“Today, my daughter changed her profile picture. After maybe 5 minutes, I get a text …’ I didn’t know she was dating a black boy, did you?’
It took me all day to think up a response, which I didn’t send personally but thought I would share for anyone else that ‘may not know’.
Yes, I did know, but the colour of his skin doesn’t define who he is. What does define who he is is how he treats my daughter. 🫠
I see my daughter dating a boy that comes to my house and shows me nothing but respect (a big deal in my book). It’s always Yes Ma’am, No Ma’am; we talk about football and baseball, he tells me bye when he leaves, and he has never shown me a lack of manners or respect. 🫠
I see my daughter dating a boy who treats her well. He takes her on dates, to ballgames, out to eat… not to a club or partying on the weekends. 🫠
My daughter is dating a boy who takes her to church with him. Every Sunday. He plays in the band; she sits with his family. 🫠
How many young men these days make church a priority? 🫠
None of the others have. 🫠
He doesn’t hit her, cuss her, lie to her, or make her cry. 🫠
Would I instead date a white boy that did, to keep from her dating another race? 🫠
Not. 🫠
So that’s my response to the question I was asked. 🫠
And I know people have their own opinion, but at the end of the day, the fact that my daughter has someone that loves her and treats her like a queen makes me happy. 🫠
That’s something I’ve never had, and I’m glad she does.” 🫠

Love this post. What you say about young people in church is so true. My daughter was brought up in church, she is now married and although the guy treats us with respect and the other things mentioned in your post he does not believe therefore my daughter sadly stopped attending church when she met him.
Your daughter will find her way back. Ken, I do understand. I feel for your dear family members also. Children do need their Mothers and Fathers, don’t lose hope. Leave your doors open. God allows provides Amen 🙏
