Yeah I love it too, I always get asked and I am 33. I think it has a lot to do with being fairly short but also I don't really have any lines around my eyes. I think once you start getting the eye wrinkles that's when you look older. I reckon I am going to wake up one morning and have wrinkles for africa!]]> Tue, 29 Dec 2009 11:25:44 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30659&PID=880108&title=feeling-old-looking-young#880108 <![CDATA[Feeling old, looking young?? : I got asked once when with my...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30659&PID=879923&title=feeling-old-looking-young#879923 Author: freckle

I got asked once when with my 12 year old and one year old... and my 12 year old had called me mum several times while we were standing there!
At 34 I LOVE it that I still get asked for id

I am 28 and still get asked for ID and it totally annoys the hell out of me. Coming over the Oz at the duty free shop the woman looked at me and I think was going to ask for ID till I produced my military ID to get the discount she looked at it and went on her way.

When I started work in Waiouru the guys asked how old I was, I asked the to guess and they all thought I was around 22 - shocked them a bit I think.

I always get asked, even when buying Instant Kiwis...it's annoying!! All the girls at work couldn't believe I was 26, married and had children...apparently I don't look old enough ?!?!?!?! Kind of scary when I work with mainly 16/17 year olds!!!

Kali - I got asked for ID when I was about 25 weeks pregnant with the girls. I was in Woolworths in town with my MIL and bought a scratchie...she wouldn't sell it to me without showing her my ID. I was gobsmacked LOL]]> Mon, 28 Dec 2009 13:18:32 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30659&PID=879475&title=feeling-old-looking-young#879475 <![CDATA[Feeling old, looking young?? : Yeah young and hot thats right...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30659&PID=879467&title=feeling-old-looking-young#879467 Author: Rachael21

I've found I've been getting asked more recently too Ella I think they are having a bit of a crack down (or maybe I'm just looking really youthfull lol).]]> Mon, 28 Dec 2009 13:09:31 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30659&PID=879464&title=feeling-old-looking-young#879464 <![CDATA[Feeling old, looking young?? : The law for retailers is that...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30659&PID=879331&title=feeling-old-looking-young#879331 Author: FreeSpirit

The law for retailers is that if somebody looks younger then 25, they must ask for ID.

I wish somebody would ID me... ]]> Mon, 28 Dec 2009 09:39:45 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30659&PID=879331&title=feeling-old-looking-young#879331 <![CDATA[Feeling old, looking young?? : lol kali1, that&#039;s so funny!...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30659&PID=879288&title=feeling-old-looking-young#879288 Author: ellabellame

lol kali1, that's so funny! i wouldn't know whether to laugh or be offended.
i know what it's like for them though, i used to work as a checkout chick when i was younger and i used to get some people who got really quite aggro when i asked them for ID. sometimes if the person looked really scary i just wouldn't bother lol.]]> Mon, 28 Dec 2009 08:16:57 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30659&PID=879288&title=feeling-old-looking-young#879288 <![CDATA[Feeling old, looking young?? : I got asked once when I had my...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30659&PID=879275&title=feeling-old-looking-young#879275 Author: Cassie

I got asked once when I had my four year old and my 6 month old with me! The girl had to call the supervisor cause she was too young to put it through and the supervisor said to her 'did you check her ID?' and she said no, the supervisor said quietly 'she could easily have had her first child when she was 14' I was gobsmacked! Not only did I look like I was only 18, but I looked like the kind of person who started having babies at a very young age?? lol ]]> Mon, 28 Dec 2009 07:56:58 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30659&PID=879275&title=feeling-old-looking-young#879275 <![CDATA[Feeling old, looking young?? : Yeah will be interesting to see...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30659&PID=879149&title=feeling-old-looking-young#879149 Author: Kellz

lol i think the last 2 times have probably been because you're so pregnant. people just sort of assume that if you're pregnant then you are over 18 (no idea why), when i was hugely pregnant, i never got asked either.]]> Sun, 27 Dec 2009 20:30:27 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30659&PID=879142&title=feeling-old-looking-young#879142 <![CDATA[Feeling old, looking young?? : I never take it as a compliment,...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30659&PID=879131&title=feeling-old-looking-young#879131 Author: Kellz

I think Im finally looking old, lol! The 2 times Ive bought beer at the supermarket for DH in recent weeks I havent been asked for ID, when I normally am always asked, and have often been asked for ID buying instant kiwis too! Have noticed when Im with Isla I dont get asked as much, and both those recent times at the supermarket Ive had Isla with me, plus Im very very preg!
