What are the possibilities of offspring blood grouping with a father being A neg & myself being AB positive.

Purely a curiosity thing for my 10yr old son & 12 yr old daughter who really dont want a blood test or anything more than a guideline to an answer.

If your husband is A neg phenotypically, then genotypically he is either AO or AA either with a homozygous negative Rh factor. So you are AB positive.

Your children would then:

have 50% chance of being AA if your husband is AA.
have 50% chance of being AB if your husband is AA.
have 25% chance of being AA if your husband is AO.
have 25% chance of being AO if your husband is AO.
have 25% chance of being BO if your husband is AO.
have 25% chance of being AB if your husband is AO.

The only groups your children could not be is O positive or O negative.
The father could be AA or AO and still be group A, you must pass on either the A or B.
So the inheritance options are

A/A - group A
A/B - group AB
O/A - group A
O/B - group B

Either the positive or negative factors could be inherited, also, obviously.

ahhh probably, 50% A, 25% B and 25 % AB... As for the Rh Factor (i think...), I don't know how to compute them

I think that in your case, they offspring could be any of them.
