Hi.
I was checking the family relationships with my students, when someone asked me about the relationship between the in-laws.
The thing is that in Spanish, the parents in law call each other "consuegros". Is there a translation for that word in English?
Or what is the relationship between parents in law??
Thanks |

I don't think that there is a word in English for the relationship between my parents and my parents-in-law. There probably should be a word, but there isn't. I think that my parents would say something like, "the parents of my daughter-in-law" to convey the relationship.
Best,
