Weird Wide Web - Mom tattoos one of her twin babies | News Article

The woman took to Reddit to ask users whether she was in the wrong for tattooing one of her little boys so that she could tell them apart after her mother-in-law made a mistake.

The 31-year-old mum had her two little boys Adam and Jack after five years of trying for children.

But because Jack was born with a condition that requires him to be injected once a week, she decided to get him tattooed so she could administer the medication to the right baby, reports Daily Star.

Explaining what forced her to make this decision, she said that when she went back to work, her mother-in-law offered to babysit, but during that time she accidentally injected Adam instead of Jack.

"She gave the shot to the wrong kid," she said.



Now they may be fraternal but they look identical. I'll be honest my husband and I even mix them up sometimes. Everyone does.

"He was never in danger. It’s a very slow-acting medication that, at worst, would have given him diarrhoea in a few days. Mother-in-law was beside herself.

"I tried to ease her worry but she refused to babysit so to daycare they went."

She added: "I finally pointed it out and she went 'That's just a freckle' I just said... 'My point exactly. Adam doesn't have a freckle there.. So that's how daycare can tell them apart.'
