Man Insists Gay Co-Worker Take Paternity Test After His Wife Gives Birth
Robert's co-worker further explained that he was asked to take a paternity test to prove he wasn't the father of Robert and Danielle's daughter, Chelsea.
Posting in Reddit's "True Off My Chest" forum under the username u/McGhostShadow, the post has garnered more than 14,000 upvotes and over 1,600 comments from Redditors, many of whom called Robert an "idiot.""I don't know whether to laugh or cry over this entire situation that's unfolded in the past six weeks," the co-worker began. "Robert just had his first daughter Chelsea after four boys.
The boys are dang near carbon copies of him; bleach-blond straight hair, freckle-less skin, and I swear to god they were just born with tans."Chelsea, on the other hand, looks like Danielle, "a tightly curled redhead with freckles for days, and burns like there's no tomorrow.""When I got to meet [Chelsea]...I (a fellow redhead myself here with long curly red hair) gasped and said something along the lines of, 'Omg it finally happened!
The red is alive!'" the co-worker exclaimed.Robert insisted his genes would kick in, the man said, but they never did. Chelsea, now two-months-old, still has red hair."For three weeks...Robert would [complain] about how little of himself he sees in his daughter, how much of a 'stranger' she is...that somedays he thinks he's looking at another person's baby," the co-worker said. "After the fifth day in a row, I started trying to explain how genetics work."According to Insider, a baby needs "two copies of the red hair gene (a mutation of the MC1R gene)" in order to be a redhead, stating that the gene is "recessive.""This means if neither parent is ginger, they both need to carry the gene and pass it on—and even then they will have just a 25 percent chance.
