Things fathers-in-law want to tell their daughters-in-law but can't

The relationship between fathers-in-law and daughters-in-law is not discussed as often as we discuss mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law. It can be a very sweet relationship that involves love and concern but a lot of times fathers-in-law do not express a lot of things that go on in their head. We got four dads-in-law talking and here are some of their confessions

My daughter-in-law is like a friend to me and so many times I have been wanting to ask her if she could chart out a plan for me in Thailand, but how do I tell her that it would be sans my wife? I have not uttered a word yet, but I hope I can someday and just go.

My daughter-in-law is a very cool person. By cool, I mean open-minded, strong as a personality, and a happy soul.
