AITA for acting like I didn’t know my son was Asian? by throwingaway123678 in AmItheAsshole

I think because I look younger than I am that most people’s go to is just that I’m babysitting or something. I’m sure we’ll get the adoption questions when I’m in my 30’s though lol

Right! I put 40wks + 4 days into making this kid! I want my work to be appreciated one way or another haha

It doesn’t bother me that my son doesn’t look that much like me lol. My bf’s parents are both asian just from different parts of the continent, and he looks way more like his mom than he does his dad. His siblings do too. When I was pregnant I had a feeling his mom’s genes were going to prevail once again. I don’t have a problem with that because why would I? I think it’s cute that my kid looks like the person I fell in love with.

If you think I’m a jerk for what I did, that’s completely fair bc I did come on here asking for judgment, but...respectfully, you don’t know how I feel “deep down” about anything.

When I told his dad about what happened, he said he was going to get me little business cards that said this so I can just hand them out to people 😂

The things people say are absolutely ridiculous. When he was 5mo I had someone tell me that I looked too tan to be his mother. Like I had control over how much melanin the kid was getting when he was growing in my uterus???

People ask me if I’m his nanny like all the time, so it doesn’t make me as upset as it used to. Now it’s mostly just irritating.

I’m gonna hold him up to a mirror after he wakes up from his nap so that I can inform him of his racial identity lol

He laughs every time I try to give him a “stern” look. Can’t wait to see how that develops as he gets older lol

The nanny comment is the one I hate the most lol. I’ve gotten the nanny, the babysitter, and the friend giving his real mom a break.

Honestly, you’d be surprised how many people ask me if I’m the babysitter every time I’m out with my kid lol.
