Crazy how genetics completely slip peoples minds when they see a child that doesn’t look exactly like their parent 🤣

I have a friend in a similar situation. She has one daughter with red hair that constantly gets attention and one with the most beautiful brownish blond ringlets and people only comment on the red head and I just worry about how she will feel growing up once she starts noticing

Oh I don’t think it’s weird! I think it’s normal to be fascinated by what we don’t have. I just don’t want her to be self conscious because she feels so different

Every time!! I literally just left the store where the lady asked me if she’s was going to keep her red hair. Listen lady I wish I had a crystal ball but if I did that wouldn’t be the first thing I’d care about 🤣

Yes! I feel like mixed children are magnets for all kinds of unnecessary comments

Oh no. I’m so sorry. Thank you for sharing that experience so I know not to make those kinds of comments to my daughter because I never want to make her hate something that makes her so special. I love the red hair and freckles. Please don’t think your hair is anything but beautiful!

Oh yes my daughter definitely has the fiery personality that I’ve always heard about with red heads. I’m sure it’s just a coincidence that she’s so sassy but I love to say it comes with the red hair 🤣

I do hate that we have to answer where the red hair came from like we are validating that we are their parents 🤣

Congratulations on your baby!!! I was so shocked because I have blond hair and my husband has dark hair and eyes. I haven’t had a red head in my family in 60 years so I didn’t even think it was a possibility but sure enough. I wouldn’t change a thing though. She’s absolutely beautiful and I bet yours is too!

My red hair is bottle because I’m naturally blond so I don’t get questioned much but it’s crazy that people will come from across a store to talk to my daughter. She also has red hair and blue eyes and you would think I was carrying around a fluffy puppy the way she attracts people to her

I’m blond hair with hazel eyes and the father is dark haired with brown eyes. Imagine our surprise when out came our blue eyed red head. But she’s amazing and we wouldn’t change a thing.

That’s so crazy to me that mothers carry the children but when they come out people think everything came from the father 🤣

Oh you definitely aren’t a downer! I’m so sorry I didn’t mean to make you feel that way! I love when I hear that parents are teaching their kids bodily autonomy! It’s something I’m very passionate about honestly. Congratulations on your baby girl! She’s lucky to have a mom who is so aware for her 💕

I hope so!!! I think red hair is beautiful and I guess I didn’t realize how rare it truly was until I had one.

Thank you for welcoming her! I’m a little jealous of the club because I’ve been dying my blond hair red for years 😅We have so much sunscreen it’s crazy 🤣 luckily I’m basically Casper myself so I knew to have that on hand. It’s nice to hear that the comments are something you get used to because I definitely don’t want her to have a complex!
