There is a hilarious Dick VanDyke episode. Flashing back to when they brought Richie home from the hospital.
Rob is convinced that the hospital switched babies. The mothers gave birth on the same day, had similar room numbers and last names.
Turned out the other parents dropped by to exchange miss-delivered items, and they were... black.
My mother always swore my son was not mine. It became the family joke.
“loving and loved spouses/parent/shackups don’t seek dna testing because they feel sure in their love..”
Unfortunately these days they may be “sure” about something that is just not true.
That benefits the woman who cheated. DNA testing is protection for the claimed “father”.
Since you’re a woman, you know the child is yours with great certainty, unless the hospital switched children on you in the maternity ward.
For the man, if it isn’t his child, his lineage ends. I don’t think you understand what that means to a man to have his lineage end because his wife didn’t love him enough to be faithful. It’s one thing if the man agrees to adopt knowingly and to pass on his heritage through that adoption. It’s another thing when the rug is pulled out from him.
Only the woman wins in that scenario, because the men are considered expendable under the law and their value is nothing more than as wallets.
Mommy’s baby, Daddy’s maybe.
I remember that one, lol!
