Recently my son has been commenting on my skin color saying I'm black and he's brown. I know it…

I think it’s the age. They are just starting to notice. My 4 year old has done the same thing. I just say yes everyone is different colors and that’s ok. Just explain it’s part of what makes use unique and that what’s on the inside is all that matters. I’m sure he will stop pointing it out. I’m sorry you were bullied for you skin color.

My LO has also noticed and likes to point out our skin color differences I don’t think she means anything by it but she likes to say “mommy I’m brown and your white, & daddy is black”.

@bigmama18 thank you. I'll try these words. I've come to love my color just don't like the way he points it out. It sounds so mean.

@alyboo102293 maybe it's my hormones. If other kids do it I'll try to have a thicker skin about it

When one of my brother’s was about this age, I referred to him as my brother, and he said, “I’m not your real brother. I’m just your half brother.” Talk about a busted soul. He was the one I was closest to. Technically he was right, but it didn’t make it any less hurtful to hear. I had to remind myself that he was just young. They’re SO literal at that age. I promise you, all he does is look at you and see his beautiful mother.

For what it’s worth, your skin tone is gorgeous. ❤️

@mom2squared thank you ❤

@serrano_girl, I understand. It’s hard when they point out things. I’m sure he isn’t trying to hurt your feelings. You can be honest with him too. Tell him mommy used to get made fun of for having a dark complexion. It hurts your feelings when he does it. I’m sure he will stop. Use it as a segway to have the discussion about bullying and why it wrong.

Tell him its rude to say those kind of things i tell my daughter when she ask why someones belly is so big or they look a certain way I tell her its rude to point and ask why people looks certain ways I tell her mind her business people are born with disabillities or deformities or some people are overweight but reguardless she knows now but I tell her not to stare or make rude comments after a while they know whats right and wrong to say shes never mentioned others people skin color but my mom and brothers are dark skinned

Your beautiful, true beauty can't be seen it's in our soul..no makeup, just your 💓 your son is just at a curious age.we may all be different shades but,we all have a heart,soul and feeling's.

@bigmama18 @gingiej1207 @sherrynygirl thank you. I'm talking to him about it now. Absolutely time to start talking about bullying and how it's wrong. He did say he was joking, which I followed up with it's not a joke to hurt someone's feelings. You all are right he didn't mean to hurt my feelings and said he loved me the most. Hopefully he'll stop

You are gorgeous!
