A little bit sad at SDs bday party

Background: DH and BM have SD 50/50 everything and I watch SD during the week usually 2-3 days a week. 

Anyway we had a joint birthday party for SD at a skating rink. It actually went really well. SD had a blast and both sides of the family got along great including BM and DH. 

The part that made me sad was when we were getting SD's skates fitted and DS walked up to the worker and SD. After SD was all set with her skates the worker asked BM if DS was going to use baby skates as if she was his mom.

Totally honest mistake and we all just laughed it off and BM directed the worker to me... But kind of made me feel bad...I don't know why.

DS has light hair and so does SD and BM while DH and I have darker hair.

Other than that it was a great day for everyone.

    Honestly, it's NBD. I have nannied for two different families, and the kids looked absolutely NOTHING like me, and people assumed I was their mom. I'm sure it's because of how close they were standing. I wouldn't worry about it.

    I'm glad the party was a success!

    This.

    I have very dark hair and so does DH. Two of my children have blonde hair and light eyes. SK's do too so we all match as a family but only 1 of my children look anything like me. BM actually looks more like my bio kids than I do.

    I wouldn't think much of it. Of course my 3 yr old just called BM "mom" last week because he thought that was her name cause we just call her their mom and he only knows me as mommy. Right now, SD actually looks more like me since I have my hair darker than my DD does even though DD and DS for that matter look like spitting images of me at their ages.

    Secretly this is why I allow my hair to be naturally blonde. Before babies I would dye it black and now I let it stay light because my SS and DS are blondes.

    Growing up everyone told me I was my SM's twin and looked nothing like my mom. It didn't really bother me but I don't want that to happen to me as the mom hah

    On a whole other note, it's fantastic that the joint party went well! That's really awesome!

    I look more like my SD than BM does. We call it blessing. Lol! She REALLY looked like me when my hair was natural color, blonde. But I dye it dark auburn now.
