Just a little joke, so that you can spend your time in more leisurely fashion (and hopefully leave your brain intact):

"Don't you tell me you've got complicated family issues! Believe me, you have absolutely no idea what are real complicated family issues. I do. Listen:
A couple of years ago I met this wonderful young widow, who by the way has a lovely mature daughter. Anyway, we got married. Not long ago my father decided to marry my step-daughter.
That made my step-daughter my step-mother, while my own father turned into my son-in-law.
By the way, that turns my wife into the mother in law of her father-in-law.
Let's go deeper: recently , the daughter of my wife (my step-mother, now) had a baby son. This boys is my blood-brother, because he's the son of my dad, but he's also the son of the daughter of my wife, which makes him the nephew of my wife.
This makes me the grandfather of my brother. It was tolerable nonetheless, until me and my wife had a son.
Now, the sister of my son, my mother-in-law, became a grandmother. This makes my Dad the brother-in-law of my child, who's step sister is the wife of my dad.

I am the brother-in-law of my step-mother: my wife- the aunt oh her own child; my son- the nephew of my father: and I'm... well I'm my own grandfather. DON"T YOU DARE MENTION YOUR FAMILY ISSUES!"

OMG! I've read this somewhere before and I thought it was mind-numbing.... A real brain twister... Thanx, Vass!

making a family tree of this one is gonna be like a twilight zone for family tree makers...
