young mothers with banded babies

Hi everyone! I wanted to hear from any young mother who has a child that has a helmet and how people reacted and treated you. I'm 25 and my son get's his DOC Band Wednesday and i'm curious as to how everyone will treat us since I still look as if i'm in high school! (In fact I still get asked, with two children in tow and wedding band on, where i go to HS)... Any input would be helpful!Thanks,Mommy to 8 month old (brachy/tort)For more plagio info

Hi ,

Sorry can't help. I was 32 when na was banded looked at least 25 so no young mom looks. You will most likely still get looks for the band and because you look so young (what a great problem to have - you'll love it in 10 years). I would just go about your business as usual. Give the same loving attention and smiles. I would also decorate his band. It really seems to make it less medicinal and it's a conversation starter. "Oh, hi , the trucks on your hat are very cute. BTW what's it for?". Most people react to how you are reacting. If you're smiling a lot then they take cues from you. Some are just morons so ignore them.

Is adjusting well? Which CT clinic do you go to?

Good luck

Hello ,

I also believe that informing people is the best weapon you have.

Some people are ignorant to the point of ..., but hang in there.

Also decorating the band is really an ice breaker, and makes folks

smile.

Good luck

goes to the ndale CT, and we get fitted on Wednesday. His

casting was Nov. 3rd.

We live in Northern VA and though there are a lot of wonderful people here,

there are also very rude people who stare and make comments about anything

not to your face but right around the corner knowing they are being rude and

knowing you hear them.

I look even younger right now because i'm growing my hair long to donate it

for a second time to locks of love. I'm not much of a makeup person either.

When i was prego with my son around the holidays last year I'd gone to the

grocery store with my mother and daughter, who was 3 at the time, and the

cashier asked if i was enjoying my break from school. We got a good laugh

out of it.

I know in the future i'll enjoy looking young, my mom is 54 and looks as if

she's in her late 40's and she loves it! I just hate knowing the people

pass judgement on how you look, that's why i was worried. Thankfully my

friends hubby is an artist and he's going to pain 's helmet like the

patriots, my husbands favorite team.

Thanks to all who replied!

Hi ,

On school break, huh? LOL! When I was a senior in college I got a

kids menu at a resturaunt and my 16 year old sister (who looks much

older than me!) did not! My mom thought it was a riot! My mom is

only 44 and also looks young, so when we're out with her everyone

thinks she's the mom and I'm the big sister. Oh well! We'll love

it someday, right?
