mother's with mixed children

[jenniferbradford2015]

Do your children get treated different by your family or other people? My youngest son is mixed (black and white) and my family treats him so horrible!!!! I have caught them multiple times yelling at him and spanking  him for no reason and when I catch them doing it they quickly make up a reason. And my grandparents (whom we live with) are constantly saying the "N" word around him and when me or my husband say something about it they say "they say it without thinking".I have fought with them about all of this so many times and all they ever say is "we treat all if the children equally". Me and my husband and our two boys are unfortunately stuck living here and dealing with this everyday. We will be having our daughter in 20 days she is also mixed so I'm extremely stressed about her having to go through the same thing. Any one else go through this? Any ideas of how to deal with this?

That's exactly what my family said when they found out about my youngest son and now my daughter

I hate people like that... my fiance's mom said, "omg you're going to have a black baby?

[jenniferbradford2015]

We would live with his family but they live in a different state and like I said we are having financial issues right now. And I don't have any friends and his friends are very big partiers so that wouldn't work either.

Oh I just saw that you said your family treats him horrible as well maybe a friends house until you guys get back on your feet

[Ashley199322]

There is just no way I would tolerate this at all and live with his parents I would find any other living situation before letting my son ever be treated like that why can't you live with your family

That's the things they say to me. "Dont do this or he will act black" don't dress him like that he will want to be a thug when he grows up" etc etc.

My daughter will be here anytime now. I have fought my bfs family about our daughter because they see her *** an science experiment. And it pisses me off. My black and my f is white. So there is always question(which i dont mind) but when they start saying well can she do this and that will she be ghetto or white. She whe have nappy hair. It really makes me mad. It doesnt matter what she looks like. She is a baby!

I'm mixed and have never had a problem. My fiance is white so our son will still be a quarter black and I feel like some of his family including his parents are prejudice. all I know is that if they say one thing that's out of line and offensive they will not be around my son.

[jenniferbradford2015]

I would love to cut ties and move away but due to current financial issues that isn't ppossible right now.

no but se the rules down this is ur child and that is not right a child of any color is a blessing im Mexican italian and my partner is full Guatemalan ehich should not be a big deal.but my family is light skinned and his father is dark and has more African features even though hes Hispanic but I have to deal with that with my poor son they say hes going to look like ans inca and the guys from apocalypto and the jungle book then I make fun of them like today my cousin told me ur sons going to be a triple wet back and i told her no hes not cuz his family ancestors are full native American there not mixed and i told her ur more of a wet back then my son because ur mixed with Spaniards and she got quite and felt stupid

I would cut the family out and move away. I would be so hurt and devastated if they treat my kids like that. But i know its hard to cut family out but if you do they will realize what they did wrong and try and make it up to you and then (I've been through sorta the same thing. They treat my one son like gold and not the other and it hurts so i stopped contact with them for a month and they came crawling back.)
God luck momma
