I don’t really know why we use the terms “father in law” or “mother in law” when referring to the parents of our spouses, but if I had to guess, we call them Father in Laws because, by and large, it takes the full force of the law and government for us to begrudgingly admit that we are sort of family.
At least, I think that’s how the people who made these Reddit posts feel. They say you can’t choose your family, but they rarely get into the headache of choosing someone you SUPER love and then having to deal with dummies like this as a bonus.
Prepare the FIL cringe.

In all seriousness dude, what are you afraid is going to happen?
He might build empathy skills and learn how to care for a child?
My sister’s father-in-law, who is a very conservative trump supporter, was not happy that she bought her son a baby doll for Christmas.

3. An insult and a challenge!
When your religion reaches “yelling about dinosaurs” levels, it’s time to turn back.
My FIL is a non-denominational Christian preacher. He mails us his self-made religious flyers every couple of weeks. He really outdid himself this time.

Father in laws. Can’t live with ’em, can’t legally get rid of them.
But what about your FIL? How do you feel about him?
