An anonymous woman shared on Reddit about her 2-month-old daughter's beautiful blue eyes. Because no one in both the paternal and maternal families had this eye color, the mother-in-law suspected her daughter-in-law of having an affair.
She asked her son and his wife to take him for a DNA test. To exonerate herself, the woman, her husband, children and samples of her husband's parents went to a DNA testing and analysis center for paternity. As a result, her daughter and her husband are biological father and daughter.
The couple felt very uneasy about their daughter having a different eye color than them.
The doctor explained that eye color inheritance is a lot more complicated than we think, but in general it's more likely for brown-eyed parents to have a blue-eyed baby than for blue-eyed parents to have a brown-eyed baby. According to the doctor, the girl's blue eyes are due to genetic factors from previous generations that have only now had the opportunity to "explode".
At this time, the couple received another surprising news: the husband and father were not related by blood. They did not expect that this test would accidentally reveal the secret of their mother-in-law's affair when she was young. It turned out that her husband's biological father was another man, which is why the child had blue eyes.
After hearing the news, the husband was extremely angry. The wife sided with her husband but still advised him to calmly think. The couple agreed that they did not want their family's life to be disturbed, so they would keep this incident a secret from their father-in-law.
