Salut,
My DH and I are in a "mixed" marriage. I am a Black Parisian and he is an English man. My DH and I come from two different class backgrounds. He is from an upper middle-class family and I a working class. Nonetheless, we met in London while we were both working at an Investment Bank.
Now, we are expecting our first child (DD, Olivia is what we will name her) and my MIL and DH are VERY keen on sending her to a very good or private school. I do not mind at all, but I am concerned that my daughter will be one and only. I have visited a few nurseries around my area and most of the children there (95%) are English. Not a problem but I don't want my DD to feel different or be aware of her mixed heritage in a negative way.
I am assuming the worst you see. My DH and MIL wants our daughter to go to Wycombe Abbey or similar. So I am hoping someone is this forum can help me with recommended nurseries that have a healthy ratio of diversity? a school that can help my DD's chances of getting to such schools too?
I may be overreacting, but I really want the best for my DD too. After all it is why I work so hard!
à plus,
