Miscellaneous: Today, I noticed my nephew has blue eyes, freckles and dimples...

Today, I noticed my nephew has blue eyes, freckles and dimples which don't run in my family or my sister's husband's family, but they do run in my husband's family. FML

Today, I ran into a friend that I hadn't seen in about 5 years. She had her 4-year-old son with her. I couldn’t help but notice her son looked almost identical to mine. He even had a very distinct facial feature that my husband has as well. What are the odds all three of them have the same defect? FML

Today, I sent a picture of my two little nephews to my friends, who now keep telling me how my older nephew looks exactly like me. They’re starting to make awkward statements such as, “Are you sure you didn’t have sex with your sister in-law?” FML

Today, as I was perusing old photos with my mother, I found one of her with a "childhood friend" at her wedding to my dad. Now I know where my green eyes and blotchy neck birthmark came from, and it's not from the man I’ve been calling "dad" for 40 years. FML

Paternity test before the rest

Today, after always laughing when my mom told me to avoid dating any guy with green eyes and thinking it was some weird prejudice, she told me the truth. My father cheated and had at least six other kids. They all have green eyes and look alike. FML

The family tree is a stump

Today, my family is too damn close. My uncle on my dad's side just got my aunt on my mum's side pregnant, three cousins from dad's side are dating three cousins from mum's side, and a half brother from my dad is marrying my half sister from my mum. We are the inbred rednecks of this town. FML

Today, I was complimented on my freckles. I don't actually have freckles, just a load of blackheads that won't go away. FML

Foiled by genetics

Today, I was chatting with my optician and it came up that eye colour is determined by parents eye colour, such as how blue and brown-eyed parents can’t make a green-eyed baby. My wife and I are blue and brown. Our 6 year-old has green eyes. I confronted her and she admitted she'd had an affair. FML

Run a DNA test on both. Then kick ass if your poor sweet nephew is your stepson.

As so many people already said, blue eyes, freckles and dimples are recessive traits. They'll just pop up every few generations, after everyone else having brown, green, hazel or gray eyes, no freckles, and no dimples. I wouldn't worry too much.

Blue eyes, freckles, and dimples could just be recessive traits in either your family or your brother-in-law's family. While this explanation is not guaranteed, it is a possibility, and the only way to be sure is a paternity test though. All I'm saying is don't count your illegitimate children before they're hatched.

That doesn't necessarily mean anything... If you're really paranoid about it though, then yeah do what one of the first few comments said and get a test.

It's called recessive genes. Stop being stupid and paranoid.

Idk who I'd be more pissed at: her or him. Run DNA before doing anything rash, but if your suspicion is correct, kick the crap out of both of them and drag his sorry ass through divorce court. Make it painful.
