Hmmm, I can buy that there are 5 or less kids in the house and mom just buys a 5-pack so each kid can give Dad an individual card, but who's giving Dad 5 of the same card lol.

I knew a woman with three kids. Each kid with a different father.
Five is not much of a stretch.

My dad never noticed my mom gave him the same Christmas card three years in a row. Same card, same envelope. Put it on display for a few weeks, back in the envelope, and back in the drawer for next year. We found out when she passed and we were cleaning out the drawers.

There are a lot of grandparents nowadays who are having to raise one or more of their grandkids.

It could be that Grandpa and Grandma have had to legally adopt a grandchild/grandchildren.

It sucks, but that's the reality today, for example too many young adults with children get involved with drugs or crime and are dead or incarcerated for a long long time.

A true Father-Grandfather situation like that is always going to be messy, but I had a few dealings at work with a somewhat more benign (though still kinda trashy) Uncle-Daddy situation.

Story was like this: Teenaged boy starts dating teenaged girl. Then boy's divorced dad and girl's divorced mom hit it off. Right around the time the parents are announcing their engagement, girl comes up pregnant by the boy. Parents proceed with wedding. By the time the baby is born, its father is also its (step)uncle, because the teenaged parents are now stepsiblings.

So no incest involved, but I still bet Family Tree day in school was going to be a bit confusing for that kid.



And yes, there are lots of grandparents who end up raising their grandbabies. Sometimes due to no fault of their own or the parents. But unfortunately, while not always, it often enough just means that they now have a second generation of kids to screw up with their shitty parenting. (E.g. parent is an addict/criminal due in part to a shitty childhood and can't care for the kid, so they end up with the grandparents who are responsible for the mother's shitty childhood to begin with, thus extending the cycle.)
