She says weird comments about our baby not looking like him a lot. Everyone else says he does and I think he does. I get along with her really well some days she says he looks like him and some days she says he doesn't almost accusingly it is weird. The boy is his or he is some kind of miracle. Anyone else had this kind of thing happen to them?

he has brown eyes and we both have green eyes but she has brown eyes
 
Ummm, maybe your MIL is just a bitch? I have a MIL like that. Don't worry about what she has to say, even if your son doesn't look like his father it doesn't mean anything, my son doesn't look anything like me but i know i for sure i pushed him into this world!

I doubt theres much you can do about it though, Unless you want to tell her to butt out or cut the comments.
 
Tell her you're offended when she says things like that and ask her if she is suggesting something. If she continues, let your husband handle the situation. He should be offended about it too. I would be pissed
 
When I had my son my mother in law used to say he didn't look his father but that he did look like his uncle, being mu husbands brother.

I think some women just don't like letting go of their little boys no matter how old they are and that they get enjoyment from trying to make trouble with their wives/ partners.

Just ignore her , point out the fact that she is the only one that thinks this and mention the little things about him that remind him of your husband.

If he doesn't abre a lot of resemblence to you , you could also point that out to her and remind her that he def is yours because she can't dispute that fact,
 
omg! My ex mother in law use to say the same thing about my son...But 9 years later my poor son look just like him and the slut has nothing to say but wow they look so alike .. that
!@#$%^&*
 
My husband and first son and I all have brown hair and eyes. My husband and son look identical, and they're both big guys. Our second son is skinny and long, with blonde hair and blue eyes. He looks like my husband's uncle and cousins, but nothing like my husband or I. My father in law keeps making comments about the mailman, the milkman, something about a wood pile, did I make any recent friends, did my husband lose track of me one night, etc... It gets really annoying, but since my husband just brushes it off, so do I. I mentioned to my husband how he had said it when our son wasn't even an hour old, and how hurtful it was. My husband plainly told me not to justify it with a response, and my father in law will wind up feeling foolish. The comments have started to annoy the whole family now, so anytime he says anything, no one laughs, everyone just kind of ignores it until the subject is changed.
 
First off ignore her! Second he is your son too so he could likely look like your family more then his! After all they say that boys favor the moms looks and girls favor dads looks! Most likely that is just a wise tail but it comes down to genetics and who he got more from! It doesn't men he isn't his son! The brown eye thing is normal becasue its a recessive jean that someone on your side or his had! Most likely if you look back a generation or two someone had brown eyes! My son has brown eyes and I have green and his dad had blue eyes! We ad a paternity test done for child support reasons and he is 100% his son! It just shows you that genetics are something we may never fully understand! Don't worry over this becasue i bet he is absolutely handsome with those big brown eyes! I know my son is and I wouldn't change him at all!
 
I wouldn't worry about it. Do what another commenter suggested and tell her you find her comments hurtful and offensive. Only you know who the father is, if her son is the father then you have nothing to worry about. Don't let her get to you....if she brings up the topic you can always just walk away, stop talking, change the subject.

As far as the baby not looking like your hubby...my daughter didn't really look like me either when she was first born. The older she got, the more her personality developed and the more she grew she started looking like the both of us.

Good luck
 
Evil woman!!! When my best friend had her son her MIL kept saying he looked like her sons' best mate (my partner). Good job we know each other so well or it could have caused problems!
If it bothers you I would say something.
