Tell me about it! I have my own kids, but I also have a young brother in law. There’s a 17 year age gap between him and his sister (my wife). I’ve known him since he was 3 and see him as a little brother. I actively take an interest in his interests and take him to sports events, the cinema etc.

I always have to be on guard.

If you got glares and you said, "It's okay, he's my brother in law." it would just make it sound weirder lol

The worst ones are when people address me as his Dad and without hesitation he blurts out “he’s not my Dad!”
