With German, I can always help out
Let me quote myself, this is what I wrote in S3E6:
1) Kehrseite (reverse, flip side) – Wesen: 50% chance the Baby will be Wesen
2) Kehrseite-Genträger (genetic carrier) – Wesen: 100% chance the Baby will be Wesen
And I think you are a Kehrseite-Genträger when you are the Baby in 1) who’s Kehrseite.
3) Wesen A – Wesen B, Grundverschiedene (entirely different) situation: it depends on the Vorherrscher (the one who dominates, prevails)
It is nice to have input from a German speaker, so thanks.
I'm curious, do "Grundverschiedene" or "Vorherrscher" have direct English translations?
Or are they merely terms invented for the show?
Would love to learn more if you have the time and inclination to share.

Way back in S2 Monroe and Rosalee mentioned that some children of mixed wesen marriages can be dangerous. I don't know if the writers decided to just drop that or not.
If true, it would unfortunately give some credence to the Wesenrein beliefs, in that these children could be dangerous to their own kind.
But, I think they did just drop it. Never been mentioned again.

Do you know which episode in season 2 it was?
I rewatched the season 3 episode where they discussed children, but they didn't say much about the kind of children they would have together. It seemed as though they were being purposefully vague.
If it really was as simply as the one with dominant genes determining the child's wesen type, you think they'd simply state that.
I do remember the one episode in which the mother had intentionally altered her son's DNA in order to make him stronger. The end result of which was him blacking out whenever the Lowen part of him took over and decided to kill anyone who he saw as a threat.
Certainly hope Monroe and Rosalee's kids would not have to deal with anything like that.
