Would you let your MIL/FIL keep your mix baby, if they were racist towards you and your family in the past? Comment why or why not?
My answer is no, but I want to see everyone’s difference of opinion

my in laws aren’t allowed to even see my daughter for so many reasons including this. if they’ll make racist comments about me and my family, they’ll definitely make comments about my child who looks exactly like me, and i won’t have that.

Absolutely not. First I wouldn’t trust them. Second if they don’t respect me or my family, they don’t deserve my respect, since I don’t respect them I could never leave my baby with them.

My son is half Mexican and half Belgian. When we meet my father side family, my brother was drunk and started to make low key level racist "jokes". It was the last time we all saw him. Not even thinking about leaving him access to my child... No way. I won't teach my son that this is acceptable behavior and expone him to that

No. My kids are biracial, they’re black. And they’re very obviously phenotypically black, and my parents are both MAGA losers so they don’t have the luxury of having close relationships with my kids or watching them. on top of racist micro-aggressions, I don’t trust anyone who is still denying certain people are pedos and providing cover for pedos, cough cough basically all of what’s left of MAGA with Trump. If you’re that delusional and scrambling to provide cover for pedophiles you cannot be trusted with my kids obviously, and I think that should be standard. Literally nobody who is racist and/or still maga should be trusted around children

My mother is rascist to my husband and my mil is rascist towards me. My mother and mil can’t be in the same room together because they don’t like each other simply for their race. My mom is Irish Canadian white European ancestry. My dad is Italian both hate blacks and Hispanics. I’m married to a Mexican who also happens to have darker skin. It didn’t bode well with my parents. My MIL treats me with contempt because I’m white and from a divorced family and is convinced I’m not a good fit for her son. She is constantly looking down her nose at me because “white supremacy”?! Like wut? I ain’t got none of that. I’m definitely not above anyone. Socially I’m on the lowest “rank” because I’m disabled. So yeah. It’s a hard no.

I can’t believe what I’m reading it’s 2026 I’m shocked no way would I have anyone with them believes anywhere near my child! That’s awful I’m so sorry but I wouldn’t have my children growing up with racists family or not xx

No shot… I’m not a mixed family but even if I was there’s absolutely no chance cause you don’t get to disrespect a parent and have access to the child like that’s wild

Wouldn’t want my baby to feel that kind of hatefulness

Never leave child alone with people who made you feel uneasy. Don’t care who they are 🙅🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️. I don’t trust my biological parents with my child based off of how I was raised ; if they can do to me what they did as their child ; I don’t want to imagine what they could do their grandchild.

No, because they are racist.

I wouldn’t leave my little one with anyone who is racist because I mean if they’re disrespecting your child they’re disrespecting you and it’s my opinion but I think mixed race kids are super cute!!

I accidentally hit maybe. But hell fucking no I would not. She would be lucky to even see my baby, let alone keep them. Tf

No, I wouldn't want that behavior to rub off on my children. I come from a very mixed family and have been around elder pure raced family members at family reunions who made some comments that made me and my also mixed cousin feel uncomfortable. I'm very happy I was never left in their care to be taught that's socially acceptable mannerisms. Behind closed doors or not.

No anyone that got a problem with you gonna judge your kids. I have learned loyalty and blood isn't always everything. Just bc you're loyal to your family and love them doesn't mean they will do the same. They have no shame in hurting you and do it again and again don't trust they won't do the same to your kids just bc they're kids or bc that's their grandchild.

My parents “don’t believe in different races” so until my children are old enough to walk and talk it’s not even a conversation. When I’m visiting I don’t leave them alone with my daughters.

As a mixed girl myself, I was brought up around family members who were racist, and although they always tried in their own way to make me feel loved, I would be exposed to racial slurs and conversations that made me grow up struggling with self hatred and anger. I still struggle now. Things that other people don’t think are a big deal, and probably don’t remember ever saying, stick in my mind even now as an adult myself. No child should be exposed to racism in any form.

Absolutely NO
