For feeling bemused and pissed off at the same time regarding a question my MIL asked me?

I have two children. Both favour me more than their Father. DS is dark like me (hair/eyes) but with pale skin like DH.

DD has fairer hair (like I had as a child) and has brown hair and very olive skin. She does take after my side of the family, but my skin is not that dark.

MIL turns to me and says 'So who DOES she (DD) look like then, because she looks nothing like xxxxx (DH)?' with a wry smirk on her face.

I wasn't sure where she was coming from at first, but then it dawned on me that she was insinuating that DH might not be the Father. I'm gobsmacked. We've been together six years and are besotted with each other.

Am I reading too much into this...she wasn't really interested in the answer I gave (i,e - she looks like I did as a child, and favours my Father for colouring.)

I get the same thing! My Daughter is a red head and everyone comments on it! Yes, it's a lovely colour but she'll probably hate when she's older! I'm blonde and hunny is browny, I get sick also of explaining that it came from my Grandad who was a red head, blah blah blah! Hubby reckons she's the milkmans child! lol.
