scared to raise a mixed girl.

[holli22]

We were hoping for a boy. But ultasound says girl. At first I was just excited that she was perfect healhy, everything measured right right.
Now I'm worried about all the things having a girl means.
Body image issues
Emotional
I just want to dig for worms with my kid.
But mostly I'm white and he's black. I not great with white girl hair how am I going to do her hair the way it should be done? Is she going to hate her white momma because kids at school will be mean if I don't do it right?
Ahhh. I love my nieces (his side and mine) and I know little girls can be awsome! I just scared I won't be good enough.

You will be a good mum n practice makes perfect, you have nothing to worry about you will be fine

Well he's black so you can always get advice from the women on his side they can teach you how to manage her hair plus you can always go on YouTube to see what they have

[holli22]

Thanks guys. I know kids don't see color but as she gets a little older she'll notice a difference.  How do I answer questions like "is santa black or white?"  "What color is Jesus?"
I don't want her to feel less of a black woman because she half white and visa versa.
I gonna do every thing in my power to make sure she knows she's is beautiful and should be color blind. Just scared to fail her.

I was the same way with my first daughter.  I had a huge meltdown the day before we got endured.  Butthe minute they put her on my chest I held "my daughter" aand all those feelings were gone.  She is my side kick and my everything and I m certain you will experience the same thing.  BTW my daughter ties knots n casts a pole better than my son ;)

Momma no need to worry! U have at least 4 yrs to learn before she goes to school!I wouldn't even be worried or concerned.  Maybe his side the the family can show u some things.

I have two... My oldest daughters hair is textured but is really long down to her waist...she is 5, talk about beautiful hair! And my youngest daughter has the "white girl" hair... And its just past her shoulders half straight half curly and absolutely no texture whatsoever. It isn't guaranteed that your daughter will have textured hair...but it is a guarantee that she will be beautiful and VERY much loved by her mommy and daddy :-)
Many blessings to you and your family

There is nothing wrong with being mixed ! I'm mixed and I wouldn't trade it for anything. Her hair will likely be curly & thick but it is not unmanageable. People will likely be jealous of her hair. Leave in conditioners and oils (not too much) are helpful in taming it & reducing friz. Ull b fine.

[heavenlyhash]

Honestly dont worry about the hair... My daughter has some naps
To be honest I can't do my neices hair anymore its too fine.... Black hair is easier to grab and twist and do different things with I find atleast lol... You will love having a little girl... Until she hits 8 then they are pains in the butts... Lol

[derrickjrmommy]

Well figure issues are sometimes aconcern as on butt and stuff but you never know she could be skinny and fit... or she could have curves and a butt.. hair isnt too im white and my man is black (Darkskinned) and we have a 2 year old son and i didnt know anything whatsoever about braiding but i KNEW i wanted my son to have braids! I went on youtube and watched some videos and after my 2nd time trying i got it! Hey it may not be perfect as if i went to the shop but he looks cute and it works.! Im 13weeks n 4 days now... with our second im hoping for another boy but i just know im having a girl.... im here if you wanna talk!♥

[CrysyMarie87]

I am mixed myself and so will be my soon to be baby girl but I have a feeling her hair is gonna be a little thicker than mines considering my mother was full Mexican and Indian and my father is black but my daughter will be Mexican , Indian and black from me and black from her father but I was kinda worried about it as well but then I realize there's a lot of different products and good products at that for the type of hair texture that your daughter will have so don't worry about it you will definitely get the hang of it bc growing up my mama had to use grease and curly stuff for my hair bc the texture of my hair was so different and her hair is nothing like that lol . But mixed children are beautiful especially girls !! More unique and exotic looking bc most of the times ppl don't know what you are.

[mommy3power]

Awww you'll be fine mommy... We are all mixed in some kind of way lol.. I'm a black women with natural red hair.. And you will get the hang of combing hair with time.. Don't doubt your self your gone be her shero... And kids don't see skin color all they see is mommy and daddy... Mixed parents are becoming more popular then they use to be.. I think mixed babies are beautiful.. My lil cousins are all mixed and I love them the same as everyone else.. You'll do great

[angjaramillo]

Don't stress, you'll be fine. My step-daughter has very difficult hair. She is mixed. I was so nervous to do her hair but its not that bad. Also, textutres can be different. I'm hoping our daughter's hair isn't as thick since my hair is fine. It should be easier to do. Just play around with it.

[lmomma77]

The stuff she is talking about is care free curl gold it's for natural or curly hair

[elocinin]

The hair isn't as hard as you think. depends on the texture she has but Google it play with products snd youll be fine. A friend of mine used thus stuff in a gold bottle w red top it worked great.good luck and don't stress
