[PW] What's the word for? Co-inlaws or co-grandparents?

[Borg, Matthew]

Sensible response:

It seems that the term "Co-Grandparent" can be an extension of the term "Co-Parents" to describe the relationship between biological parents and step-parents.  In this case, co-grandparent refers to the grandparental relationships between the biological and step-grandparents.  One site suggests that;

"Co-grandparent refers to the  role  of any of a stepchild's living or dead step-grandparents and bio-grandparents."  (http://sfhelp.org/Rx/kin/grandparents1.htm (beware!  pop-up heavy web site, not to be too trusted I fear.)

Not so sensible response;

A mother-in-law that gets on well with the  other mother-in-law?  

In my family, that would be called a miracle.

hahaha etc.

Ben Franklin & I were both born on Jan 17th....centuries apart...but we
are birthday twins.

In the same vein, is there a word that describes the co-inlaws
relationship.
For example, my son's mother-in-law is a good friend of mine.
I am my friends daughter's mother-in-law.
My friend & I are the 2 grandmothers to a delightfully fun 3year old
little boy.
When I introduce my friend to someone who does not know that our
children are married to each other & that we are co-grandmothers, is
there a word or phrase that describes any of these relationships.

We are collectively at our wits' end.  What is the term for two people
who share a birthday?  It is not time twins or astro twins.  Before we
wave the white flag, I thought I should ask you.  Many thanks.
