Grandparent is tired of the rude questions about their biracial granddaughter.
My loving, and well-loved, 7-year-old granddaughter is biracial. A few times when someone sees her photo they’ve commented, “Oh, your daughter married a Black man?” Beside being incredibly rude, it isn’t true. But do I need to tell friends and acquaintances the whole story? What short statement works?You don’t need to tell anyone more than you don’t want to.
You want to explore if there’s a middle ground. For example, you may name how you feel with your daughter by saying something like, “I feel nervous about saying the wrong thing and making things worse. I don’t want to bite my tongue because I really care about you. Can we talk about what I’m feeling?”
