If that is their opinion, dont count on changing it. Fortunately for you, you only married their daughter and not them, so I dont see why this would be a problem.
I agree with you a some of your points. However, although you marry the daughter you also marry into the family. In this case the spouse is the one who has the problem. She is caught between supporting her husband while keeping peace with her parents over the issue. This is not a good thing for a newly married couple to have to deal with. To illustrate the point imagine the same situation if this were an episode of "All In the Family" only not so funny when it's real and there are no script writters to make a happy ending. This can be dealt with but will take some time, patience, understanding (on the part of Hachiman), and education. The education will have to begin first with Hachiman and wife. Blu(Ontario) has given an excellent recommendation for a place to start.
