other pregnant moms are way older than me

Where I live in colorado people look at me like im 16 & pregnant lol. The moms around here are all in their late 30s and early 40s. My husband and I are both 24 but we do look really young. We both already graduated college and he works. The other moms I try to talk with don't really talk to me and we just can't relate because of the generation gap. One lady even asked me if i planned on going to school to get an education bc there are plenty of scholarships for high school moms! Does anyone else have this problem?

Im 24 and this will be my second baby, i really don't care how people feel or what their point of view about me cause at the end its my life i do whatever i want with it and its not like im going to beg them for help. I pay my own bills and i live under my own roof. So whoever got something to say they can just shove it up their *****. Lolll dont pay them no mind ladies!!!

I'm 22 and I get weird looks from people... I also look quite young. People probably think I'm in high school too. Its so annoying. Even if I was in high school and I was a teenager, it really isn't anyone's business! People are annoying! Good luck!

I live in colorado too. Haha I agree most people look at me like im 16 but im 21. It's kinda hard for people not to judge. ZI've only told the people im close too since i'm not really showing yet. I had one person say "your too young" and I asked him who says and he kinda backed down after that.
