    • 1995, Janet Carsten, Stephen Hugh-Jones, About the house: Lévi-Strauss and beyond, pages 120, 132:
      the relation between co-parents-in-law focuses on the production of grandchildren […] the relation between co-parents-in-law as stabilized through shared grandchildren

Usage notes

  • Rare in conversation, especially in the singular form, the generic "in-laws" is generally used, with context left to disambiguate. If grandchildren are born, the term co-grandparents may be used if the focus is on the relationship through the grandchildren rather than though the married couple.
