[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don’t worry about it! My daughter who is of mixed Indian and Iranian ethnicity was terrified of old white people until she was about 2 years old! She would cry like crazy whenever approached by them in public.  Tan or brown people didn’t scare her. Go figure! [/quote]

I remember a kid telling my (white) mom that she was very old -- mom was in her 50s. Kids just say the most random stuff and sometimes have no idea what they said means or implies.[/quote]

When I (white woman) was in my early 30's I went to pick my daughter up from elementary school. A kid took one look at me, knew I was there for DD but wasn't exactly her mom, and yelled, "DD! Your .... grandma is here!"[/quote]

Darker-skinned mom to mixed kids who look white and yeah, I got treated like the nanny by other moms when DDs were little and in ES, I got a lot of "are you really her mom?" and "you don't look like her" when I picked up from aftercare. FYI - moms at the playground are incredibly rude to nannies.[/quote]

Ugh I got a lot of this. My kids have very white names and look very white. Although I am pale, I definitely don't look white and I have a very ethnic Latina name. A lot of people just assume I am my children's nanny.[/quote]
