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

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

Maybe you're over reacting? Sorry :(

Do you understand how serious of a crime it would be to take a DNA TEST FROM A CHILD without parental consent.

He could just have traits from someone in either family from very very far back. Without a DNA test, don't flip out

that's a horrible thing to think about your own husband! expecting something that awful with that little "evidence" is just way too paranoid, I feel sorry for your husband having such a unloving and overdramatic wife!

If neither of your parents have blue eyes, it is impossible to have a child with blue eyes. As far as freckles and dimples, those are recessive and may or may not have skipped a few generations. Buy just in case, double check with a DNA test. Don't sweat it til you have all the proof.

Errr, blue eyes is also a recessive gene. So it's entirely possible for neither parent to have blue eyes but for their child to have them. Like freckles and dimples, it could easily have skipped a generation or two. OP, don't worry too much until you have all the facts. Or until the kid grows up to look like your husband.

Only thing that can reveal the truth is a DNA test ;)

I'm the only one with hazel eyes in my family...... ._. Genes can skip too, OP. Don't be so quick to lead to suspicions!

Not in this case. Get your DNA checked. Seriously. If someone has green/blue eyes, it means they own absolutely no brown/hazel-eyes gene, 0. So if BOTH parents have blue/green eyes, then the baby will NEVER have hazel eyes. It is impossible. "Genes can skip" does not work in this case. I am very sorry.

Well, from what I know, both my grandparents had brown eyes.... So, I guess I'm safe? :D

No. 2 hazel-eyed people can have a blue-eyed kid. But two blue-eyed people can't have a hazel-eyed kid. Search on Google: "Blue Eyes -- A Clue To Paternity" ScienceDaily And read carefully.
