Make yourself or your son the HOME person. Then the relationships show in relation to YOU (or him) -- the person currently your HOME is your 12G GF, rather than you being his 12G GS. Making your son the HOME person still leaves you a 12G GS, but it gets all the daughters' lines and wives' lines in there too.
