My kids got asked yesterday (by a family member visiting us) if they felt more Indian or more Italian...I was so annoyed at that question!! my kids are little and I don't want them to feel they need to be one or the either. How do you respond to people who ask such questions?

It's human nature just like adults like to ask kids if they prefer daddy or mummy, it's the same in your case. Some people are just trying to be funny and look for various ways to start conversations. I can't stop people from asking questions but I can choose how I wish to react to such questions. Behind closed doors I would explain to my kids about their biracial identity and remind them to embrace both and cherish it as most people only have one culture and they get the best of both worlds. Remind them that daddy and mummy loves them equally. I believe they will soon know that they feel like they're both!
