But it made my wife and I close, then things got comfy and secure. The in-laws respected me for that.
When the kids were born..............Well...........Let's just say my kids will be well taken care of.  Grandkids are the in-laws biggest weakness. 
In Japan, traditionally if you're a dead beat mooch, you are cut out. |
Don't get me wrong, I have a great job and by no means a mooch. I just mean that if you accept a really nice gift from papa then he becomes the boss. (at least in her family) I personnally think he was just really happy about all the money he is saving by getting her out of the house
I know exactly what you mean about the Grandkids. As soon as we have kids I am sure I will be moving back to Japan. It's already being discussed. (with out my input)
