I use the word "in-laws" myself although technically it is incorrect. I'm from Missouri, so there are many words like warsh rag that we use incorrectly.

They are not your in-laws by true definition, they are your son's in-laws. Your son's wife's father would be your daughter in-law's father. I don't believe there are any words beyond that in our language for that relationship.

My daughter recently got married. I hit it off pretty well with the groom's father. we just call each other by our first names.



"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."

Son's Father-in-Law
or
Daughter-in-Law's Father

Can't think of a specific word other then that.

I suspect the Scandinavians have a word for it--their languages have a lot of very specific relationships.

Once our daughter had a baby I referred to Leroy as my “co-Grandpa” since now we’re joined by DNA.

If you're Spanish it's Consuergo. But if you're not, then it's your daughter in law's father.



"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.

my mom's accurate-enough listing of such clan members both present & previous:

in-laws
out-laws
un-laws

depending how how big any brewing feud was at the time

This one seems the most descriptive. I refer to them as the inlaws in the plural. But I've been building an AR for my DIL's father and needed to reference him by a term other than his name to those who don't know him but need to know who he is. lol You'd think the English language would have developed a single word for that by now...

When I saw Sig Monkey post I thought it would be this.

There is a specific term in Yiddish for the relationship between the parents of a husband and wife: machatunim.
