Free. All free to him. He said, “no”. He didn’t want them. I want a dna test more than ever now, and I’m the parent that birthed my son.
You want a DNA test because your kid doesn’t share the same interests in video games that you do? Sure, there’s likely a set of genes somewhat contributing to preferences and interests in humans, but even if we knew them, we’ve already got plenty of evidence that biological children frequently have different hobbies than their parents, so we know things like that are most heavily determined by all of the other things people are influenced by in life, outside of genetics.
No, that would be a light-hearted joke at which we could laugh. I want dna for another reason, but discussing it offends people on Lemmy. A reoccurring set of usernames appear in the comments to harass and threaten me when I discuss it.

In that case, I suggest the block feature. I use it liberally, and it makes Lemmy so much better.
I blocked lemming6969, and the. He replied to my comment, immediately after that. Blocking doesn’t seem to work.
Well, the Ancestry test only really gives stuff like… ancestry. It’s not useful for much else, and for good reason - it’s meant to be a neat novelty, not a medical or paternity test. I’m a former genetic counselor, and we generally don’t suggest getting DNA tests for children unless it’s important for health reasons, or if they’re old enough to give their own consent for it - that sort of information is very personal, and often people don’t want it to be available in their health records.
If you are simply wondering about ancestry, you could always get the test yourself - anything the test shows for you would at least give that side of the kids’ ancestry. Obviously parenthood verification can be useful, but from your other comments you seem to be aware that a mother doesn’t need such a verification, and it’s generally not recommended that you use ancestry tests for that purpose anyway. If you’re concerned about any genetic issues in your family, I’d highly recommend talking to a genetic counselor; they can help organize the family history and see if there’s anything you’ll want to be cognizant of.
Hey, if ancestry test kits are no big deal then why do people like you keep discouraging them? Why not start there, and then take it to a doctor? If nothing looks alarming, then why have a doctor look into it. I am so sick of men banding together to hide the rape; banding together to discourage women from having any type of home dna tests conducted. I already know that I don’t have any genetic predispositions that should be of concern. I want to link my son to my family tree and have his dad explain why it also links to him, too.
I’m not discouraging at home novelty tests like ancestry and 23andme, I’m discouraging their use in the situation you’ve described, because that’s not what they’re intended for. I’m very sorry for your situation, and I hope that you find the information that you’re looking for, but you’re more likely to find it with actual paternity tests than trying to glean information from a test that’s not meant for that.
As for the medical comments, ancestry isn’t meant to provide that. It’s not actually sequencing the DNA, it’s just checking for specific sections of DNA that are known to vary between different ethnicities. Some health information can be assessed in that way, but its inclusion in at-home tests was made illegal because those sorts of results need to be handled with a genetics professional so that they can explain the complex results and their impact on the individual and their family. Some at-home tests have added medical information back in, but that’s legally dubious, and considered to be dangerous by genetics professionals.
If there are any medical concerns, a different DNA test should be used, and should be ordered by a genetic counselor or geneticist. Situations like these are one of the reasons why genetic counselors exist - please don’t believe that adding a medical professional to the mix is a bad thing - genetics is a very complex topic, and having someone trained to understand and explain it is invaluable. Please let them help you in your endeavor.
Ok read everything, this is top tier trolling. Good luck with the Wii
If anyone recalls, OP also posted a picture of their garbage can complaining about how garbage bags were somehow improperly manufactured. I want to believe this is a troll account, but I’m concerned that OP is someone who legitimately needs some help, and not the kind you get from message boards. This is the same OP whose response to jokes was to say their ASVAB scores were high.
I came into this post thinking it was gonna be a silly “kids these days” post, and ended up having OP tell us she’s concerned the children she birthed are not hers somehow. It am not a psychologist in the slightest, but I can’t help but think there is something just not right.
This guy has been stalking my account since he berated me over garbage bags. I simply posted that bags should have an elastic band around the top of them and it apparently upset him. I think he follows my account for other reasons. If his IP address is based out of California I’d like to file a restraining order against him.
Check your local safe-haven laws. You can drop off teens in some areas.
His grandmother has ruined his life and has robbed me of motherhood for nearly the past seven years. This is the final straw. All I want is dna on my kids to be added to ancestry.com after being kept from them for so long. I get that she didn’t want me to try to join the Army. She didn’t need to cut me out of my children’s lives. Now I have a Nintendo Wii thrown back at me today. If she isn’t happy with how I am now as an adult, how is her child rearing going to change to prevent that with my two kids? I wouldn’t be surprised if someone swapped my kids under her senile supervision in these past years. I seriously want dna kits taken on everyone in the family. If the kits don’t match to me, I’m suing.
You gotta slow waay down with your kids. Remember, their brains are still developing all the pathways they will use in life, but it takes time. If you’ve only recently been allowed with them, they are not going to understand any nuance of the situation immediately. They will in time and probably gladly accept anything you offer one day.
Sorry, I’m just here to make bad taste jokes and comment on cat pictures. I don’t know the first thing about parenting.
I hope your kitties are doing well tho.
Instead of ancestry you should go to an actual doctor that does genetics. Even on Ancestry it states that it’s for entertainment purposes and can’t really be certain of lineage or medical conditions. They also sell data so there’s that.
It’s cheap and managed to match my aunt to the tree. Works for me.
You are both not entirely stable and not a fully functional adult, as you claim. Please get help.
Yes, I am. You don’t know me well enough to judge my mental capabilities and my ability to parent. I actually put this Wii away for about eight years to focus on my college education. I currently have earned a master’s degree in addition to bachelor’s degree in a STEM field. I also am certified to work with children in an educational setting. My fingerprints also clear with DOJ each year so I can continue to do that. That takes maturity. Attacking an internet stranger like you have done doesn’t take much maturity or education.
Also, if you think you’re a better adult than anyone else on Lemmy, then answer this: When was the last time you gave blood? Did you even try to register as a bone marrow donor? Have you tried to enlist to serve your country? When was the last time you volunteered for an organization that works for the greater good? Have you ever had to file a CPS report for a child that told you he, or she, was being abused? Hey, beat me on this one: Have you adopted or fostered a child? I have yet to do that one.
Omg yes, you’re almost there 9/10, one of the best copy pasta contenders I’ve seen on Lemmy! Unhinged response, off topic statements, multiple paragraphs in length, claiming to be highly educated, and idk what the DOJ has to do with any of this but they like your fingers hell yeah! Just take away a bit of punctuation for that sweet run-on sentence feel and I’d give you a 10/10 but I’m still so proud of you 🫂
Your sarcasm doesn’t make you seem educated. I doubt you even know what copy pasta is. You’re the one unhinged. My comments don’t overuse exclamation marks, like a person who can’t control their emotions, while pairing it with angry sarcasm. If you act this way towards a stranger, I pity the people that are forced to tolerate you outside of the internet. I hope you seek professional help. Nothing I have posted or commented ever attacked you, or had anything to do with you. You’re just looking for a fight. I’m not.
Please keep it coming the ranting brings me joy ❤️
I would say that our assessment of your stability comes from you dumping a bunch of baggage on internet strangers in a double checks - yep mildly interesting comm post. Seems like you’ve gone though a lot of shit in your life, and idk maybe you’re not neurotypical, but you need to slow the confession time down. All I came in this post with was the “mildly interesting” fact that your kid refused your wii. I thought the DNA comment in the body of the post was a joke. Now I’m waist deep in a telanovela that I did not tune in to. Use some discretion, or tell the whole story but maybe not here.
If you’re into censorship or novellas. Check out China, or Mexico. You seem to be accustomed to those sorts of things. I’m white (non-Chinese and non-Latina to make my point here). I don’t think we share the same culture where women are expected to be silent for strange men who demand it. Try moving to the Middle East, if that’s the culture you prefer. Lemmy allows free speech. I shared a post, and if you can’t handle it, advert your eyes from it. You have the freedom to censor what you view. Have you considered the v-chip for your TV, too?
I guess the real question is, why are you dumping all this in the mildlyinteresting sub? You’re lashing out at everyone who thought your post was a lot less dramatic than it is. We all see a post like this, and it sounds like it’s just a silly post about your kid having no interest in your wii. People make harmless jokes under the impression you were posting something harmless, and you go apeshit about it. This drama shit doesn’t belong here. Take it elsewhere.
I’ll just say this…remember the username for later. She’s been around for awhile posting a ton of (perhaps fictional) personal information, though I think most of the posts were deleted.
tf did that come from?
China and Mexico are better for Novellas?
Least deranged US “I served my country” and “freeze peach” racist psycho.
I’m not racist, but way to throw that out there for some upvotes. Lemmy loves to attack people that have been called racist, even when they aren’t. A lot of people on here have some kind of super hero complex where everyone is evil and bad, except them. My comment didn’t warrant an unhinged attack by you, though. Let me explain, China censors the internet. Mexico loves novellas. I can offer you neither of those things.
And your posts continue to convince me that you’re unstable. I’m not sure if you know, but this is a light-hearted community and you’re up in here fighting people. It’s weird, and if you don’t believe me then check the downvotes. I’m not trying to be confrontational, I’m trying to clue you in to what’s going on.
Did he give you a reason why?
No. Why did you attach a link about Creative Commons and copyright laws?
Why did you attach a link about Creative Commons and copyright laws?
Oh, no particular reason at all. Just seemed like a fun thing to do.
🤷😋😇
All kidding aside, that’s something of a loaded question.
Instead of a repeating myself, yet again, let me just point you to this topic…
https://lemmy.world/comment/9850401
Just click on the “View all Comments” link, to go to the top of the topic. It’s a full discussion.
If you want something more recent (like yesterday recent), then I’d point you to this topic…
https://lemmy.world/comment/10144269
Otherwise, you can look through the last threeish weeks of my posting comment history, and you’ll see the same subject come up multiple times, and be discussed.
You and OP are two peas in a pod.
Is this the lemmy equivalent of “I don’t allow Facebook to sell my photos they’re all property of me”?
Exactly
Yup…people are really foolish if they think this will keep their comments untouched.
The same reason people copy-paste a couple paragraphs about not accepting certain terms and conditions on Facebook thinking that it’s some legally binding contract they’re posting. In this case, the user is saying that LLMs are not allowed to train on their data and it will likely be on all their comments.
They should just paste this guy into every comment instead:

Any time I mention wanting dna on my son, I get attacked by a group of men who stalk my account. They always try to have my posts about my son removed. My son’s dad is a rapist and all of his friends have his back, apparently. Even if it means wasting their precious time on the internet to stalk and harass me.
Your comments are very concerning and aggressive to strangers on the internet. Then you overshare and very defensive.
Not sure if you are working on it but the internet may not be for you if you have to trauma dump on everyone.
You sound super passive aggressive about a kid not wanting an ancient console with terrible games. Then you expect them to be happy with a gift he didn’t want.
The stuff about your mom and being in the military makes it seem like you need to go to a therapist even more. Especially if your son’s dad messed with you and you are going through a harassment campaign online which would be weird if they found you on lemmy
Your problems shouldn’t be dumped on your son. This is coming from a son of a single mom who constantly trauma dumped on by his mother.
A Crash spin-off and Skate It? Sorry pops, I’d say “no”, too.
If you’d have thrown in some Wii Sports, on the other hand…
He could buy new games if he hates mine. I’m the mom, not “pops” as you suggested. I know Lemmy hates straight tomboy types, so I won’t entertain anymore of your comments that follow this comment of mine.
This is oddly hostile communication and adds color to the situation with the Wii
Playing video games doesn’t make you a tomboy 🤷🏻
Really? You should tell that to the members of the community in which I was raised. They had a different definition.
Oh did they, now? Curious.
I was making a joke, but this was a really weird response.
This is about way more than a Wii. Sorry you’re having a hard time with your kids. Try and talk to them and do what they like. Eventually when they’re older they will appreciate you trying to be part of their lives and what you’ve tried to do here.
Haha. Same. I gave my PS4 pro and it’s library to my nephew. It’s been in the box since, never opened.
A PS4 pro? Are kids just intimidated by the console systems themselves, or do they truly think the games are going to be boring? That’s quite a gift. I’m sorry your nephew didn’t want it.
