step mother to the younger man and also his mother-in-law.
The younger brother has married his step sister. What a shemozzle!
The redeming feature lest the whole thing become a Feydeau farce
or a Restoration comedy, is that only the younger son has children. >>
Good Morning....
I found this funny, as a person I know quite well ...let's call her K
K, mother of A...marries Msr, father of M jr
So K is mother to A, step mother of Mjr
Msr is stepfather to A
A& Mjr are step sister and brother...
A & M jr decide to marry.... making K mother in law to Mjr
as well as step mother in law to A & Mjr !
Msr is father, as well as step father in law to both A & Mjr
K & Msr get cheated out of "extra" grandchildren!
But...there is a benefit to non blood family intermarriage... (think of the
savings at Christmastime....) <GRIN>
