What is one question you hate to be asked? Explain.

The question is have learned to hate is when I am out with my kiddos people ask if im their mother or like the babysitter or something. Its been a while since it happened but i hate it. Im African American and my kiddos are mixed with Mexican so they are super light skinned. When their grandmother was still with us whenever we went somewhere together people would think she was the mom n not me. I think it was a mix believe cause ppl think im younger than I am plus with their coloring they dont look black. So it was frustrating.

    Don’t answer the question. Instead, enlighten them — gently — with how DNA actually works. Traits don’t follow skin tone, hair texture, or anyone’s assumptions. DNA recombines, mixes, and expresses itself in countless ways. Children can look like any branch of their lineage, not just the parent standing in front of them.
    Then finish with:
    “I thought everybody knew that.”

    I get you. ugh. I had people think I am the big sister before! Now that I’ve gotten older, not so much.
