#Father-in-Law

A father-in-law claims the authority to put your spouse on trial and burden the next generation with grandiose expectations. He stands guard at the gate of the family prison, believing every unsolicited piece of advice is his divine right. Sometimes he arrives armed with a portable grill under the guise of affection, waging a subtle campaign called "bonding." Expertly blurring the lines between obligation and gratitude, he wields appreciation as a tool of control.
