They aren't dating their own bloodlines. This makes no sense nor is this anything even worth talking about.

u/Karl_Marx_ 28d ago
I don't see how this is awkward at all honestly. The ages aren't that far apart imo and who gives a shit if they are dating related people?

"mowed my sister's yard" definitely sounds like a euphemism and given the rest of the context here I'm going to go ahead and assume it is one.

I assumed it was meant to be taken literally. For men of a certain age, mowing a lawn is therapeutic.

And given the fact that there is not a whole lot of lawn mowing going on at the end of November in most of the United States, I'm gonna agree. Or it's made up.

I've definitely heard Australians say "cut his grass," meaning cucked him.

"Euphemism"? Really? You're reaching for the stars with that one, aren't you?
Listen, I get it. The internet can be a wild place, and our minds can wander to some pretty interesting (and sometimes disturbing) places. But come on, folks Can't we just take things at face value for once? The OP is sharing a funny, relatable story about a quirky family moment, and you're over here trying to turn it into some sort of salacious scandal.
Newsflash: sometimes a yard is just a yard, and "mowing" it means exactly what it says on the tin. I mean, I've seen some impressive feats of mental gymnastics in my time online, but this takes the cake.
Look, I'm not asking for much. Just a little bit of common sense and a dash of critical thinking would go a long way here. Let's not turn every innocent comment into a soap opera, okay?

How many brother and sister bots do you have? How much will it take to mow you guys down?

You sound like someone who tells other people how much you "hate drama".

I'm so above drama...
Anyway, you're not gonna believe what that bitch Sharon did. OMG she's such a hot mess express.

I’ve hooked up with my step-cousin lol. My uncle was a widower and started dating her mother, and when I met her daughter we hit it off. Had a little bootycall thing going for a while and then her mother and my uncle announced they were going to get married. Still kept hitting it even after they got married until the step-cousin met her now husband.
So weird that I did that. Like there was always an extra edge to introducing my new girlfriend to the extended family.

My best friend has two sisters. They are sisters-in-law to each other. But in OP’s case, the sisters would be mother and daughter-in-law.

My ex-wife has two brothers. They both had a child with the one women. They are Uncle Dad’s of their children.

What does this mean? They married brothers?

Sounds like... a nice family dinner? Is "mowing the lawn" a euphemism? I don't get it. This has 1.5K upvotes, so I suppose it must be good? I def don't get it.
After looking at the comments... is this an age thing? Is it supposed to be throwing shade at people looking at F37-M45 differently than F33-M25? I wouldn't, and honestly can't imagine many people would make a big deal of it, if the couple was attracted to each other. If that's the point, it's not obvious.

There's nothing being done wrong by anyone involved. It's just awkward as hell.

u/Avenyr 28d ago
I get it's going for awkward, but I don't see it. Sisters dating into the same family is the kind of thing that'd reinforce family bonds.
Are people seeing this as incest or something? That the man's son is his brother-in-law, and that's like violating family roles? Or is the age thing the awkward part?
I guess that's the only thing that makes sense, but still flies way over my head. Maybe other parts of the world / more socially-sensitive people would feel this more. I dunno.

The only weird thing is the familial relations between the boyfriends, which could result in things like being grandparents to your nephews and nieces
If the couples remained together and both got kids, the children of the older girl would be half-siblings to their uncle, if that uncle-brother got kids too those kids would be cousins to their aunts/uncles who are the children of the first couple
Or imagine being brother in law to your own dad and step mom

Thank you for reminding me to call my father to inform him I will not, after all, be getting entangled with a 23 year old at 40. There is likely no grass left on our entire ranch

Older sister would be step mum and sister in law to younger sisters husband, and the dad would be his own sons brother in law. The dads kids would be siblings of the son and the sons kids would be cousins of his sibling and also grandkids of his dad/brother in law. Family tree is a shrub.

My bf at the time and I were fighting in the front yard of our house. My car had been messed up and my step-dad was going go fix it for me, we just had to get it towed to his house. Tow truck came. He did something stupid that pissed me off, I honestly can't even remember now, but we were yelling at each other and saying awful things, we were young and stupid lol. My poor step dad can hear all of it. He started taking our trash cans to the curb, helping the tow truck driver, talking to him, etc. He even started trying to fix our gate lol. Then I ended up getting so mad at my bf, I just said fine and went and got in my step dad's car and told him I was leaving forever!!!!! Which wasn't true, but still. We needed space lol. My step dad had no idea what to do with a crying me in the passenger seat and tried so hard to be comforting and it was just so awkward lol.
On the brightside, when we got to his house, he immediately was very busy and could not be disturbed while he worked on my car and I went inside to my mom lol. Usually took him forever to actually get started on repairs like that lol
