is it possible?

[chanel1983]

I have hazel eyes and my fiance has blue eyes but our son has brown eyes. My partners mum has brown eyes but brown eyes are 2 generations back in my family? why has our son got brown eyes?

Does your milkman have brown eyes by any chance? :-)

As far as I can remember from biology, the brown gene is the dominant one, so if there are more instances of brown/hazel then chances are your childrens eyes will also be brown.

i dont have a milkman andif that was the answer iwould have no need 2 ask. I have stayed faitful for the 5 years we have been together!

My apologies, I was only joking.
It's perfectly natural for your son to have diffeent coloured eyes from you and your partner.

mabe he was swapped at birth??

sorry, just joking, yes it is possible, blue is a resessive gene. Brown is the most common and hazel is a mixture of blue and brown i think.

So your children have a very high chance of being brown eyed.

am just trying to find an eye colour calculator which may help you

Okay...............put his mind at rest, then...............

you r a cheeky monkey square bar. joking aside i did think heisnt mine as ihave never bonded with him. iam female

[redcrx]

all jokes aside, if you feel that you havnt 'bonded' and are possibly questioning his eye colour because of how you feel then can i suggest you have a word with your health visitor about how you are feeling

[chanel1983]

thank u redcrx i did have postnatal depression when he was born i thought iwas overr it but i looked at the sitr you suggested and it gave me some answers and i need to stop questioning his eye colour and get me some help i think. but at least i have answered my question about his eye colour maybe im looking for an excuse for the way i feel 2wards him?????? who knows what really goes on inside womans heads !!!! LOL

monkeyeyes : my fiance has never questioned our son eye colour it has always been me!
