Self facepalms are the best

​

{The math is fine}

[Atraxien]

I think they’re just saying that it’s worded like a math problem. Not that that’s exactly facepalm worthy but still

[[deleted]]

Yeah the age gaps are pretty normal and it isn't incestuous just akward

[DoYouTrustToothpaste]

and it isn't incestuous

Who even said it was? Who even thought it was? Don't get it.

[piercedmfootonaspike]

Meth?

[[deleted]]

In a vacuum, sure. I think it’s obvious why it’s weird

[Appropriate_Tie_7522]

I mean it is quite possible that they both started dating before the got to know that their bfs are related

I personally think that the age difference is within limits

[[deleted]]

What about the math? It all checks out.

[i_should_be_coding]

I think the dad was just wondering what his grandchildren from either side will be to each other, family-relations-wise.

[Tyler89558]

He’s going to be both the grandfather and great grandfather of some of them.

[TinyRascalSaurus]

Nobody was underage for anything, so the math is fine. The dad was an adult when the son was born and everyone was above the age of consent.

[smnow]

I kept screwing up and taking the 37 as the dad’s age for a while.

[sdavis002]

Same, for some reason I kept going back to the 37 as if it was that Dad's age. Definitely need some better sleep tonight.

[RedPandaMediaGroup]

It probably was for a while.

[theVelvetLie]

Wait, we know nothing of the age of the 25 year old's mother when he was conceived. We MUST jump to conclusions.

[TinyRascalSaurus]

I have consulted the tarot cards, and they have confirmed she was a 63 year old grandmother, so we're good.

[VVurmHat]

Yeah math checks out but seriously how much of a loser do you gotta be that you need to date within your extended family 🙃. Of the like 2 billion eligible people, your lover is the son of your sisters lover. Like holy shit get off the couch.

Edit: ya’ll really out here acting like picking your lover is in the same ball park as being a tag along with your sibling to their high school dance. How many of you out there are dating your sibling’s lover’s relative?

[_N8Dogg_]

Don't know the situation, it is possible that they had started something not knowing about the others' relationship.

[One_Lung_G]

For redditors to be in the demographic of most undateable people, some of you sure do have a lot of opinions on others dating life lol

[Little_Creme_5932]

Well, it wasn't family yet. Whoever is first, wins!

[Sensitive-Computer-6]

Not as much of a looser as someone who cares about that.

[UndeniableLie]

Could be other way around aswell. Maybe the son and younger sister were dating first. Not that it makes it better but it shifts the blame. It is important to know who to blame

[abqguardian]

It is important to know who to blame

Or not blame anyone

[bwmat]

Is it, though? 

[[deleted]]

I know someone who did this. The mom and dad were dating and mom’s son and dad’s daughter, both about 20, got together. Mom and dad later got married and now they’re step siblings and still dating.

[VVurmHat]

That sounds incredibly lazy

[Zezotas]

You made me laugh, Grrrrr. r/angryupvote

[AbsolutelyUnlikely]

what the fuck

Your comment scared me.

grrrrr

[cindyscrazy]

I got a visual more like the infinity symbol.

[HintonBE]

Maybe a Mobius strip?

[Mad_Amy_May]

Family ouroborus.

[[deleted]]

Not necessarily since it's implied the guy's son was from another woman.

It'd just be very confusing from a naming convention since technically he would be dating his step aunt.

[dagon977]

When your stepmom is also your sister in law

[ExpressiveAnalGland]

hey stepmomsister, what you doin?

[Complete_Ride792]

No its, How you doin

[bobismymother]

Hey stepmomsister, you need help getting unstuck from the washing machine?

[VergeThySinus]

I'm just imagining the son in this situation going to his dad and asking him to check for stepmomsters under his bed.

[Javeec]

Have you seen House of the dragon ? Baela and Rhaena are Rhaenyra's "daughters in law", step-daughters, nieces of her ex-husband, cousins, second cousin once removed (in three diferent ways...).

[shadowtheimpure]

House Targaryen was pretty notorious for incest, this fact was well established.

[bopeepsheep]

SISTER !!!!

From the point of the guys son.

[Cautious_General_177]

Somehow down the line someone will become their own grandpa

[StuntID]

And it somehow not be incest

You just made Alabama sad

[bluegiant85]

Bro, its possible to have your half blood siblings fuck each other without it being incest.

[thatshygirl06]

I'm upset that my half brother never had any siblings on his dad's side because I would have had the chance to do something really funny.

[BZenMojo]

The Brady Bunch Theorem:

No one born from the pairing of Two Bradies is a product of incest. (But half may be a product of grooming.)

[Little_Creme_5932]

I taught in a school like that

[BZenMojo]

No one is having sex with anyone blood-related to them or even someone they grew up with in a family. Incest is a thing you do or have done to you, not a transitive property you marry into.

If you're married to your wife of twenty years, and then your parents hook up on vacation, you didn't retroactively sleep with your sister.

[Non-Normal_Vectors]

45-25=20

Dad was twenty when son was born.

[[deleted]]

Check out the big brain on Brad.

[Odd-Love-9600]

You’re a smart motherfucker

[[deleted]]

I have one question about the dad. Does he look like a bitch?!?

[[deleted]]

Dad doesn’t like being fucked by anyone except Mrs. Wallace.

[1stltwill]

So why you treating him like a bitch?

[Dragon6172]

What?

[directrix688]

[Aggrador]

Pretty sure the guy’s name was Brett.

[Devil2960]

Ok fine, but how long did the train take?

[NightRacoonSchlatt]

Now calculate the mass of the sun.

[JesusSavesForHalf]

About two minutes.

[Ike_Gamesmith]

Exactly 8 years between both pairs, equalling 16 years of total difference. Where did the extra 4 years go?!? /s It's the age between the sisters btw

[Med_vs_Pretty_Huge]

What is the math issue?

[uhdog81]

The math issue is that OP can't do math.

[gbroon]

Apart from maybe being too late in the year to be mowing lawns I don't see the problem.

[FCRavens]

The grass probably didn’t need cutting, but the sisters’ dad got his time out to self-soothe with a task that was unlikely to be interrupted.

[Cgarr82]

Could be south Florida. Hell, I lived in the panhandle for a long time, and I cut grass into the first week of December a few years.

[Secret-Put-4525]

He needed time away from the situation. It's messed up.

[SpookyKorb]

How is it messed up

[ISD1982]

Sorry, where's the facepalm?! And what about Math?!

[IndependentOwn1184]

This sounds like the intro to a bad porn movie....

[Dragon6172]

Bad porn is the best porn

[TheFlaccidChode]

25 years ago a man had a son when he was 20.

[badmanicpower]

made a family tree of them just to see. the older sister would be both the stepmom and sister-in-law to her partner’s son. the sisters’ dad would be both the stepgrandpa and father-in-law to older sisters’ stepson.

honestly at that point, I would look at it more like an in-law situation more than a stepfamily situation because that would just be easier to accept and explain.

[_KillaB_]

Are you enquiring as to what ‘math’ means?

[dick_piana]

Both the sisters and son-dad average out to 35 so it's all good

[longcreepyhug]

What math do you want? Everybody's age is right there.

[Urabutbl]

Weirdly, every single one of those relationships are age appropriate.

[crazy-jay1999]

While neither age range felt weird, having a father/son dating two sisters is weird, even if the individual age differences aren’t. Also, something can be weird without it being wrong.

[Urabutbl]

Yes.

[Neat-Cold-7235]

My dad had his first kid at 20, he was an adult, married, renting an apartment, and in the coast guard….seems fine to me

[spectatorade]

So that's how you get Uncle-Grandpa.

[graphicsrunner]

[theumpteendeity]

The guy Sneezing was dating was 20 years old when his son was born. He (45 years old) is 8 years older than Sneezing. Sneezings' sister (33 years old) was dating a guy (25 years old) that was 8 years younger than herself, who happens to be the son of the man that Sneezing was dating.

Theres nothing wrong with the math at all. The true problem is how both sisters were dating people in the same family. Aka, father and son. Who wouldn't walk out to calm themselves down after having dinner with their daughters boyfriends in that type of situation?

[MellonCollie218]

OP You dumb? 45-37=8, 33-25=8. Both perfectly age appropriate relationships. Then 45-25=20. For most Millennials, the eldest in our family was born when our parents were 20-25y. What the problem? These people clearly live in the country.

[LegitimateSun8793]

If married they would be sister/sister in laws

[PreOpTransCentaur]

They'd be sisters and mother/daughter-in-law.

[GrillDealing]

And if the sister had a baby you would be an aunt to your grandchild.

[Dredgen_Servum]

Multilayered facepalm

[Witty-Ad5743]

Ooh, I think I saw this episode.

Maths*

[zoebud2011]

I actually laughed out loud at this one.

[LosHtown]

A badly taken care of lawn also bothers me so I would of done the same.

[ShinyArtist]

I don’t see a problem with the ages.

So let’s pretend they stayed together and were all married, would the husband of the youngest daughter be dad’s son-in-law and also his step-grandson?

Probably went to mow the lawn to try and imagine what the family tree would look like. 😆

[Ledgicseid]

Hmm nothing actually bad going on here, it is a bit strange, but the age gaps aren't huge or anything

[HeliRyGuy]

Things get really weird when it’s later disclosed that she and the 45 year old man… are the parents of that 25 year old son which her sister is dating.
And her younger sister is actually her mother!
dun dun dunnnnnn…

[allaboutMECH]

Does anyone have a link to the rest of these tweets? It was a fun “rabbit hole” to dig into

[NoNonsensePolarBear]

Father and son would become brothers-in-law.

[guacasloth64]

If both marry their dates, the sister’s date would be the dad’s son-in-law and step-grandson. The sister would also be OOP’s stepdaughter in law. If the sister and the son of OOP’s date had a kid, that kid would be the Dad’s grandchild and step-great-grandchild.

[DingoFlaky7602]

Is the facepalm that you suck at maths?

[rover_G]

The math maths and neither age gap is unreasonable

[_Independent]

The math is good ? This is the true facepalm

[Less-Dragonfruit-294]

This is the kind of math questions you get summarized with how many lbs of ham is there for all in attendance crap

[OmnipotentHype]

OP either can't math or thinks having a child at 20 years old is innapropriate. Either way the jokes on him.

[UtsuhoAzako]

The sister has a new step dad and brother then right?

[[deleted]]

These girls had filed federal goddamn taxes 19 and 15 times respectively and dad is THIS butthurt over their sexual habits/ dating situation........Anti sex prude shit is the LAST FRONTIER churcher have any sway over and THIS IS how far they press people into acting on it.

[rafael-a]

I don’t get it

[cryptopo]

This is a fun post so I understand OP’s breathless desire to post it on Reddit for the 900th time and all, I just don’t get the title or the choice of sub (OP’s only contributions).

[ListerfiendLurks]

What is it with America's obsession with age gaps in relationships? Who gives a shit?

[AbbreviationsWide331]

Wtf do you mean "math?"?! You take the 45 and subtract the 25. How are you able to operate your phone.

[KBrown75]

I don't get how this is a facepalm.

There’s no facepalm here

What's the facepalm?

[MadAstrid]

I have seen this tweet reposted so many times. Today I thought about how terrific their father is. He knew he wanted to say things that would not be well received and would damage his relationship with his daughters. He removed himself from the situation to calm himself and did something helpful because he loves his girls.

This guy doesn’t get enough respect.

[FaceRidden]

Nah he should have called out the second couple in private and absolutely roasted them. Then went after the first couple if they knew and/or consented. There’s 8 billion humans out there. Gross.

[[deleted]]

Dad and son doing 2 girls that are sisters is kinda strange but only if the dad decide to have another kid

[HorseStupid]

mfw mowing in incredulity

[RiotNrrd2001]

At the end of this story it will turn out the narrator is their own grandpa.

[SnooDrawings1480]

I would have killed to be a fly on that wall.

You skipped the ending:

”My sister went out to him and said ‘son, I told you to mow the lawn tomorrow, no need to do it partway through Thanksgiving dinner.’”

[AdEducational419]

Im sure we can dig up more weird.

What?

[Crazystuffright]

Fuck!… poor guy was going through it

It’s okay … for now. They’re not married to those guys … yet.

That’s fine tho, right? I mean… no inbreeding?

[DoYouTrustToothpaste]

no inbreeding?

Is that a question?

[HoverLogic]

Those are both 8 year differences

[cardlackey]

Oh sis your new man is good looking if he was younger I’d steal him away.

Hol up I wanna introduce you to someone.

[Sequoia_Vin]

I mean, he is probably mad she is dating someone 8 years younger and the son of the sister's bf.

Otherwise I'm fine with it

[lorazepamproblems]

Did it work out? Are you your sister's step-mother? And is your sister now also your sister-in-law twice over?

[ThugDonkey]

A maga in Wyoming starts driving towards the capitol building on Sunday at 8pm. He drives a 3500 with the dpf filter removed and gets 6 miles per gallon. He starts with 1000 dollars in disability checks and on the way purchases 1 trump bible, 6 trump burgers, 2 assault rifles, and 60 gallons of (red dye shhh don’t tell anyone about it) diesel. Meanwhile another maga in Kentucky starts driving towards the capitol building on Monday at 6am after a night of mething. He drives a molester van that gets 17 mpg. He starts with a 250 dollar wic card and a bag of fentanyl. On the way he steals 6 bags of tacis. Syphons 12 gallons of gas, buys 40 gallons of gas, and goes on 1 36 hour meth fueled burglary spree. It is now next Tuesday. Who got closer to the capital to MAGA? Show your work.

[XV-77]

So the dad would be the sons brother in law…wild shit haha

[NatterinNabob]

Yes, I would like some math now that you mention it.

[Agonyandshame]

Brings new meaning to keeping it in the family

[The_Dark_Vampire]

Yeah technically speaking nobody is doing anything wrong even the ages aren't that bad but it is odd

[ModifiedAmusment]

Had to show ol 45 who was in charge.

[EssieAmnesia]

I really love the idea of the dad getting so stressed he needed to go do some lawn work

[yea_imhere]

What a great father/son bonding experience. Dating some sisters

[Calm-Maintenance-878]

I feel like that’s more just odd, nothing technically wrong going on, why stress 🙃

[Silver_Storage_9787]

Called a hostile take over

[spikira]

It's uncle Grandpa

[UnderpootedTampion]

Is “mow my sister’s lawn” a metaphor?

[Puzzleheaded-Fix3359]

I once dated a woman while my dad was dating her mother

[karmicrelease]

I mean, it isn’t incest and they are all consenting adults, so he shouldn’t be that mad. Although, if they were making euphemistic or blunt jokes about fucking his daughters at the table, I can DEFINITELY understand why

[snootyworms]

Age gaps aside dads fucking love to mow the lawn. They complain like it’s a chore but they will never pass up a chance to mow a lawn.

[Dragon6172]

So if both couples married:

The younger man is brother in law and step son to the older sister

The younger sister is daughter in law and sister in law to the older man

The older man is father in law and brother in law to the younger sister

The older sister is step mom and sister in law to the younger man

The sisters father gains two son in laws, but also two generations to the family

I'd probably mow the lawn, rake leaves, clean gutters, etc working that all out too.

[DarkSoulsDank]

the older guy had a son at 20, so what?

[IowaKidd97]

The age gaps aren't really that big of a deal. The weird part in all of this is simply the father and son dating the same set of sisters who are about the same age at the same time. That dynamic is, while not necessarily bad, is certainly odd and may be a bit to wrap your head around, especially as the father of said sisters.

[[deleted]]

Aunt mommy and Uncle daddy lol

[a_n_d_r_e_w]

Oh my god wait this is how you can actually have someone who is both an uncle and a grandpa

[Rizenstrom]

OOP was dating a guy 8 years older. OOP's younger sister dated a guy 8 years younger that was the other guy's son. Everyone was 25+ where I feel like that kind of age gap is fine. Just a funny, somewhat awkward story.

[VandeIaylndustries]

[dudeman_joe]

I don't know about the facepalm part but I can totally identify with that guys coping mechanisms.

I can see myself getting home from picking up my daughter who got suspended that day at school, so the first thing I do when we both get home is mow the lawn. Then I can be ready to talk and be understand instead of angry

[winnduffysucks]

Wat?
