My parents were not thrilled we us living together, but my dad really and truly does like his son in law - and absolutely adores his only grandchild - who wouldn’t be around if it weren’t for that said son in law!!!!!!!1
Dad totally despised my first, even when we were just “dating,” - he has liked this man from the first time he met him.
All I can say is that I finally grew up and married a man like my dad! Well, with the same sense of humor :-)
That’s funny! Our son-in-law reminds me a lot of my husband when he was younger, but they are still different enough that it’s not weird. ;-)
