I am 27 yrs old and I don't have any child. The man I am dating is 46 yrs old and has 2 child. The daughter is my age and the son is alittle younger. The daughter is having her second baby and I haven't even had my first. I feel when I have children there going to be confused that my boyfriends grand child is going to be older then them. I am having a really hard time with this.

All I can say is that you are not alone.


In my family, I am 20 and 22 years older than two of my siblings and when we go places, everyone always thinks I'm their mom.


Also in my family, my cousins have aunts and uncles younger than they are on their dad's side.


I honestly believe that if you don't make a big deal out of it, no one else will think it's a big deal. To your family, it's normal and it's OK! No confusion necessary!
