What do you call your in-laws?!

I continue to call them 'Mr' and 'Mrs' despite them encouraging me not to anymore....mr and mrs is just so damn easy....they've both asked me to come up with something else!

One thing is for sure, I won't be using Mom & Dad....

My BIL and SIL and I are in the 'out-law club'....

SIL calls MIL 'Ma' short for Mary not Mom...
BIL calls FIL 'Coach'.....

Help!

Re: What do you call your in-laws?!

I personally don't have it in me to call them by their first names. Its weird and stupid of me, I know, but I just can't.

Re: What do you call your in-laws?!

I always called them Mr. and Mrs. so it's been hard to stop. I REFUSE to call them 'mom' and 'dad' so instead of call them by their last name I shorted it to 'Mr. and Mrs. T'. My parents always had us call our friends names by Mr. and Mrs. and my parents friends by their first names so it's hard to break the habit PLUS I feel REALLY weird calling them by their first names.

Re: What do you call your in-laws?!

I generally don't call them anything ... but if i do, i use their first names

if i'm talking to someone else, i'll say 'Craig's mom' or 'Craig's dad' more often than not.

they will NEVER be mom & dad to me.

'You don't call me anything and you always wait until we're looking at you...come up with something and stop avoiding it'...so I call them Mr. and Mrs T and they hate it so I showed them!
