Hey hush..

[missbuttabutt]

Hushfolk,
What's up?

I had joined this board about a year ago, but then fell off after a while. I was fooling around on the net and remembered the Hush and some of the crazy shit talked about on here. Then I read up on some threads and some of what is going on here, and I must say...DAMN..y'all some bickering black folk, lol.

As far as my life is going(if anyone is interested), husband and I are doing very well, just found out that I'm 4 months pregnant, so we're ecstatic over that. He's been promoted, and with the help of his parents we're working toward putting a down payment on a house, fingers crossed and all. Relationship with mother has improved somewhat (still on the whole interracial marriage thing) and slowly on the path to becoming friends.

How's everyone been doing?

Welcome back! Glad to see that everything is going well for you.

Hea butta! It's good to hear from you again! I am very glad to hear that your life is going well. All I want is for you to give your kid my name. No, not Zuri...well...zuri is a cool name. But give your baby my real name (It is one of the top popular names out there...)

So, tell us about your journey about your mother-in-law. Do you think that here issue is with your race...or something else?

And what is your opinion about the whole interracial thing anyway? You were looking for happiness...above other things...so it looks like you are doing quite well.

Well...take care!

i was in the hush basement the other day and ran across one of your post and wondered what you were up to.

congrats on the baby thing (we do know what was up now...lol)

welcome back.

Well, our story has come a long way. (Zuri my issue was with my mother, not his. Actually, I get along fine with my MIL.)

When we were just dating, my mother really didn't have too much to say about it, though I could always sense somehow that she had a problem deep down somewhere. When I told her we were getting married, she still said nothing, but every so often she would mention little things that gave me clues to let me know she wasn't thoroughly thrilled. My husband is Jewish, and as most people know, the Jewish wedding customs are different than that of the Christian faith.

As a deeply religious Christian, my mother felt that I was betraying her by marrying a Jewish person, even though MY marriage has NOTHING to do with her.

We've been working through her feelings of hurt and betrayal with a counselor, and in the process, discovered that she's been harboring negative feelings about White people for years, almost to the point of racism.

She's coming to realize that having these feelings for her son-in-law will in NO WAY be healthy for the grandchild that she SHOULD love unconditionally.

We lost the baby the first time we got pregnant, which was how we all came to attend the counseling. She's coming along slowly...old stubborn goat :beating :p

My feelings about interracial dating/marriage have always been the same. I don't see color as an issue, and I think that love is love, no matter what the skin tone.

All I want is a happy, healthy child and I'll be fine.

welcome back, butta - glad life is treating you and yours right! :)

i am sure the term "unequally yoked" has come out of your mothers mouth.

sorry to hear about your loss.
