This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I literally don't understand the relationships in his comment. I simply can't get my head around it

OP (dad), married a woman and accepted her daughter into the family, making her his stepdaughter. We'll call her Drake. Dad already had a son from a previous marriage. We'll call the son Josh. Drake and Josh became close stepsiblings. Drake started dating a boy, who we'll call Freddy. Drake introduced Freddy to Josh, and they hang out every week at Josh's place to play Overwatch. Drake brought Freddy to her house, where dad was cleaning his guns, just in time for Freddy to walk past on his way to Josh's room.

It's really funny that you've chosen a male name for the only female character

If you open up your mind

Lemme know if you figure it out, I've read his comment about 12× and still scratching my head.

OP's step daughter and her boyfriend came over to drop off OP's son for his weekend visit.

[–] PoopBuffet@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Woman has daughter. Woman marries man. Man and woman have son. I guess man and woman break up? Son has weekly visits to man, daughter of woman brings son to man. Or maybe son goes to boarding school or something 🤷‍♂️

That is the reasonable explanation. If you want to imagine the situation with a banjo soundtrack nobody is stopping you.

Naw, no banjo. Was just super confused.
Your line of reasoning seems sound, let's just go with that until we hear from OP.

I think his stepdaughter, with her boyfriend, dropped off his son for the son's weekend visit with him (him being the commenter, the father).

It reads like his son was visiting his stepdaughter's boyfriend. Maybe it is that, but it'd be odd.
