Questions for moms moms who have kids who are mixed

Have y’all ever encountered rude interactions from strangers?

I got asked by strangers asking me if that if my child is my child.

I never respond to them and I keep moving.

This happened a few times while my daughter and I were taking a bus. luckily Security heard a guy ask me that and intervened making sure my daughter and I are safe.

I’m about to have my first and he will be mixed. I honestly will have no patience for anyone who asks me this dumb, ignorant, insensitive question.

ever since I was asked that, I carry my pepper spray or any self-defense device every time my daughter and I travel.

It’s always by white men who asked me this. I never respond

One guy got mad that I didn’t respond and a passer by heard this and was very concerned for our safety and made sure to stay close to us until we were safe.

Advise you to carry a self-defense device or mace when your baby is born
