People can be so cruel sometimes! I imagine this situation must be even harder for the child as it grows up. It’s interesting that you bring this point up, because there is a new movie I’ve seen commercials recently about a mother fighting a custody battle for her son where the father’s argument is that he should raise the child because they have the same skin color. I will look into the details and see if I can post about it here. Has anyone seen the same preview recently?

Ignore them! I have four children and I get many inappropriate comments, about having so many children. (And the same people have no issue with saying these comments in front of the children, as your friend may have experienced.) I have to watch what I say, in order to be a good role model to my children, but I try to make my facial expression say "Wow, you are really ignorant." Don't know if it works, lol, but it makes me feel better!

Yes, it's always something. I have 4 kids too, and people say stupid things like "don't you know how that happens?" I was adopted, and someone said to my mom one time "so that's what it looks like when you buy a baby" LOL. People are just thoughtless.

People can be so heartless sometimes. I'm really sensitive to this subject because my sister also goes through the same thing with her husband, so I know where your friend is coming from. You really just need to ignore it and "keep truckin'"...and pray your kids won't have to deal with it when their older.
I think saw that commercial too Pam... I assume this is what you are referring to:

It’s for the movie called What color is Love with Jennifer Finnegan. It’s on this weekend on the LMN channel…looks pretty intense but I plan on watching as well
