And if your in Alabama it could be both! If your in Appalachia it's always both!

You mean "Dad or Daddy?"

Please don't tell me this. I already worry when I am out at places with my daughter without my wife.

At dinner my husband and i often sit silently on our phones texting each other to play 'What's that relationship?'

Ask robotically and pretend to make a check mark on your clipboard, tada awkwardness averted

My go-to is to just forest introduce myself to the actual client, and then if they have anyone that I don’t already know, just ask something like “And who did you bring with you today?” So far no problems with that method.

I'm sure it gets tiring pretty quickly if the age gap is 15+ years.

Or look older than their actual age.

My ex wife is six months older than me but apparently looked much younger than me. When we were in our mid twenties we would regularly get odd looks, she’d get carded and I wouldn’t, etc.

The funniest time though was when we were at an “adult event”. A friend of mine who hadn’t met her yet saw us together, pulled me aside, and said, “Dude, she’s way too young for you and teenagers aren’t allowed here. Get her out of here before we have to kick you out for good.” We were both 28. 🤣🤣🤣

My partner and I are pretty regularly confused for mother and daughter, which is super weird because we're only 7 years apart. We're in similar life stages so we never thought about the age difference at all until someone mistook us in public. It was super awkward all around. Is 36 really that much more than 29?

Respect for saying this out loud.

But also just a bit yikes, but credit for not going younger than 30s

Props for the honesty

Wanting children in your 60s is selfish. Not only do you put them at much higher risk for birth defects, but you likely won't be around for most of their life

To be fair to DVD, that's most other people he meets.

He gets a pass because everyone is a lot younger than him lol
