on being a mom

[shootingstar]

ha, my mother's Asian and my father's European. There are so many of us Eurasians here in Vancouver!

My brother married a Taiwanese girls, so although my nieces are technically 1/4 white, they don't look a bit caucasian. So when my dad's holding my nieces, they don't look like they're related at all!!

Unbelievable..badger! And I haven't even met you yet. Maybe we've already passed each other like ships at night on the street.

My oldest niece (24, and she has gasp, a career now) and her brother, both look more Caucasian. So I am amazed by the end result of your 1/4 chinese nieces.

The 3rd Eurasian kid is a niece from the youngest sister, only just under 1 yr. oldn now. Ella Mei (Mei means beautiful in Chinese) and I share the same birthday. It's very cool!

I think it must be very difficult to have to make that decision. I always wanted babies, since I was in my late teens. Had two in early 20's and one more at 37. When I remarried at 46, I seriously considered one more for a brief moment. (!)

I have a good friend who just turned 50. She never wanted kids all her life, was single but dated a lot and had several long term relationships. She finally got married around 40 and decided she really did want to have a baby. After much trying, it didn't happen and she has mourned that missed opportunity since.

And I know several women who've never had children and very happy about it.

I think it can sometimes be the hardest decision a woman can make.

my husband's southeast asian (indonesian). My hair was light brown (before it turned grey) and I have blue eyes. My son has dark brown eyes and straight liver chestnut colored hair, that is getting darker as he gets older. And, unlike me, he never sunburns.

Both niece and nephew, tan well...like their mother. Their father has more florid pink skin to match his blue eyes.
