My baby is biracial, but my bf family is low-key racist. I’m due in a couple of weeks, and I do not want them to see my daughter when she is born, but my bf is saying that I’m overreacting over this comment his mother made about being afraid the baby’s skin tone gonna be “too dark” but like I said she’s not even born yet, besides being “too dark” is highly offensive and racist.

You are not obligated to let ANYONE see your child. If they’re toxic, they’re toxic. People who make “jokes” like that always have some sort of truth in how they feel coming out in it. No fucking thanks
That is a tough one. But you have a chance to show her that a person’s worth is not within their skin color. Maybe you can change her views and break her ignorance about it.

Wow. I’m sorry you have to go through this. I’m with you, I wouldn’t let them around my baby. When your child gets older and hears those comments she may look at herself as those toxic evil people do

I think racism is disgusting on all levels.
But it absolutely was the norm back in the day.
This baby could be the key to opening their hearts and eyes to more than skin color.
Honestly, it would depend on the future relationship you plan to have with your man.
Coming from experience it’s hard to be in a relationship with someone- wanna marry them and have their kids but expect them to keep their parents separate.
I’m all for cutting off contact.
But I’m all for giving a chance first too.

Two thoughts: I’ve seen racists fall in love with their bi racial grandchildren and it completely opens their eyes to how ignorant they’ve been. But children internalize that racism and it can be really damaging if she ever ever ever says anything like that again in front of her.

Brown is beautiful , people who are racist it’s like stuck in their genes, they think so wrong …it’s not right. I would be so pissed off. You’re the mother you make the rules. That’s what I do. People hate on me but I could care less, like for example I took my kids out of school because the kids were to mean and racist. So I moved. My children have friends of all different races and colours they’re happy, you gotta do what have too. I’m so happy I moved them
Personally, I’m too nice of a person to not at least give them a chance. I’d give them a chance but as soon as they say or do the smallest shit like that again it’s over, bye.
I think you two should let no one see the baby the first couple of days and just have that time between your little family. I think that you should set ground rules on what guests can say around your baby, who take and post pics, etc… if they do come.That’s just my thoughts I’m not a therapist.

That sucks but at the end of the day you didnt make this baby alone. Once bub is born, your partner has just as much rights and just as much say as you do and if he wants family to meet baby, then you should allow them. Be there and any snarky comments, ask them to leave but imagine the divide it will cause between you and your partner if you dont allow them

My sister has biracial children. Both of my parents were “low-key racist” before she had their first grandchild 5 years ago. The birth of my niece completely changed them both.
It’s obviously your choice…but they might surprise you 
Now, if they are making racist remarks and such after meeting your baby, then definitely stay away from them.

If they are toxic, they are toxic. Skin colour, sexuality, etc don’t even factor in.
I would also sit down with your bf’s mom and explain that her comments were racist and way off base and as such, in keeping with the best interests of your child, that you are choosing not to have your baby around such negativity. This is a new life, with new beginnings in a blended family, and should be regarded as a miracle.

I would totally understand if you didn’t let them see your baby I wouldn’t blame you at all. However from an outsiders perspective I also see a great learning opportunity for them. Let them know your baby and get attached and prove them wrong. Teach them race means nothing. Worst case if they are that arragent you’ll catch on in the first year and your baby won’t ever remember meeting them🤷

I wouldn’t prevent her from seeing the baby but not until after the birth. If she does say something I’d address it at that moment. I wouldn’t let it go.
Personally I would let them know the comment bothered you. I would also give them the chance to have that eye opening moment when they hold their grandbaby for the first time. If they want to continue the nonsense then throw the ban hammer. Even old dogs learn new tricks.

Yes it’s racist. Yes it’s hurtful. Here’s the thing, your beautiful child could quite literally change their hearts.
Many people that are racists are coming from a place of fear or poor experience. It’s not your job to educate them, but it’s possible their point of view may be significantly altered when they experience the love of your child. Give them the opportunity to learn and grow, and in turn give your child the opportunity to maybe know it’s grandparents.
If they prove later that they are still racist and still say hurtful things, you have every right to distance yourself. It’s their loss. You gave them the opportunity and they failed…that’s on the them.

Educate with love instead of Punishing.
I have seen many
bi ricial children change the beliefs of a lot of grandparents, inlaws and others.
Give them a chance in the beginning when the child is too young to understand and if they do not change then that’s when you make the decision. But make your beliefs and expectations clear to everyone. Especially your partner so he can back you up. Become a United front against racism and make sure they understand to never say anything inappropriate around your children, regardless of their beliefs.
They step up And be better people or they will not be involved in the children’s lives.

So for everyone saying she could unlock some secret moment making her mother in law not racist with her child… THAT IS NOT HER RESPONSIBILITY OR HER JOB! I’m speaking from experience. As a mother her job is to protect her children from that type of negativity. There is a small window where you can limit what your children are exposed to and create a healthy, safe, foundation for them to thrive. That’s where her energy should be focused on. Me personally, if my in laws want a more active role in my children’s life, great, but you gotta square some issues with me first. Regardless of a child being half white, they’re still a person of color and its important that they don’t attach any negative connotation to that. So comments about skin color, stereotypes, anything that is disrespectful to the parent of color will not be tolerated PERIOD. That is a non negotiable.

My son’s father’s mother and some family were racist. My son has like 12 cousins that are mixed with either black or Hispanic. His mom changed and loved them just the same. And she’s crazy af and wasn’t shy about voicing her opinion, no matter how wrong or insane.

I believe you are the only one that can decide that. I would see how they react to their grandchild first. This child may turn their views on the color of someone’s skin. All of us are GOD’S CHILDREN!! This world needs to stop hating on ppl for color. We are all equal!!!
My daughter is biracial and I also worried a lot about how others would react. She is 5 now and both sides have changed perspectives dramatically. Children have a way of bringing families together. I no longer am concerned about it, and have learned that typically those who have issues have never really known anyone of another skin color. Their ignorance is disgusting but if no consequence to me or my family.

If his mother is afraid of her grandchild’s skin being “too dark” that already tells you how she feels about you. Either he puts his mother in her place and be on you and his child’s side, or you do it for him.

I’m a mixed baby. My father is Mexican and my mother is white. With age I’ve come to see that a good chunk of my mom’s side is racist. No one has said anything hurtful about me. They all love me. My problem is that they say hurtful things about other Hispanic people. It’s a struggle to want to be around them knowing they’d feel the same way about me if I wasn’t their family member. It’s like they choose to forget my father is Mexican. I’m also married to a Latino and we have beautiful Latino babies. I refuse to let my children ever feel discriminated against by family. I have distanced myself from them as an adult. We see each other for major holidays and that’s about it. It’s hard because I love my family very much.

Talk to the in-laws and tell them how that’s not okay EVER. If they don’t agree with you then I wouldn’t allow them around.
When my oldest was born we sat there and went well ok genetic throwback, he came out nugget brown, well hell ok cool he’s here he’s alive all is ok , within days his skin was like that of porcelain to this day he still can’t get a tan, my middle son he was orange he cleared stayed olive tone put him in the sun he will go brown , my youngest born ice white you could see the veins through his skin within days he had his tone change it became a honey tone , back to white this went on for a very long time , his time now well let’s just say he wouldn’t need makeup to play the vampire in anything- just don’t let him in the sun he will tan and go extremely brown very quick so much so the palms of his hand look pink , they are all different skin tone should never be a problem, the bf needs to know how it makes you feel how worried you are together you are having this child so together you should be voicing
The thing is this- This baby could be light skin then the next baby could have darker skin(same daddy) then what? Are they going to love one more than the other? I have 4 biracial grandchildren and love each of them some darker some lighter. Yep I would feel some kinda way. And she would have to prove that she was sorry and wanted to be a part of my child’s life. NOT JUST TO SEE WHAT COLOR THEY ARE🤦♀️

I would suggest you open a line of communication with her. Tell her that her comment offended you a ton. Tell her honestly that her comment and attitude has had you on the fence about how much you want them involved. Be forward and open. Those things can’t be made to be ok. And if she knew that you were feeling that way and STILL willing to be open with her and give her opportunity to grow and change, then hopefully she will use it as a learning experience. I also agree that your little one cam change hearts. Not that it makes it ok or should be baby’s responsibility. But such is our world…

Give them a chance! My grandmother was very racist. When my cousin got pregnant with a mixed baby, our grandmother wouldn’t even look at her. Said she wasn’t going to the baby shower and she wasn’t going to tell her friends either. When she had the baby, Memaw was the first one in that hospital to see him and they were absolutely best friends. She loved him like all of us and she said she couldn’t imagine not having him in her life.

While her statement is absolutely ignorant, the statement alone isn’t enough - in my opinion - to completely keep baby away from the family. Have them come around her on your terms, where you’re comfortable. My son’s dad FIRST remark when he was born was “why is he so white?”(His dad is darkskinned, and baby boy has pale skin, red hair, and blue eyes. lol) That struck my nerve, because my son literally looks JUST like his dad, but it seemed as if he was hesitant to be around him BECAUSE of his skintone…I understand, but remember, you try to keep your child away, you could potentially be keeping your baby away from wonderfully loving it grandparents who just haven’t had a chance to redeem themselves.

It is sad she feels this way but babies have a way of mending fences some grandmothers who never expected find so much love for that child and it would be a shame that she missed out on this keep your eyes open if you see that there is a problem where the baby is being put down for skin color or who she is then yes pull back but if there are kind and loving to that child the child’s going to need all the support they can get in this days and time
Hooooolllly! Girl!! I would establish right away that kind of talk is unacceptable. You can do so respectfully while still being a lady and good gf. Your bf should have stepped in right away and nipped that shit too! Absolutely not acceptable!
That being said I would NOT keep the baby away. That is their family also and would only wind up hurting your daughter in the long run. They’re gonna adore her no matter what color she turns out to be. (Personally I hope she reflects her mommas outter beauty just so his mom can shove it) Good luck momma
I’m not saying it’s your responsibility to change them or their minds. But meeting their granddaughter may stop them from being so ignorant. My husband and I own a bar. A customer of ours, Angie was about to have a granddaughter that is also 1/2 white 1/2 black and she said racist crap like that the whole time. She was ignorant and insensitive. She stoped saying all of it. She shows pics of her granddaughter to everyone and babysits her all the time. Give them ONE chance. If you want.
