I could have cuddled his dad till the cows came home.
His mum was rather odd and did nag a bit, but it was always in jest really. She was such a card.
The other F.I.L. was ok. Nothing special.
Art... my mum, in her 'lucid' moments, called me Peggy Mount once or twice - always related to me trying to get her to take her pills I hasten to add
Your mum calling you Peggy Mount...was not a compliment! At least, you didn't look like her...Peggy Mount..that is!!

Thought that she ought to come with us to choose the furniture for our home, no way was I'm allowing that. Christmas and Easter was always going to be at their home, oh no, I had family too. Anyway as you can imagine , both my MIL and Husband are now well in my past by some 33 yrs, and no I have never re-married.
