[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know people are going to focus on the "it" of it....but... It's a Sinterklaas doll and his assistant Black Peter. (I don't want to get into the pro/con Black Peter argument especially by any Dutch people) we don't like it, don't have it in our house. My mother is older and very much loves it. She wants my daughter to have the fun of Sinterklaas day (which was Saturday) like she did (and I did) as a child. [/quote] I totally get it. My son did a report on this last year. It was awkward. My friend, who is dutch, posted FB pics of her family celebrating with a more PC veriosn of black Peter, but still. This is a pimple in your relationship. It will pass. Find other ways for her to see that you value your heritage and are not marginalizing your entire heritage. She's afraid of being phased out and wants a role. FIND ONE. I have no idea how, though. Hugs and sympathy. Send her some tulips? [/quote]
