[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People who comment loudly on one child's striking curly hair while ignoring the siblings with straight hair who are standing right there. Also people who do this for the blue-eyed child but ignore the brown-eyed one. It's so self-indulgent and rude.[/quote]

Similarly, everyone who wants to tell me HOW MUCH my kids look like me and "well, I am sure thtere's some DH in there... Somewhere..."
Bc my kids really dont look like me at all.  I gave them some generically ethnic features but if you really look at them, they look exactly like DH and FIL with an ethnic "layer" on top.
My own parents do this and it drives me up a freakin wall.[/quote]

We're an interracial family and ended up with one kid who looks like my race and one that looks like DH's race.  Neither kid "looks" biracial (assuming the definition of looking biracial is a mix of both races).  It drives me nuts when people I only know casually comment with "Are you sure Dad was involved with this one? wink wink" or "You'd never even know Mom was involved with her creation!"  Our families know better, AND both children have features from both parents, it's primarily skin color and hair texture that make them look like a particular race.  Which is pretty much all people see, although they would say otherwise.
