Yay, happy new baby to all! I am bouleversée, actually, as being in the grandparental generation is odder than I expected... Speaking of kinship terms, as I was, does anybody have a term for 2 women who are each mother-in-law of thalf a couple? The two who will fight over the grandchildren? Or for parents en général who share married children |
