QOTD: Are you calling your FMIL and FFIL, Mom and Dad?

I don't have a FMIL (she passed away), but I am not calling FFIL Dad. Or at least I don't plan on it...What about everyone else?

definitely calling them mom and dad. It makes them SOOOO happy and that makes it worth it for me :) FH already calls my mom, mom. It's so cute

No, I currently call them by their first names and will continue doing that after we're married.

No way- even her kids call her by name when they talk about her. There is nothing mom about her to me.

I call my FILs by their first names and have been for years, so I think it will be most natural to keep it that way after the wedding.

Re: QOTD: Are you calling your FMIL and FFIL, Mom and Dad?

Yes, I guess I have to. My FH has already mentioned that he will be calling my parents 'mom &dad' so I suppose its only right. However I hate the idea.

Re: QOTD: Are you calling your FMIL and FFIL, Mom and Dad?

I am not, although I never found it weird when I have heard other people do it. I just can't picture myself doing it.

Re: QOTD: Are you calling your FMIL and FFIL, Mom and Dad?

yup, i already joke around calling my fh's mom 'mom.' it's okay now, but it'll probably be weird when both mothers are in the same room.

Re: QOTD: Are you calling your FMIL and FFIL, Mom and Dad?

I am on the fence with this. I am so close to losing my father to illness that I don't think I am ready to use that name towards someone else just yet. I think it will be something to ease into for both parents.

My FMIL wants me to call her by first name and I don't think I call my FH's Dad any thing.....don't really know what to call him actually!!

Re: QOTD: Are you calling your FMIL and FFIL, Mom and Dad?

I don't think I can do that. I have wonderful parents (FH also does), and just can't see myself calling them mom and dad. With that said I don't feel right calling them by their first names either. If at all possible I try not to address them b/c I'm not sure what to call them. My FBIL calls FH's parents Mr & Mrs which drives me nuts b/c I think it is so formal, we are family!! He has known them for over 10 years. I've been told it is a southern thing and is respectful, I'm just not used to it.
