Three Generations of Parenthood for 60-year-old Brit

posted: 10 months ago

Tough Math

It's kind of like a math equation. Or is it reading comprehension?

I don't know. We're kind of confused. All we know is that a 60-year-old man in Scotland became a father, a grandfather and a great-grandfather in a three-month period.

We'll attempt to summarise:

The man's name is Patrick.

Patrick's second wife (39) had a baby named Ethan.

Then, Patrick's grand-daughter, Fern (18), had a baby named Mason.

Then Fern's mom, Odette, had a baby named Leonard.

So what that means (and here we take from the actual article) is:

"...Ethan is Mason’s great-uncle, Fern has a new uncle as well as a new son, and Odette is celebrating the arrival of a son, a grandson and a half-brother who is 35 years younger than she is. Ethan also has two big half-brothers, Aaron, 33, and Dean, 32. And he’s uncle to Odette’s sons, Joel, 10, and baby Leonard, Aaron’s 11-month-old daughter Alissa, and Dean’s kids Joshua, nine, and Alivia, eight."

Did you get all that? We're sure there's a solution to this problem, but we're not sure what it is.

Five of the Best

Things we love, things we want, things we want to do, and things we think are just cool, interesting, or at least noteworthy.

  1. Awesome, overnight hair rollers are back! (It's so 1985 all over again.) Only now they're available in different shades to, well, match your hair. Whatever. You'll look great in the morning.
  2. At a loss for Father's Day (16th June)? If he likes Burgers & Beer, Cheese & Ale or Steaks & Wine, then click here.
  3. Summering in England got you down? Relish in these weekend spots. You'll be putting in for a transfer to New York in no time.
  4. If you wish you lived in a luxurious, hip barns like we do, then you'll want to click here to find out about renting one for a self-catering holiday.
  5. We haven't exactly fact-checked this Abercrombie & Fitch slam, but we're certainly open to it (and think you should be, too).
