Im not married yet, but Ive been pondering this question for awhile. They say one you have kids its much easier. You can just refer to them as grandma and grandpa!

Re: what do you call your inlaws
I call them by their first names. It seemed strange at first to me but luckily, my husband's sisters are married and their husbands call our in-laws by their first names so it was easy. Personally, i would never call them mom & dad- those are my parents. My husband calls my parents by their first names too.

Re: what do you call your inlaws
Sometimes Mom and Dad, and sometimes by their first names. They like when I call them Mom and Dad and I would call them that...but my DH calls them by their first names so it is strange for me to call them Mom and Dad when he doesn't even do that!

Re: what do you call your inlaws
I still call them Mr and Mrs XXXX. It feels too formal now, but I can't bring myself to call them Mom/Dad. And I just don't feel right calling them by their first names

Re: what do you call your inlaws
Nothing and nothing... lol... no seriously I do not call them anything... if I would call on the phone (which I don't plan on doing so) no matter who picks up I would start with 'Hi it's Lauren', none of this Hi Mom or Dad... I have my own parents thank you!

Re: what do you call your inlaws
i call mine by their first names and my DH calls my parents by their frist names.....but i always thought it would be 'Mom and Dad'. That's what my parents called my grandparents....weird! I dont care either way.

Mom and Dad, if I have to, but otherwise I try not to call them anything. My MIL always makes fun of me about this.

Re: what do you call your inlaws
We live with them.... I try not to say anything, and try to talk to them directly... instead of saying 'Mrs. King what do you think?' I would just say 'What do you think?' When I am talking about them to someone else I say Mr. and Mrs.
