I’m a mom but everyone thinks I’m my son’s sister – some ask if we’re dating or say I’ve ‘aged backwards’
A MOTHER who looks very young for her age has revealed that she is often mistaken for her son’s older sister.
People even assume the mother and son are in a romantic relationship.
Zashia Santiago (@zashiasantiago) is a digital content creator and mom.
The 33-year-old took to TikTok to share her pride in being a mother.
“They think I’m his older sister,” she wrote over a video of herself leaning in to embrace her son.
The video then transitioned to a throwback photo of Santiago holding her toddler son.
“Love you,” she wrote in the caption, tagging her son’s TikTok account.
The video came as part of a trend where mothers who have aged gracefully share their youthful looks.
Many say that strangers don’t believe them when they reveal their true age.
Others say they’re proud of staying in shape and continue to wear revealing styles such as bikinis and crop tops.
Viewers, stunned by Santiago’s TikTok, shared their thoughts in the comment section.
“HOW DID SHE AGE BACKWARDS???” one wrote.
“It took me so long to realize she was his mom I was like so ya you’re his older sister?” another added.
“I’m crying,” Santiago replied.
“Was NOT expecting that,” a third commented. “Thought y’all were a couple.”
“Ma’am you haven’t aged a bit,” another commenter wrote.
