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.

If the nephew has blue eyes and frecles then regadless of the father it has to run in your family. (Or the kid is adopted or sth.)

Coincidence? I think not!

OP, you are being paranoid and need to go back to high school Biology and relearn dominant/recessive traits and punnett squares. It could very well be that both parents have a dominant/recessive code for those traits so it didn't show up in their features yet the child got the recessive half from each parents resulting in recessive features. If they didn't run in your family either, your sister would not be the mother.

Probably a very long recessive gene. If your husband did cheat on you what a jerk.

Don't jump to conclusions...both of my parents have blonde hair and blue eyes and I came out with red hair, freckles and green eyes. Chances are it's not what you think.
