Weird comments about my baby RANT!
So I am a ftm and a black woman. Ever since I’ve been pregnant people who haven’t met my partner in person will ask me about my him and what he looks like, specifically his race. I hate this question because I get the same reaction everytime. Once I tell people my partner is mixed with black and white is when I get the “OHHH Wowwwww you are gonna have such a pretty baby!” “Mixed babies are so pretty” “ohhhh I bet they are gonna have colored eyes” the comments are even more exaggerated when people find out she’s a girl. “Oh she’s gonna have good hair”. Idk but I find these weird colorist remarks to be very offensive. My baby will be beautiful no matter if she is mixed, or fully black, or if she was yellow or purple. Telling someone that their baby will be pretty specifically because they will have white in them (especially when the mother does not) is not a compliment and it’s weird. I don’t want to be rude bc I know people aren’t saying it to be disrespectful and it’s stemming from ignorance. But im going to start calling people out. Has anyone else dealt with something like this?
