My MIL joked that she doesn't want to be referred to as mother in law, she just wants to be called Mom. And I still call her by her first name when I talk to her.
I don't think she's that serious about it, but I'm wondering, am I being rude? I just can't get used to calling anyone else Mom other than my own.

nope---call her by her first name. like others said--i have one mother and thats it. no one else will ever receive that title.
Same here. MIL has asked me to call her by her first name. We happended to be alone at the time, so there wasn't a similar request from FIL. I fear FIL will ask me to call him 'Dad,' which I feel uncomfortable doing.

Re: Do you call your MIL Mom?
You girls prob. wont believe this..but...I havent called my mother in law anything..not even her name. I always try to avoid calling her...surprisling enough its worked for 6mths now lol. I feel ackward calling her 'mom' even tho I know she would love it....and I feel if I call her by her first name she would feel sad that I didnt call her mom hahah...so I dont call her anything..lets see how long I can keep this up.

Re: Do you call your MIL Mom?
No, I don't and I don't know if I ever could. I'm so close with my mom and I just don't think I could call anyone else that.

Re: Do you call your MIL Mom?
I do not call her mom to her face.. I fill out our cards to 'Mom', but its hard for me to call her mom because I lost my real mom years ago (no excuse, I know) and shes not super warm and fluffy. My mom was the TOTAL opposite. I dont associate MIL with a mom figure.. I just want to shake her and say 'its okay to show love and relax!!'
It isn't rude at all. Its a personal preference!

Re: Do you call your MIL Mom?
I call MIL Mom and she loves it!! The funny thing is I call my Mom 'Nana'. My niece used to live with us and always called her Nana so now I call her that too.
