![]() My husbands ultra country conservative family didn't say much about our union which I was surprised. My children are gorgeous and I love them but I think any mom would say that. At one point I remember hoping "Maybe this baby will look like me" with my second and then without missing a beat my OBGYN saidĪnd that was that lol. People obsessed with how our babies would look. Married a white man and babies look like him, my youngest has blue eyes! I've had the nanny/ babysitter comment and it is not fun. I’m scared my kids will internalize it and make my son feel inferior. It’s something that would not have bothered me at all, if not for our family’s clear preference for white features. From looking at her facial structure in ultrasounds, I have to admit I’m a little worried that my baby girl is going to come out looking a lot whiter than her brother. Last time we only waited a week and I was in no state of mind to deal with the full-body racial analysis of my baby’s features coming from every fucking member of our extended family. It’s a big part of the reason I’m waiting longer to introduce this next baby to family. They try to pretend that their observations and comments about my kid’s looks are neutral, but it’s pretty clear that both sides are more excited about his “whiter” features than his Asian features. ![]() ![]() I’m East Asian, hubby is white, and both sides absolutely suck when it comes to this. Mixed kids of all kinds are common af where I live.
