I have a friend who is very
close to her daughter's mother-in-law.  The two mothers have trouble
explaining who the other is, when doing introductions. "This is Ruth, my
daughter's mother-in-law." Sounds odd, like my brother's cousin's son.
It's even harder for me, " This is Ruth, Linda's daughter's
mother-in-law."  Is there another name for mother-in-law?  Something
shorter?  If I just said "This is Ruth." , I would still have to explain
the connection in even more words.

"This is Ruth, whose son is married to Linda's daughter"?
