If you have a mixed child .. don’t be this way. 🫶🏾🥲
I read something from someone that stated how the woman felt uncomfortable trying to dive more into her husband’s culture and what not and her main focus was what her kids look like and the color of their skin / eyes etc etc … like seriously having mixed children can’t just consist of that type of stupidity and ignorance. They aren’t accessories or foreign objects .. and , I’m sorry, but if you’re not introducing both cultural sides to your child then what exactly are you doing ? . . Many parents worry so much about skin tone/ how dark or not dark their child will be, hair, and other things of upkeep but I feel there’s bigger things to cross your mind especially if you have a child of color..
to not want to educate yourself more or fully involve yourself / indulge in the other part of them is very strange to me.. i don’t think it’s okay to stay ignorant about another race just because you aren’t very sure how to approach things..
if you can lay down with a person of a completely different culture / race than you then you damn sure better be ready to enjoy their culture and who they are fully regardless of you being uncomfortable or not sure and you should want your child to know who they are and love every bit and piece of that as well.
Just had to say this as that broke my heart to read but all children are beautiful and beauty runs more than skin / feature deep.
I completely agree with this sentiment. Mixed race children are not an accessory and you shouldn’t be concerned with their skin tone or colour or how their ethnic features will manifest physically. If you are concerned then why delve into other cultures and have inter-race relationships and ultimately Children. I’m sorry, but if you are uncomfortable with the features of minorities, it makes you inherently discriminatory which would no doubt translate into your parenting and how you speak about your child. And if that’s the case I don’t see why you’d have a mixed raced child.
