I have a teenage son despite looking like a kid myself – people are always baffled when I say I’m his mum
A MUM has explained how she has a teenager, despite people thinking she looks far too young.
Sage is constantly getting asked how old she is thanks to her youthful appearance.
And the fact that she often shares videos of herself and her “teenager” on social media has led to even more confusion.
So she decided to set the record straight and revealed just how her unique family situation came to be.
“Since no-one thinks I look old enough to have a teenager, here’s the highly requested story time,”Sage said in a video on her TikTok page.
“The reason I never reply to any of my comments asking how I’m old enough to have a teenager is because I want to be really respectful of my teenager when telling this story.
“So really unexpectedly and sadly, my fiance’s parents both passed away.
“When this happened me and my fiance decided that we were going to adopt his little brother, so we did, and that’s how I have a teenager.”
Sage added: “I also want to say, I don’t really feel like the details of this story are mine to tell so that’s all I’m going to say about it.”
“I am sorry for your loss and I’m glad that you guys are happy family,” one person commented on the video.
As another added: “My parents gave me up when I was 15 so my older sister took me in she’s now 25 and I’m 17.”
“Thank you for standing by him and taking care of him! You’re an angel!” a third praised.
While someone else wrote: “You both are wonderful. Such a good family.”
“Girl my son is 10 years younger than me and I hate when people say I don’t look old enough. It’s like they haven’t heard of adoption,” another commented.
In another video, she and her teenager Nick answered some of their most-asked questions.
Nick insisted that he “doesn’t care” when she refers to him as “her teenager”, and refers to Sage as “mum”.
Sage also has another son, now a toddler, with her fiance.
