I couldn't agree more.
As you said, it's sad because we know people like this in real life.
I've known some kids who literally have about 6 sets of grandparents (not all biological of course, but step-grandparents, or cases where grandmother & grandfather divorced themselves and then remarried, sometimes multiple times).
I know kids who are in their teens, but cannot explain how they are related to their various siblings, step-siblings, half-siblings, cousins, aunts, uncles, etc. Many of them do not know their biological "blood" relatives from step relatives that have resulted from multiple divorces and subsequent marriages. (Hope they never make a mistake with bone-marrow transplants or something like that.)
I actually know kids who don't know their biological uncles from one of their various former step-fathers.
