I think I'm having an over-sensitive day!
We have 3 children who are all different looking to each other. Rico is dark with big chocolate brown eyes, like his dad (whose half Maori), & Gia & Jett are fair like me & blue-eyed (which is bizarre considering both DH & I are have brown eyes). Jett however does have a auburn tinge in his hair, which EVERY man & his dog have picked out & make it their perogative to comment on. I think Jett is absolutely GORGEOUS & don't care what colour his hair is. It depends which light he is in. At night, he looks dark. In the morning when the sun is on it, you can see the auburn. I'm just getting sick of the "oh he's a ginga" comments! Like it's a bad thing, cos' it's followed by a giant roar of laughter! NEVER have Rico or Gia had comments like "Oh, he's got dark hair HAHAHAHAHA!" or "She's blonde HAHAHAHAHA!" Why can't people just say "he's gorgeous" & leave it at that, instead of "uh oh, I think he's going to be a ginga..... but he is gorgeous". The "ginga" part is always said in a negative way which is what is getting to me. It's just all come a bit much now & today I actually feel like crying about it. What set me off was my SIL whose staying with us. She said she's updated her blog on her website & was saying how she's been staying with us & talking about the kids. She said she put - & I quote - "Jett what can i say just a stunner with that 'RED HAIR' ". He's perfectly healthy, growing so well & is a happy boy whose always got smiles for you, & THAT is all she can put about him - HIS hair colour!! I'm over those sorts of comments now. He's only 11 weeks old, & I know they're only going to continue if his hair colour stays with the auburn. But I think the next person who comments on it is going to get an earful from me!! BECAUSE DOES IT REALLY MATTER?!!? The only thing that matters to me is whether or not he's healthy & progressing well, in which he is. I love him to pieces, he's a wonderful little boy & it hurts me when people can be so insensitive about their comments! ------------- My babies: R (9),G (7), J (5) http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">

I for one can't understand what the attraction/dislike is about ginger hair.I mean it's just another hair colour. Personally I think it can look absolutely stunning on some people. As I'm sure it does on your wee boy.

Italiah, my dd is the same with her hair colour. I just ignore the comments and don't let it get to me. It will be interesting to see if her hair colour changes over time as in some light it looks really light blonde, other light its strawberry.
And just so you know i think Jett looks very cute and will just become more adorable every day  -------------

I just find that some people look at your baby to find faults?!? Or is that just with my children?
Like I said, they say the negative comment, followed by a positive. Why point out what THEY THINK to be negative to you? I think the comment made by my SIL just tipped me over the edge with it all. It will be interesting this weekend, as my sister is having a HUGE 10th Wedding Anniversary party & a lot of friends & family that haven't seen Jett will be there. I'm dreading already what sort of comments I'll get. ------------- My babies: R (9),G (7), J (5) http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">

i know this isnt exactly the same situation Italia but my DH is half maori and our wee girl came out as pale as anything.
all people could say when janaya was born was "OMG shes white" or "are you sure shes your DH's?" shes blue eyed, as pale as anything and has blondish/brownish hair. why cant they just say "gosh shes beautiful" or "shes lovely" ....people treated her as if she was a freak of nature! it actually got to the point where i was warning people that she was white before they met her, just to avoid the "OMG". it was really upsetting and it still gets to me 4 years later. ------------- Mummy to two beauties...

I'm a 'ginga' but in the last few years it's turned what some people call strawberry-blonde now... and I have to say that after coming to terms with the red I grew up with, I feel a little bit offended that someone would call me any form of 'blonde'!! Crazy eh. Ella gets lots of the 'ginga' jokes - and might I add her's isn't bright bright red, but yes, it's definantly red, and I love it. I got picked on at school for being a 'carrot top' and as a kid that used to really upset me, but it's just one of those things - can't stop people making cracks about it, but if the people close to you know you're sick of the jokes, then they can at least stop trying to be funny by cracking them, so tell them where to shove it. Personally, I have to be in the mood to handle the word 'ginga' - and some of our mates who constantly cracked jokes about "it's definantly gonna be a ginga" while I was pregnant REALLY got on my nerves. But I'm sure they have to admit, Ella is gorgeous with her lovely hair, so nah nah nah to them! FYI: I know two of the sort of gorgeous women who could have any guy they like, who are hot only for red-head guys. So there we have it. Red is hot too! ------------- Andie |

Gingers are the coolest Italiah, and don't let anyone suggest otherwise!!
Although, having said that, I've been taking the p*ss out of DH chronically this month as he's growing a beard for Movember, and it's come out really ginger
I don't know what it is about Gingers that people love taking the mickey  including Gingers taking it out of themselves

People seem to think that it's an allowed sl*gging. I'm sure no one actually thinks that it's offensive or annoying in any way. However I know there's only so many times you can hear the same comments over and over again.
Off topic but DH doesn't drink. And people seem to think that it's the funniest thing ever an Irish man not drinking. He often gets asked 'But you drink Guinness don't you?' We also had a neighbour when we lived in Hamilton who would say 'Top of the mornin' to ye' every single time he saw us! We were not sad to leave that street!

One main reason why I don't like Mark Ellis anymore cos of his ginga comments. t**ser.
I hate it when people say, ha ha you are going to have "ginga" kids, so? I like my red hair, it is different! Makes it easier for me to be spotted in a crowd, especially when we were travelling through China. Of course I got hasseled when I was a kid and always hated being so white, but there would have been something else I would have been hassled about if it wasn't my hair. I would love to have a red head child (but just have my red head fur baby at the moment). I am not sure why in the past couple of years the world seems to have gone so anti-ginga! These days it is mainly old ladies saying how lovely my hair is .... not that you are an old lady Paws. |

I don't look anything like my siblings either, they're all blonde and blue eyed (altho the blond is from a bottle these days!) and I'm very dark haired and green eyed, we always got comments about it when we were kids.
As for the ginga comments, I have to say two of the coolest people I know have ginger hair - Ginger and Andie's Ella, and it doesn't define who they are! I think Ella is absolutely gorgeous, one of the most beautiful kids I've ever seen and Ginger is just an absolute sweetheart.

Just because DH is half maori, everyone expects ALL our kids to be dark. But they only have a quarter Maori in them, so why should they be? Everyone is shocked that 2 out of 3 children are fair & blue-eyed. But I'm fair - so why can't they be fair like me? Just all silly really, like i said - I think I'm over an over-sensitve day!
Even DH jokes about "who is Jett's real father" because of the auburn in his hair. So that's hard to hear as it makes me feel like he can't accept his child not looking like him. Rico is nothing like me, but I'm proud that he looks like his father. ------------- My babies: R (9),G (7), J (5) http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">

I think red is a great colour, and besides you can always teach them to turn around when someone calls then a ginga and say...well at aleast im not boring...lol ------------- http://lilypie.com">

The ginger hair colour could actually come from your DH's side Italiah as Maori genes, when mixed with white genes can create a red hair colour for some reason.
My sister and BIL's nephew has dark skin like his father and the brightest red hair, it's absolutely gorgeous! He loves it cos his uncle calls him 'the ginger ninja'! If you decided to retaliate, you could point out something you see as negative in family members! eg.: SIL: Jett's got red hair HAHAHAHA You: You've got a big butt HAHAHAHA and see if she likes it then!

Yay go the ginga club... yes I am one myself. As red as red can be. Of course I've had the many comments about how our wee boy is gonna be ginga, and I always reply with something like "I know cool ay, he's gonna be such a wee cutie.. probably a cheeky wee redhead boy running around" and one of my things at the moment is that I can't wait for him to come out so I can see what kind of red hair he has.
I agree with the whole ginga's being able to take the mickey out of themselves, as I often do, but I'd get really offended if anyone I wasn't really close to mocked me for it. We have little in-jokes with my mates, but it's actually mainly about being part of the ginga appreciation club - and about how much gingas are discriminated against! We were even gonna have a dress-up as a ginga house warming party.. I think it's just cos it's different. And I do think that some people can be incredibly rude because they don't think before they speak. Friends of DH's had a gorgeous wee redhead girl and some people were like "wow she's ginga, how do you feel about that?". I was so angry when I heard that. Personally I think auburn is a beautiful colour of hair. And hey, the only time red hair doesn't look so good is when parents give their boy a bad haircut and a side parting  .
Maybe when people make negative comments about him being a redhead or ginga you can respond with something like "I know, isn't it a gorgeous colour, we love it" to try and get rid of the negative spin. You know what... when our wee boy arrives, I'll actually be kind of disappointed if his hair isn't some shade of red, I think it's styley as! ------------- Mama to DS1 (5 years), DS2 (3 years) and... http://alterna-tickers.com" rel="nofollow">

I agree with what everyone else has said. I just don't understand this 'ginga bashing' that has started up. Like those with red hair have said they were always hasseled a bit at school etc but now in seems to be the 'in' thing to do. Personally I think red hair is great!!!

Bella has ginger hair and eyebrows (I like to call it "strawberry blonde") and everyone says "oh, she's got a tinge of red/ginger" - even my OB said this when he first saw her!!!! So what like??!! And then everyone goes "so who's side of the family is that from?" in a sort-of accusatory fashion...My great-grandfather was a red-head but no-one else in my side or DH's side of the family is red, so not quite sure where she gets it from, but I think its beautiful anyway

Yeah totally its always gonna get commented on, although sometimes I think it can be purely observational rather than negative... like you might see a wee baby with heaps of hair and say "man she's got a lot of hair hasn't she!" not meaning to come across negative, just cos it's something different. And to tell the truth, if my friends had a redhead baby I'd be curious to know when it got the colour from.. just cos it's interesting ------------- Mama to DS1 (5 years), DS2 (3 years) and... http://alterna-tickers.com" rel="nofollow">

Totally - I mean being racist isn't acceptable in our society, so why is this?! I was hassled a wee bit when I was a kid but the worst thing was when I was our shopping by myself a few years ago... there was a group of youngish teenage boys and one of them yelled out something at me very derogitory to do with being ginga.  It's so embarrassing that I can't write it  . I was so shocked I just pretended I didn't hear them and carried on walking. If it happened these days, I think the teacher in me would come out and I'd give them a right bolocking lecture. I just couldn't believe that kids could be so blatently rude and disrespectful to a stranger on the street. ------------- Mama to DS1 (5 years), DS2 (3 years) and... http://alterna-tickers.com" rel="nofollow">

I agree, don't worry, you have no idea what his hair colour might do in a few months. My mum always told me that I was born with Jet Black hair and as I grew up I had blonde hair and now it's um... actually I have no idea what my natural hair colour is
Cooper was born with black hair and as he's gotten older its lightened slightly. I was surprised when he came out as I thought he'd have either blonde hair or no hair like his sister. I also get the comments, Conor's real father is maori so he's quite dark, and then we've got Nyah who's blonde/blue eyed and Cooper brown/blue eyes. The wierd thing is though that Cooper looks like Conor so go figure?? I guess what I'm trying to say is; give it time, ignore the smart arses and see what happens..... ------------- Mr Mellow (16) Miss Attitude (8) Destructa Kid (3)

Ah, I reckon it is envy a lot of the time - gingas are gorgeous (Nicole Kidman, Julia Roberts); cool (the weasleys in HP), and the most sold hair colour dye.
But don't think it is reserved for red heads - try being a blonde female - i bet everyone on here who is has heard every blonde joke out there. For some reason these sorts of things are said to your face, whereas skin colour racism is kept behind closed doors. And don't worry about Mark Ellis - his quote was a (very funny) south park episode quote, so he didn't think of it himself! -------------

I'm a "gingernut" and my husband was when he was first born. But then his hair fell out and he went brown. We thought our little boy was probably going to be ginger because of us both, so we called him Rohan which is Gaelic for "fiery redhead". Then he was born with masses ( and I mean masses!) of black hair!

oh i have to comment..my WHOLE life people say 'oh you have red hair' like I am deformed or something(which also annoys me as my brother is disabled and they talk to him like he's an idiot but i won't go there..
my Dh's family(although not him except in his goatee) had red hair AND our baby will likely be left handed too..i like being different and gt a lot of nice comments about my hair now I have let it go back to natural while i am pregnant) but i am sick of being spoken to like a second class person..one of the staff at one of my old jobs used to tease me every day about it..and she was a blonde..but i didnt bother teasing her back and she used to say to the red headed children 'oh you will be fiery an aggressive...must be the red hair' to which every single time i would go to them and tell them they are special and it's a great thing to have red hair.. I don't get it either..but if another person tells me i will have a 'left handed ginga' i may hit them:) I don't care if he's had green hair he will be my baby *rant over* :) ------------- Mum to two amazing boys! |

Red hair....every parents worse nightmare...or so I have been told!! Maybe it is just because you get picked on with red hair. Why? I dont know. I am a redhead and I am gutted that it has faded to nothing short of a sh*t colour now so I have to artificially enhance it.
Tom has that tinge to his hair too which suprised me as I expected him to be a blondy as both DH and I were as kids. I actually think thats the way it is heading but it seems a lot of babies go through the red stage. Like I said its to scare the parents!! Personally I look at red head kids and think "how gorgeous" but then I look at little blondies and think the same and then there are the dark haired little monsters too..oh so cute!!! At least Jett has hair! I think all of your babies are totally gorgeous Italiah and I actually see a lot of likeness in them. That photo you posted of them all sitting with DH really shows the resemblances...no question that you are all related. It will be interesting to see what Tom and Jett end up with. |

Oh you girls are all so sweet with your comments, thank you! I could probably understand it a bit more if he was bright orange, but he's not, just that wee tinge in the light. I remember Gia had a red tinge for a couple of months, but didn't get one comment from anyone else. I only noticed it when I took a photo & the flash reflected it. I think too since people have the other 2 children to compare him to, they make comments about the fact the whole 3 of them are all different to each other. I think Jett is quite like Rico when he was a baby, but Rico was really dark. Jett's just a little whitey.
I am feeling better now, it's amazing how sensitive you get over peoples comments on your baby. ------------- My babies: R (9),G (7), J (5) http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">

DH has red hair and always got the carrot top comment growing up - to which he would use the reply but my hairs not green, and that would confuse the kids. DH was quite worried that our boys would have red hair (I think from the comments he got as a child), so far they haven't but Josh has red highlights. I know I have red highlights in my real hair colour and it doesn't worry me. The others are right Ella is so cute and her red hair is beautiful. ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |

Another thing about red hair is that the gene is expected to have died out within 100 years (I read that in a book by Robert Winston I think) and so having red hair is extra special because we're an endangered species of sorts!
ANNNDDD Shell - red hair is a double recessive gene (is that the right expression?), so someone, somewhere on your DH's side would have been a Ginger It has to be carried by both parents to pop out in le kidlets.

I love red hair. I have natural reddish highlights (which are rapidly going grey at the moment urghh - now there's a nasty hair colour - grey!!  ). And if you think red hair comments are bad - try growing up with really pale skin and millions of dark freckles, what can I say except kids can be cruel.
And Red, I can't wait for my redhaired nieces and/or nephews, hurry up!

Sorry i havnt read the other comments! cos im lazy but i thought id add my 2cents!
My DH has fire red hair (darker in the winter though) and i LOVE it!!!!! he was bleeching it blonde when i first met him so i told him to stop it!! hes always complaining about it and i always say "well i married the wrong guy then if i didnt like it!!! so duh! of course i like it!!" it gives him character!! and noone ever forgets him!! (being 6ft4 makes him unforgetable as well!!). He has the skip generation gene - his grandad had red hair (so did his great great grandad) and his father has blonde hair and his mother has dark, he was the only 1 of the 3 kids to have red hair (his sis had blonde, he has red and his lil bro has brown), now i have auburn hair and he has red but we ended up with 2 blondes!! (and blue eyed also!!!????) so i dare say that our grandbabies will have red hair
I have always got comments (about Bay and now Astin) such as "UH OH! it looks like his hair is going red!!" to which i answer "so what!!!?? its cute!!!". Italiah you have 3 ABSOLUTELY GORGOUS!! kids!! red hair or not!!! and i reckon its cool having kids that all look different!! you get to see all the different combinations you can make!  instead of having 3 that look the same!! (not that theres anything wrong with that either!!!)

Wow, there's a lot more red-heads out there than I realised! And you're all awesome people - SO it really doesn't matter what colour your hair is does it! It's about your personality! I just hate that it comes across as a negative when people comment on it. ------------- My babies: R (9),G (7), J (5) http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">
