A mother has been left shocked after her mother-in-law accused her of cheating on her husband just because their daughter was born with blue eyes.
The woman took to Reddit and explained that she and her partner both have hazel-green eyes but her dad has blue eyes.
So when their daughter was born with blue eyes, her mother-in-law demanded to speak to her son ‘alone’ to inform him about his wife’s ‘affair.’
“My mother-in-law has been pestering my husband to come over to speak to her alone,” she wrote.
“He has resisted this because the last time she wanted to speak to him alone, it was to try and arrange a schedule for me to go see them weekly while my husband was at work.
“When he refused to schedule my time for me, she ordered him to bring the kids over and drop them off while he was at work one day a week. He declined to do this also. She refuses to text me directly because I just tell her no. We see them once a month for a couple of hours.”
She continued: “Anyways, he finally got it out of her why he needs to come over alone. It’s because our daughter has blue eyes. My husband and I both have hazel/mostly green eyes.
“My dad has blue eyes so I carry the gene but apparently, no one in her family has blue eyes so I must have cheated.”
Her mother-in-law also demanded a paternity test be carried out to prove who the father is.
“Naturally, instead of doing some research and finding that two green-eyed parents can, in fact, have a blue-eyed baby or that a baby’s eyes can change after several years (babe isn’t even a year yet), my mother-in-law has ordered a paternity test kit for my husband. What a lovely person she is.”
People on Reddit were also baffled by her situation, with one person writing: “She’s an idiot. I have green eyes and my husband has hazel. Our son has the darkest brown eyes ever from my side of the family. I’m sorry you have to deal with this stupid bulls**t.”
Another said: “Your mother-in-law is delusional. Though it sounds like she’s latching on to any imagined excuse she can find to get her baby boy back.”
A third added: “”She is definitely ignorant and probably lives to cause dissension. I would suspend the once-monthly visits indefinitely. A paternity test?!! Ridiculous!”
