I'm 40 and my daughter is 19 but people think we're sisters - so, can YOU tell who is younger?
A 40-year-old mother has claimed men mistake her and her teenage daughter as sisters or friends at gigs. Lynsey Schofield, from Blackpool, Lancashire, said people often think she's 20 years younger than she is, with her daughter admitting it's 'annoying' when young lads hit on her mother. Lynsey was just 21 when she had her daughter, Melody Heslop, 19, and the two are now best friends. The lookalike pair go to concerts and festivals together and have seen Liam Gallagher, The Prodigy, Chemical Brothers and most recently Oasis together. The mother-of-two said fellow concert-goers have been shocked to learn she is a mother when they see her in the crowd and doubtful bouncers have even asked her for ID on the door. Meanwhile, daughter Melody admitted it does get 'a bit annoying' when lads her own age want to chat up her mother. Lynsey said: 'We were at The Prodigy concert last year and were just speaking to someone and they thought I was her friend. I was like, "oh no I'm her mum!" 'It's quite flattering, I'm quite happy for people to think I'm younger than I am. None of us want to get any older do we? 'When I went to The Prodigy, it was at Warehouse Project and they asked me for my ID, which I was more than happy to provide. It has given me a bit of an ego-boost.' Youthful Lynsey does not follow an extensive beauty or workout routine but, outside of her job as a support worker, she works as a sound healing practitioner and claimed this helps her stress levels. After they saw Oasis on their reunion tour, Lynsey posted photos of them together at the concert on Facebook. Those in the comments were in disbelief that the duo were mother and daughter, saying the pair looked like sisters and describing Lynsey as 'supersonic'. She mentioned that a few overly eager men have attempted to contact her privately via direct messages on Facebook. Lynsey said: 'The amount of friend requests I've had from random men is unbelievable. '[The Oasis reunion] was a big thing for us because we'd spoken about it since she was little and I promised her when she was 11 if they ever got back together we would go. 'I put it [the picture of us both] up because I was buzzing about being at the concert. 'I wasn't expecting so many comments. I was surprised at how many people made the comparison to be honest. It's nice for people to think I'm younger than I am.' Teenager Melody was not surprised by the comments on the post and said she gets flack about her young mother from lads her age. Melody, who works as a waitress, said: 'We get it a lot so it's something I'm used to. I find it quite funny sometimes. 'We've had it since I was younger anyway. Through all of my teenage years we've been compared as sisters.

Dog Teaches Baby to Play Fetch at an Early Age in Adorable Video
Every kid deserves a furry sibling to grow up with because childhood feels incomplete without a four-legged best friend by your side. On the plus side, they're the ideal babysitters, extremely gentle around children, and just know the right tricks to entertain them. This video showed a German Shepherd dog teaching her owner's newborn baby how to play fetch with her squeaky toy at an early age, and it's so adorable that it will instantly pull an 'aww' out of you. German Shepherd secretly throws a toy while the baby sleeps There's no better upbringing for your child than the one that involves tiny paws, constant tail wags, never-ending giggles, and a furry partner in crime. The funny part about being a parent and a pet owner is that you won't realize when your little one and your pup will become the ultimate mischief duo. But rest assured, the floof will remain a gentle guardian for your kid's wildest adventures. In one such instance, this mom documented the moment her dog decided to teach her baby sister how to play fetch in an adorable video. The subtext first shared the German Shepherd's viewpoint: 'Your parents brought home a new baby, but you still need all the attention.' Meanwhile, the clip showed the canine, named Sage, sneaking into the mother-daughter duo's snuggle time and secretly throwing a toy while the little one slept. The video hilariously captured the dog's not-so-stealthy attempt at giving the baby her squeaky toy. Without showing herself in the shot, Sage dropped the tiny toy for her little sister, but not without making a loud squeak. Commenters further elevated the post's humor with funny remarks. 'She's trying to train the baby to throw early,' wrote one user, while another quoted Sage, 'At your age I was already walking and eating socks, bub.'

Sutton Stracke Reveals Updates on Her Lookalike Daughter, Porter, Amid Her Law School Career
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' Sutton Stracke has proven time and time again that her daughter, Porter Stracke, is a chip off the ol' block. Over the years, the Southern debutante hasn't shied away from posting pics of her oldest child on social media. The resemblance between mother and her only daughter is uncanny, as delightfully seen in the diamond-holder's throwback photos of her younger self from 'back in the day.' In May 2020, Sutton gave 'Sunday Vibes' in a throwback photo from her days in Spartanburg, South Carolina. The Georgia-raised mother of three referenced 'hippie days from long ago' in a snap of a darker-haired version of herself, smiling away from the camera in a white summer dress. Given how much she looks like her brunette daughter, a double-take was unavoidable. Professional side-by-side portraits in black and white to celebrate National Daughter's Day in September 2022 proved Sutton and Porter could be mistaken for sisters, from the parts in their hair to their matching sweetheart necklines. "Like mother, like daughter, only she is more improved!!!" Sutton captioned the post. RELATED: The proud-as-punch Georgian shared a couple more photos of Porter for the occasion. In case we need to name 'em, in one, Porter basked in the sunshine with a cool pair of shades and an oversized hat, and in another, she was all smiles in a colorful cotton dress for what looked like a special occasion. Sutton Stracke shares a birthday tribute for her daughter, Porter More recently, in May 2025, Sutton wished a happy birthday to her 'favorite girl in the whole world' along with a reel of fun family photos, including one with Sutton's own mother, Reba Brown. She shared flashback shots of Porter and her younger brothers, James and Philip Stracke, all of whom Sutton shares with her ex-husband, Christian Stracke. Some snaps featured the blue-eyed Porter as a baby in her mother's arms, or dressed to the nines next to her glammed-up mom. Longtime friend Jennifer Tilly also couldn't contain her excitement when she wished Porter a special day with a teary-eyed emoji. Sutton's birthday gesture even had The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City's Meredith Marks comment with a red heart emoji. RELATED: What is Sutton Stracke's daughter, Porter Stracke, doing today? In May of last year, Sutton proudly announced that Porter graduated from the College of William & Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia where she majored in History and French. 'Final Graduation Day! We love our Porter and so proud of this Cum Laude graduate now Law School bound,' Sutton posted on Instagram. And, upon Porter's college graduation, Kyle commented to Sutton and her daughter, 'You two are twins!' Porter's LinkedIn profile shows she is currently enrolled in Brooklyn Law School in New York City. People reports she's set to graduate in 2027. Porter's accomplishments seem mirrored in Sutton's caption on her recent birthday message, in which she added, "My pride and love abound!"

I always get mistaken for my daughter's sister & people are stunned to hear my age – I get chatted up when out with her
A MUM has revealed blokes constantly mistake her and her teenage daughter for sisters when they're out at gigs, leaving her girl fuming. Lynsey Schofield, 40, says men often think she's 20 years younger than her real age when she's out with 19-year-old daughter Melody Heslop. 7 7 Lynsey was just 21 when she had Melody, and the pair are now inseparable, often hitting concerts and festivals together. The lookalike duo have rocked out to Liam Gallagher, The Prodigy, Chemical Brothers, James and, most recently, Oasis – but Melody admits it's 'annoying' when young lads try to chat up her mum. The mum-of-two said fellow concert-goers have been shocked to learn she is a mum when they see her in the crowd and doubtful bouncers have even asked her for ID on the door. Meanwhile, daughter Melody admits it does get 'a bit annoying' when lads her own age want to chat up her mum.

'Harry's a different person with her' insists Shakira's mum as she breaks silence on Love Island villa visit After they saw Oasis on their reunion tour, Lynsey posted photos of them together at the gig on Facebook. Users were in disbelief that the duo were mother and daughter, saying the pair looked like sisters and describing Lynsey as 'supersonic'. She said a few of the thirsty blokes have even tried to slide into her DMs. Lynsey said: "The amount of friend requests I've had from random men is unbelievable. "The Oasis reunion was a big thing for us because we'd spoken about it since she was little and I promised her when she was 11 if they ever got back together we would go.

Through all of my teenage years we've been compared as sisters. "I'm used to it at this point. It's quite cool up until lads start saying how attractive she is. "It's a bit annoying to have lads my age talking about my mum." Pros of being a young mum Tracy Kiss, who fell pregnant at 19, has revealed what she beleives are the pros of being a young mother. The personal trainer and blogger, from Buckinghamshire, believes women who give birth in their teens make BETTER mothers than those in their 30s. She claims young mums snap back into shape quicker, have more energy and relate more easily to their children, meaning they're better behaved and happier. Tracy told Fabulous: "Women who become first-time mums in their teens make better parents than those in their 30s or 40s. "I believe if I'd been 10 or so years older before becoming a mother then I wouldn't have the relationship I have with my children now. "For a start, being older I would have had less energy and therefore less patience. "I wouldn't be as enthusiastic to speak to people after months of sleepless nights as I was in my teens. "My body snapped back to its pre-pregnancy size through fitness post-birth, which in turn gave me the confidence to date and find love again. I've never been happier than I am now at the age of 30 with two children. "If I'd have been alone at 40 with a newborn baby I'd be more tired, less happy with my body, less energetic and far more stressed from the shock of living my life for myself instead of putting others first. Sometimes age and the innocence of ignorance is a good thing. "As a teen mum I just got on with it, found my feet and became responsible and capable because at the time I didn't know any different." 7 7 7 7

Heidi Klum hits back at backlash over risqué lingerie campaign with daughter
Heidi Klum is shrugging off the criticism she's received for posing in lingerie with her daughter Leni. "A lot of people are like, 'Oh, I don't know about mom and daughter doing this together,'" Klum told People magazine. "But for us? I'm proud of my daughter. She's fine with me like that." Klum, 52, and her daughter Leni, 21, have posed together in multiple ads for the Italian brand, Intimissimi. "I've always been very open with my body," she continued. "When I'm suntanning in the backyard, I might not have a top on. I'm European … My kids don't know me any other way and are probably more easygoing with their bodies because of it." Leni launched her modeling career at the age of 16. Klum and her daughter appeared together on the cover of Vogue Germany for the January/February issue in 2021. "So excited for my first cover!! I had so much fun on set with @voguegermany couldn't dream of a better start!! Thank you for being by my side @heidiklum," Leni wrote on Instagram at the time. The young model previously hit back at criticism over her choice to pose for lingerie ads with Klum. "I always try to remember that no matter what you do, there will always be someone who doesn't like it," Leni told Glamour Germany. "You simply have no influence on it and shouldn't concentrate too much on the negative." She added: "But there are so many more positive reactions. Oh, and: Most of the comments are in German, and I don't really understand many of them. Of course that helps too." Leni and Klum have faced criticism every time they've posed for Intimissimi. After sharing a new ad in October 2024, the mother-daughter duo received mixed comments. "This makes me feel uncomfortable," one user wrote. "Heidi looks amazing. But why would you pose in lace revealing lingerie with your mother?" another added. "Gives me a yucky feeling. And before someone tells me to unfollow Don't! I didn't follow it in the first place. It showed up on my feed. There is no place on this ad where I can block it anyway so I am commenting." However, not everyone had a problem with the photos. "Two beautiful ladies! I can't imagine why anyone would be critical of this. People have been modeling underwear forever," a user wrote.
