It'll be so awkward BUT I think I'll call them Mom and Dad... Ewww it's gonna be super strange! I guess I'd feel more comfortable with that than their first names or Mr./Mrs...

I have known them for a while... My FH and I already call our in-laws mom and dad. It just felt comfortable, they are great people and have been there for me for a while..

I have been calling my FFIL Pop since the day FH and I moved in together.

Once we got engaged, my in-laws requested that I call them Mom and Dad.

I will and already haved started calling them mom & dad. as they have accepted me as their daughter a long time ago. No one can or will ever replace my mom... and she knows that!

I already call them mom and dad. . .my mommy knows though that she's my one and only even if I do call FMIL mom.

I call my parents Mom and Dad. FH calls them by their first names.

I call his mom Momma Donna (she calls me Lex) and his grandparents Grandma and Grandpa. (His grandpa calls me Lil'Bit)

When we got engaged FH's grandmother told me to start calling his parents Mom and Dad but I can't seem to bring myself to do it. I don't call them anything either...just wait till we make eye contact and then I start talking. FH calls my parents Mr. and Mrs.

Re: How do you and how will you...

I address FFIL as 'Pop' because that's what FH calls him. It works out good because I would have felt weird calling him Dad.

Re: How do you and how will you...

I will continue to call them by their first names and FH will do the same with my parents.

Re: How do you and how will you...

their first names. his parents dont deserve to be called mom or dad. maybe his dad but definetely not his mom. besides. she calls herself her name to her daughter in law already. not mom
