A MUM-OF-THREE has opened up about her experience after being accused of being the nanny for her own daughter.
Alex and Rob have three children together, and while Alex is a black woman and Rob is white, their youngest child who they refer to as Pudge Pudge, appears Caucasian.

Speaking to Truly, the loving mum hit back at nasty trolls who have questioned her relationship with her youngest daughter.
Rob said: “We did a DNA test to prove our child is hers.
“When Pudge Pudge was born, she definitely looked a bit different than the rest of our children.”
Alex revealed she has dealt with racism in regards to being the mother of her daughter multiple times, with nasty trolls asking ‘Whose white baby is that?’ and people insisting Pidge Pudge isn’t her child.
The pair have three children, Chub Chub, seven. Bubba, five, and Pudge Pudge, two.
Alex revealed they did experience issues with fertility at first and but managed to give birth to their three children with fertility help.
Pudge Pudge was conceived using IVF, but Alex’s egg was still used in the process.
The mum added: “We decided to do the DNA test because she was so light. And we did use IVF to get pregnant with her and mistakes happen. So we just wanted to rule that out, not have to worry about it.”
The test results came back identifying Alex and Rob as her biological parents but it doesn’t seem to be enough for nasty trolls.
Alex recalled heading out with her daughter for the first time after she was born and said: “This older white lady, she… I was complimented for being a great nanny. And I was in my feelings, and I was also hurt.”
“This is Pudge Pudge. She’s my daughter. I was pregnant with her. She still looks like this. She is blood of my blood and flesh of my flesh,” she added.
Despite some of the crueller comments, Alex and her family have many fans online praising the wonderful family.
The clip posted on Truly reached over 78k views and people were quick to share their love for the family in the comments.
One person wrote: “She looks like daddy. People are so ignorant.”
How does it happen?
While it’s not common to give birth to a white baby if you are black and vice versa, it’s certainly not impossible and multiple factors can be at play.
Genetic Variation: Human skin colour is determined by multiple genes, not just one. These genes control the amount and type of melanin produced in the skin. Melanin is the pigment responsible for the colour of the skin, hair, and eyes.
Genetic Dominance and Recessiveness: The inheritance of skin colour is a polygenic trait, meaning it is influenced by multiple genes. These genes can interact in complex ways, leading to a wide range of possible skin colours.
Another commented: “As a black mum, of a mixed kid who has albinism. I hear you momma. It’s WILD the mess you hear. I once got asked, “how’d that happen.””
“It’s amazing the amount of unlimited combinations of mum and dad’s DNA together to create unique babies. All your children are beautiful,” penned a third.
Meanwhile a fourth said: “What a loving mother and family. Those children are loved and cared for. I’m so happy for y’all. You do not deserve such negativity.”
“She is just adorable, forget people, enjoy your family,” claimed a fifth.
