Reply To: What makes a good father-in-law?

I have one married sister. I think her husband and my Dad got along ok. The BIL can be argumentative at times, refusing to acknowledge any viewpoints other than his own (especially about halacha). I think my Dad usually changed the topic of conversation when this happened.

Both of my in-laws have been wonderful to me through all my years of marriage to their daughter. People make in-law jokes all the time, but I love my in-laws to pieces. They really stepped up for me when my parents both died fairly close together. They’re flying in for the wedding and are staying with us for four weeks.
