[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Black mom here, and I absolutely have noticed this with respect to white Moms with biracial kids. I think it’s because moms are more likely to run the day to day logistics of the family, so they do what is familiar. I suspect if I had married a white guy I would still parent the same way. Men just don’t care as much (generally, not all of them). I married an African and very little of his culture/language/foods is apparent in our family because I don’t know them, and he doesn’t bother.[/quote] Yep, I’m the child of a white mom, black father and I have no real connection with African American culture to the point that my (1/4 black) elementary school aged children were surprised to learn they had African heritage, because it honestly just never came up until then.[/quote] Do they not know your father’s side of the family?[/quote]
