How is that dynamic? Is there any jealousy? Watching Jared Kushner be Trump's right hand man over his actual sons got me thinking about how the family dynamic becomes in a situation like that.

I know a guy who turned the family company over to his son-in-law to be CEO but in that situation his kids did not want to run the business.

I married a woman with only a sister. My father in law loves me.

2 daughters, a wife, a sister, and both their pets are females too. He is deprived of male bonding.

Not trying to make this anti-Trump sounding, but to me it seems possible his sons have different relationships with DJT than the average father son relationship.

So I'm guessing they're probably a little more used to not being the center of dad's world than the average child.

my FIL is a great human so that helps a ton....we hunt together a lot so you get to know a lot about someone driving to a cut over or a duck blind.

from the day I first came around he and my MIL have always treated me like part of the family. That says a lot about them because they didn't have too... my wife is the oldest of 5 kids...3 boys 2 girls

I know I am lucky for that relationship however, I have friends that battle their in-laws daily.

I know this doesn't apply to every father-son relationship, but when father and son work together, they are likely argue a lot more than if it was someone who was not the son.

I'm closer to my SO's stepdad. He's treated me well since the beginning. The dad is a prick.

I'm pretty close with my in-laws. If they were Cajun mafia, I would probably be considered the consigliere in the hierarchy.

Yep, my BIL is a nice guy but he's a special snowflake and he doesn't get it.

I was 5 years older than my future BIL, and while he was in high school, I used to think I was more influential, but there was always a limit on how far that would go. FIL sided with me on all the trivial shite and would shite on me for anything important.
