that's the reality of choosing to look different than what people consider "normal" One shouldn't have to conform...but the truth is people are far more judgmental and prejudiced than they realize. It may also be true...that you're kids look like her ....considering they are related and you may less so..if you have altered your appearance to conform with goth/punk norms

A lot of people just assume that punk/emo people will instantly become conservative when they have children. Incorrect, but many people assume it nonetheless. Or people have a lot of stereotypical notions like that a punk/emo mother would not have well behaved, clean children. In a way, even though these people are total jerks you could perceive it as complimentary.
I've had a lot of people think I was the mother of my friend's little boy because he looks like me...pale with straight dark hair and brown eyes. She and her daughter are darker complexioned with curly hair and lighter eyes. I am not offended by this although I never ever want kids.
