Should i cut my mother off?

Question

Ok so my mom always makes smart remarks about my child saying “you better hope the baby comes out looking like you because lord knows the father is ugly” like ... what? Will you love it any less if it came out looking like him? The second thing is I’m lightskin & he’s brown skin not that dark though as she says he is but she mentioned “dark skin babies aren’t cute you want a lightskin baby” like what is your problem? I’m debating on cutting her off should i or should i wait for her to say one more smart thing?

Answer

I would set a boundary first, no more comments about appearances. Then if she breaks that you can do something about it. I think it's wrong to take drastic measures of cutting people out of your life without warning.

Answer

I would say something now. Your baby is going to look like what it looks like. She’s entitled to her opinion I suppose but I’d ask her to keep it to herself or say something to check her train of thought.

Answer

No matter what our parents do we don’t like and how wrong they may be they’ll always be our parents. No one can replace or compare. Never cut either parent out. Reduce contact but I’d never go to the extreme of never speaking again.

Answer

WHOAH!! Ha, that's so ridiculously racist! Don't cut her off just get. Give her one warning. Make it crystal clear that you don't accept that kind of talk. Then if she keeps on, THEN cut her off.

Answer

I mean it’s your mother and one day she could be gone so I would recommend just maybe ignoring her a little.

Answer

People always said they hoped my daughter looked like me and not my husband.  But you know what, she looks just like him and is the cutest little girl alive.  No paternity test needed lol
