Tallaght woman becomes grandmother, great-gran and great-great gran all on same day.

Kat Slater · 14-08-2009 02:14PM #1

Was listening to Radio 1 a few minutes ago and they were talking about a woman called Eileen who had become a mother, grandmother and great-grandmother all on the same day (3 family births within a few hours of each other).

I only caught the end of it and didn't hear it properly, is anyone else able to enlighten us further? Apparently it is in the Irish Sun today but no link is online. Sounded quite unbelieveable but I guess it must be true.

Damn her husband was busy.

sounds like an episode of gerry springer

That doesn't really work though, does it? Unless she gave birth to a baby, who was pregnant and that baby was pregnant

I thought she became a Grand Mother, Great Grand Mother, and Great Great Grand mother.

Shock, horror - Ballyfermot/Tallaght woman puts out ...

AnonoBoy · 14-08-2009 02:23PM

Perhaps there was some mix up with a time machine?

I presume she didn't "become" any of these for the first time.

I guess she's saying that she had a child, a grandchild, and a great-grandchild all on the same day.

I presume some of them are once-removed, or else she's pretty old. E.g. her son married a woman who already had a 15 year old daughter or something.

Quite right - the state is a mental construct, and as such has no money.

However, we don't know the details of this family's economic situation, or do we?

Sex education was obviously thought everyday in that house.

El Siglo · 14-08-2009 02:28PM

I think it's a miracle, child birth is a beautiful thing and this woman should be proud of herself!*;)

If she had been using a machine - none of this would have happened!!!

Sounds like the result of some dodgy incest.

Smart Bug · 14-08-2009 02:31PM

Rubbish. Links or gtfo.

IIMII · 14-08-2009 02:32PM

No, nothing was said. She is just an old woman, fair play to her

The practical was anyway.

The woman is 85 and has 16 children.

If she's 85 and just became a mother again, that must be some kind of record.

That would make a lot more sense actually, I may have picked it up wrong. It did say that the woman had 16 children already. I'm too lazy to go and buy the Irish Sun to find out for sure.

I didn't say she did. She had a Grandchild (her son's wife had a child) she had a great grandchild (her grandaughter had a child) and she had a great great grandchild (her great grandaughter had a child) all within 31 minutes of each other. Pretty cool really.

Voodu Child · 14-08-2009 02:55PM

So you're saying that technically, she is her own Auntie?
Amazing
