I am 12. I even had a customer come in at my work and ask me, "Who is your mother or father? I didn't know it was take your daugther to work day!"

...

I will greet people coming in to the store and I will hear people whisper among themselves: "Why is that little girl talking to us?"

This is a daily occurence!
"Wow, how old are you?"
"Umm.. I'm 18."
"You don't look a day over 12."

People keep telling me that one day I will appreciate it..
I am still waiting for that day!

But just like your senior discount..
I could probably sneak in the movies and get the child price.

I know you've heard it before, BUT ONE DAY YOU'LL APPRECIATE IT!

miabellaamoure · 12-08-2009, 10:12 AM

Hmmm...I think I need to check to see what my Vet considers a Senior...I may qualify...heeheehee!

Thanks for the idea

I used to have the same problem, I had to go to the doctors at 21 due to stiff swollen fingers, he thought I was developing juvanile arthritus, he thought I was 12. At 19 we went on holiday and I went with my sister to the bar to help carry drinks and nearly got thrown out. It was annoying because I always found even those who knew me and my correct age still treated me like a kid when around others when they assumed I was younger. Didn't mind getting the half price child fare on public transport. I'm 42 now so fortunately look old enough to be taken seriously.

That's nice your vet gives senior's discounts. Take it and run!

Don't be insulted enjoy it instead. Every little bit helps.
I wish my vet did that.
I recently got my senior card for county parks and recreation
in my area.
Along with this card came a book showing all the discounts
being offered from various local stores to seniors who show their cards
at time of purchase.
I was so excited to see our pet store listed and it showed a 10% discount.
Wow, I thought, I'm in there every week and spend lot's of $.
Well, I went in soon after needing treats and food and got the nerve
to show the card at the check out counter. Leave it to me to get
a reduced discount from 10% to only 5 % instead. They stated they
have lowed it since the book came out

I don't know if the darn $2.50 was worth the embarassment of showing
the card and getting told the discount had been lowered!
I haven't used it since. It's probably worth nothing now, that was 4mos
ago

I never heard of a re-duced discount

Yorkiekids · 12-09-2009, 12:30 PM

Hey I get a senior discount at Dunkin Donuts and McDonalds. I really don't care what they think about me. I'm just glad to get the discount.
