Heros.

Those guys who raised daughters who would finally get my sons to move out of the house.

No way I could ever repay them.

In Tagalog, you and your son's parents-in-law would be "balae" (the word describing your relationship to the other set of parents.) A pretty close relationship in Filipino culture.

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


Actually, a Hebrew word which survived via Yiddishkeit.

It means (roughly)

The In-laws.

or

The Outlaws.

Depending on who's doing the talking.
