> You can definitely pickup on whether another male is a father or not.

Fathers constantly think I also am a father when in shared spaces with them.

“So how old is your daughter?”

> niece

“Oh I’m sorry”

They always apologise, like I’d be offended.

I think they confuse me for the dad because we look so alike, but it’s because me and my sister are almost clones, and my niece is just a clone of my sister :)

I can’t have kids of my own, so I put a lot of time in with my niece.
