One word for daughter's father in law?

I too am looking for a term in English.

Hebrew (and Yiddish) have terms.

The two sets of parents of a married couple are M'CHUTANIM.

(M'CHUTANIM is also used for any in-law.)

Each father is a M'CHUTAN. Each mother is a M'CHUTENET.

The root of these words is related to CHATUNA which means wedding.

L'HITCHATEIN is to get married.

A groom is called a CHATAN.

That too is the term for son-in-law.

A father-in-law is a CHOTEIN.

Yiddish has variations on these words.

It is unrealistic to expect that the lexicons of different languages will have terms that exactly correspond. As languages evolve so do vocabularies - if a word doesn't function effectively it is changed or drops out of use. "Mother-in-law" has evolved in English to distinguish between a person's natural mother and the mother of their spouse. This distinction is most often used when speaking to a third person but not so often when speaking directly to the Mother-in-law.

It is quite usual over time for English families to refer to both sets of parents by the terms 'mother' and 'father' and their derivatives - just as you have described in Yiddish. However, a shorthand may develop with someone referring to their natural mother as Mum and their mother-in-law as "mother". In much the same way as terms for grandparents are varied to distinguish between the mother's and father's parents - perhaps Grandma and Grandpa for one set and Nanna and Pops for another. This works in reverse to with in-laws referring to son-in-law as 'son'.

Quite often a son- or daughter-in-law will refer to the spouse's mother by the mother's own first name.

Of course different families manifest different degrees of formality and what is considered appropriate within one family may be frowned upon in another.

Your step dad touches you what should you do?

Assuming you are not of legal consent age, and he did this without you leading him on, speak to your mom. If this happens again, go to your school councilor or teacher. Bypass mom if she has done nothing to help. If you are of legal consent age and you were enticing him, but realize this is wrong, let him know it is over immediately and if he tries it again, you will go to the police first, mom second!

How do you tell your parents you have been dating a guy that is 8 years older than you for a year?

If you want your parents to trust you ever again, you have to tell the truth. The problem here is, haven't your parents met this guy in the whole time that you have been dating? They might already suspect that he is older. The difference in age does not matter when you are in your mid to late twenties and on up but when you are a young teenager, the differences are immense. Your likes and dislikes are so different. However, be honest and sit down and tell them. Get them to be open minded first and not judgmental and perhaps they won't be angry at all.

What do you do if you hate your mum?

  • Since you are old enough to be aware that your mother thinks you hate her then sit down and talk to her. Look her right in the eye and tell her you love her and then give her a big hug because moms can be the most unappreciated of all. Your mother may feel you hate her because she has the responsibility of keeping you safe and by doing so she needs to set rules for you to go by and they are wise rules because your mother has experienced a great deal in her life and she understands a lot more than you give her credit for of what you may be going through in your life as your mother was single and young once herself. Have that heart-to-heart talk soon because if you leave it too long it could be too late.

What are the pros and cons of having a baby?

Pros....it is a unique experience that is only known through experiencing having a living, breathing baby moving inside of you. Nothing in the world tops that experience, except for the birth of a child!!! 2. Most women have what is called a "glow" about them while pregnant. Very beautiful looking. 3. It is a gift that only some can experience(not everyone can have babies). 4. A lot of us eat healthier when pregnant. And feel the best ever! 5. Sense of purpose in life. Cons....some maybe sick for awhile. It should subside soon though. Tired, back aches, weight gain. All in all, the best experiences of my life!!!! Cons- They will grow up and be a little hellian if you aren't a good mother

What does mom think seeing adult son nude?

NO

There are numerous studies and experts that indicate casual family or social nudity is actually a good thing!

Also note the cultural differences between the US and much of the rest of the world - the US is much more repressed in accepting that nudity is not always associated with sex. European attitudes are far more open and you'll find many Norwegian saunas fully co-ed & family oriented.

It would also be a very sad thing if a son became a primary care-giver to an elderly mother and could not deal with the simple sight of a nude body for administering baths and the like.

Agreed

I never looked at it this way until the above poster informed us of this view. I would be sick if I saw my parents naked, and there is no way I could bath and wash them when they get old!

Why do little sisters copy you?

  • The older sister is the mentor of the younger sisters. In other words your little sisters sees how you dress and act and they want to grow up fast and be just like you. Instead of finding your little sisters annoying to you have a little fun with them by letting them dress up (in the house only) in some of your clothes and perhaps put a little lip gloss on their lips because these will be fond memories for your sisters when they grow up.

What is the average retainer for a divorce Family Law Attorney?

Lawfully talking, marriage exists as an agreement between two individuals. Like any agreement, it has terms that are set that the two gatherings, the companions, concur upon. A separation documenting is in a general sense a dissolving of that agreement, and like any agreement, that includes the legitimate cycle of going to some sort of concurrence on the most proficient method to end the agreement, including how to partition resources, who to put the kids with and what appearance rights every individual has, just as support settlements. Most occasions, the separated from couple concurs on those terms and goes to a simple settlement that permits them to proceed onward rapidly. In any case, different occasions, that is basically unrealistic. That is the point at which we should enter the cycle of a challenged separate.

How do you make your mom and dad give you what you want?

You don't. Your parents job is to make sure you grow up to be a good person. If they gave you what you want it may not be what you need or you could get hurt. Children don't have the experience to know that some things they want are not safe or can't be done for different reasons. Let's say you "want" to play on the freeway. Playing on the freeway can kill you so your parents need to stop you. There are many reasons why your parents don't give you what you want.
