Mom Does DNA Test on Son's 2 Kids behind His Wife's Back, Calls Him Privately to Share Results

• A woman opened up about her rocky relationship with her mother-in-law, who didn't like her.
• After she gave birth to her second baby, her in-laws came over and asked her husband to take a DNA test.
• Soon, they called him and said they had taken a DNA test, which showed their youngest grandchild was barely related to them. It turned out that they had secretly done a DNA test to prove the woman had slept with someone else.

A mother-of-two with the username "PressureEmergency250" shared her story in Reddit's "AITAH" forum to tell people about her rocky relationship with her mother-in-law. Before jumping to the main story, she recalled a bit about the time she married her husband.

The woman shared that she tied the knot with her husband in a courthouse because his family didn't like her. According to the woman, her husband's family was judgemental and mistreated her because she came from a different family background.

When the woman conceived her second baby, she wasn't on good terms with her husband because of many problems. She said one of the reasons their relationship had deteriorated was her mother-in-law. She recalled being "almost divorced" at that time.

However, the couple decided to work on their marriage instead of parting ways, which turned out to be a good decision. According to the woman, her relationship with her husband significantly improved after it.

Meanwhile, her relationship with her mother-in-law also improved. "I'd like to say I'm a really forgiving person and try to see the best in everyone. Also, it was making my husband happy," she said.

Her mother-in-law also stayed with her after she gave birth to her baby. However, their relationship soon took a different turn and deteriorated to the point that the woman did not want her mother-in-law to interact with her children.

What Happened After the Woman Gave Birth?

A month after her baby's birth, the woman's in-laws decided to visit her because her father-in-law hadn't seen her baby yet. She thought everything during their visit went well until she heard her in-laws talking to her husband outside the house.

Her father-in-law said he wanted to swab her husband's mouth for a DNA test to ensure the baby was his. Upon hearing that, the woman's husband began arguing with his father, attracting his mother's attention.

"My MIL ran outside because she heard them fighting and told my husband it was nothing like that, that everyone in the family was swabbing their mouths because they were doing a 23andMe," the Redditor explained.

Despite his parents' insistence, the man refused to do a DNA test, and they soon left the house. It wasn't until a month later that the topic of DNA tests returned to the woman's home. This time, it was something that damaged her relationship with her in-laws.

What Happened a Month After the Woman's In-Laws Visited Her?

A month after her in-laws' visit, the woman's mother-in-law called her husband and told him she needed to talk. As a result, the man left the house to speak to his mother and returned an hour later.

"He pulled me to my room privately and informed me that my MIL and FIL had swabbed both my newborn's mouth and my toddler's mouth when they had visited," the woman recalled in her post. She added:

"They said that my toddler came back 99.99% related to them, but my newborn only came back 11% related to them."

The woman felt furious upon learning that her in-laws wanted her husband to take a DNA test to check whether the newborn was his. She admitted their relationship was on the verge of ending when she conceived, but she had never slept with another man. She said:

"I didn't understand why she felt the need to take a DNA test into her own hands, especially since it wasn't a concern of my husband."

After that day, the man's husband continuously argued with his mother, and the Redditor said she no longer trusted her mother-in-law. As a result, she didn't allow the older woman to interact with her kids.

Soon, the couple decided to test her newborn's DNA to show the woman's mother-in-law that the child was not someone else's. "Of course, the test came back 99.999999999% my husband's, and she thought we could just pretend it didn't happen, but the damage was done," the woman said.

After that day, the woman didn't allow her in-laws to video call or mingle with her kids. Meanwhile, the couple decided to redo their wedding with their families by their side.

However, the woman said she didn't want to invite her in-laws because of everything that had happened. She said her husband was upset about it, but he agreed.

She shared her story on Reddit to ask other users if she was at fault for not inviting her in-laws. Many people responded to her post in the comments section.
