Are you sure you are your kid's father?

[Lawrence Ng]

Interesting article..

1 in 25 dads are NOT (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/4137506.stm)

So just wondering how many of you new dads out there within the last decade truly think whether or not you are the biological father of your child (children).

Are you willing to find out even if it would totally offend your wife, lead to mental craziness, divorce, and effect the child's future in a way you could never have hoped?

Interesting indeed...

That's not a better question.

That is a different question.

Nice job hijacking the thread on the second post though.


Married with no kids (yet), BTW.

Hopefully I will be able to take credit for them when the time comes /images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Wow, you are the first poster ever to make a retort at how I [censored] around with women. Would you like a cookie?

I think there should be a law that for every birth their must be a dna test. Mandatory.

What good is a DNA test if you don't even know who to compare the DNA to (a lot of women who're in the position where they're not sure who the father is, couldn't even venture to guess)?

[astroglide]

i'm sure a lot of kids that were brought up well that would have been raised by a single parent if the cheating was forcibly disclosed would want to disagree. i don't think it's an OBGYN's job to get involved here, they're paid to deliver the babies not screw up their birthdays. not that i have cheated or condone it.

my gf works in bioinformatics/generics and told me a long time ago about this. it's so common they plan for the effect in studies.

I am talking about comparing it to the potential father. The guy that is supposed to sign the birth certificate thats in the relationship.

Of course they do; they have the right to get a paternity test. That doesn't mean that the State needs to mandate it, because I'm sure that many of the cases where the father is not the biological father, he wouldn't want to know anyway, but if he does want to, he has the right to.

Yeah, I just mean a guy has a right to know, sure its may be sad for the kid but its not the guys fault the kids birthday is screwed up its the womens. I would hope all guys would want to know if they are raising the "milkman" or their "best friends" baby. Then again ignorance is bliss...

Heck, one-sided paternity tests are cheap online. If in doubt, spend the $200. Get the little swabs, and mail them off.

I used to work in heamatology, and the diagnostics lab used to have fun with this problem.

The mother/father to-be would come in for thalassemia/sickle cell screening. Of course, it transpires that the father is not the father. This not only meens the screening process is difficult, but is also a politically charged situation. They would have to try and get the woman alone and explain the situation -- you can't intefere in their lives, you just have to do the job at hand.

There was one woman who kept turning up at all the different haematology units in london with different "fathers". She was too embarrassed to keep coming back to the same place with a string of men.

That is funny. Both of my sons are exactly the same. No one would ever doubt that they are mine, they don't look that much like their mother though.

I was in the room both times. I actually took photos the second time. /images/graemlins/blush.gif And no, I'm not posting them.

[RunDownHouse]

If you're saying you're the father because you were in the room when she delivered, then I think maybe you need a talk about where babies come from.

If you're saying you're the father because you were in the room when she became pregnant, then I think maybe you need a talk about how good women are at choosing the (biological) father of their children and choosing the (resources) father of their children. They're different people far more often than you'd imagine.

[CCass]

I am positive all 3 of my children are mine. Not only do they pass the "nature test" (they look like me), I can identify the time and date that 2 of them were conceived.

I have no reason nor the desire to have a paternity test.

2 out of 3 ain't bad.

[NobodysFreak]

My parents divorced when I was a kid so I didn't really see my father all that much. When I was a kid growing up (I guess I still am... I'm 22) whenever I'd [censored]-up my dad would threaten me with a DNA test... interesting

[Dantes]

well if you have sex once every three months its probably not that hard to figure it out.

Hey hey man, my ex may have been a bivh but she was no slut. /images/graemlins/mad.gif

Yes, I was also in the room when the boys made it upstream...

I was responding with the impression that part of the problem is babies being switched in the hospital...

Not really, just unusual events that happened at the time of conception.

Example #1 - We took a vacation when our oldest was 10 months old (baby stayed at grandma's). Our 2nd child was born 9 months later.

Example #2 - We attend a football game between UT and Auburn, and get pretty freaky afterwards (again both little ones were at the grandparents).

"Whore" would most likely be a better pejorative in such cases of cuckoldry, since she was using you for specific material gains (the impersonal "you," since I don't actually know anything about you or your wife).
