Talk:Parent-in-law

message: This page needed disambiguation.  My logic in creating a link at the top instead of a disambiguation page is that reference to a plant by the name of Mother-in-law's tounge is of the form "ArticleTitle Blah" where just the article title would virtually never be  used alone to reference to object under discussion.  As per Wikipedia:Disambiguation, such a reference should not appear on this page.  It could be argued that the link to mother-in-law languages should be disambiguated, but this seems to be connected with the idea that mothers-in-law are often regarded unpleasantly.  The sentence probably does need to be better integrated into the article, but as this article is a stub this is, perhaps, to be expected.  At any rate, it doesn't need to be disambiguated.  This leaves only one other ambiguous use, so I have linked to it at the top and will shortly create a stub for it. --Zarvok | Talk 04:46, 21 July 2005 (UTC)

:It's actually an old joke that's been kicking around for decades, but we still might not want to include it in the article... AnonMoos 18:48, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

message: In other cultures (especially traditionally in Asia), the main "mother-in-law" problem is the husband's mother being given the power to order around her son's wife, and make her work hard and conform to family norms.  The Japanese supposedly have a saying that "Western in-law problems are comedy, Japanaese in-law problems tragedy"... AnonMoos 18:48, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

message: I was reading a Georgette Heyer book and the relationship between two of the main characters was a step relationship.  She was the step-mother, he the step-son.  However, throughout the majority of the book, the author used the terms mother-in-law and son-in-law to describe this relationship.  It was so pervasive that I figured there must have been an earlier definition that allowed these terms to be correct in that time period.  I have not found much on the Web, but I did find a reference to them being archaic usages.

message: I have merged the ridiculously short overlapping stubs for "mother-in-law" and "father-in-law" into a single page. If we develop enough content to justify splitting them out again, have at it. bd2412 T 19:36, 22 January 2011 (UTC)
