Not a biology major

Today, my boyfriend of 5 years almost broke up with me. Why? Our one month old's hair is growing in blonde, and we both have dark hair. Did I cheat? No. I had blonde hair as a child until I was 4... As did everyone else born in my family. I guess this factor doesn't count when you're paranoid. FML

Aw hell, this is going to start the "YDI, get married first" comments.

You could explain to your BF that two dark-haired people could have a blond child due to recessive genes, or just get a paternity test and make his dumb ass pay for it.

Oh and you might wanna try going on Maury. That way the paternity test is free and you can embarrass him at the same time...Unless you're one of those women who has to test like 8 men. Then you're just embarassing yourself.

I'm guessing your boyfriend did not do well in school? Otherwise he'd know about these things called recessive genes whereby two dark haired parents can still have a light haired child. Now, if you two both had light hair and the child had dark hair, THEN he would have reason for concern.

alright guys, it sounds like the OP has quite enough on her plate with a one month old baby AND a dumbass ex-boyfriend. harrassing her about not being married and getting pregnant is not going to solve things. it happens, people. anyway, i'm sorry about your situation. i also have dark hair, and had blonde hair when i was little.

2 dark haired ppl have a 25% chance of having a blonde child if they both are carriers for the blonde-haired gene. basic mendelian genetics. tell him to look it up.

Wow, your (ex)-boyfriend is a dumbass.

good riddance cause clearly your boyfriend is dumb as rocks if he thinks you can't have blonde haired kids when you both have dark hair, ******* idiot needs to go back to school

He doesn't sound too bring. He obviously knows nothing about dominant and recessive genes. What a moron.

Boyfriend is stupid. Hope for your sake baby didn't inherit his intelligence genes. LOL

i have red hair and green eyes. i had blonde hair and blue eyes for the first year i was alive. its actually not that rare. and **** everyone else saying you should be married. i had my son out of wedlock and his mom ****** off and left, hes still the best thing thats ever happened to me. being married doesnt mean someone wont leave you. he probably just wanted the excuse to leave you. and you dont deserve this at all.
