Gregory's ServerI don’t know if it’s weird or not, but I find myself referring to my son’s fiancé as one of my kids. Hopefully not too weird.

 @0x00string she lives with my son at home now, so I really do see her has one of my kids  @jerry s/kid/person/g so it sounds less like im literally infantilizing this person hahahahahahhaha @jerry I bet you are the best father-in-law! 🏆 As far as calling your future DIL that, maybe ask your son in private that way if she doesn’t like it you don’t have to have an awkward moment. If you are concerned about it. Otherwise, be like Elsa and let that go :) @InfoSecSherpa that is good advice. And I try to be a good person to all, and especially my family. @jerry If you're seen as eccentric within your family it's prolly no harm no foul. @resonancewright I think that’s a fair assessment of me 😬  @jerry well, would she become one of your kids when she marries your son? You're just being a bit anticipatory. Hope she appreciates that. @jerry @jerry as someone whose in-laws have often seemed begrudgingly accepting despite me being with my wife for over 13 years: I don’t think it’s weird. (Caveat: I’m sure part of my situation has to do with my own insecurities. Perhaps the only advice I’d give would be to tell the spouse-to-be you feel this way rather than assuming it’s already known.)  @jerry no, that’s not strange at all. It’s probably worthwhile to ask her opinion/permission directly, but it’s very common. @jerry Def not wired, came from extended family living very close together. Totally common out side USA. |
@jerry as a kid oh someone who remarried someone who did that, ill say: it depends on your relationship
