-----------QOTD 1/15-----------

Today's has to do with the fun topic of IN-LAWS (bum bum buuuuuuummmmm <---- thats scary music lol)

Do you now or plan to when you get married call you future parents and siblings in law Mom, Dad, Sister, Brother?

FH's dad passed away a few years ago, but i already call my FMIL 'Mom' and introduce my FSIL as my Sister.

just wondering if you all do the same now or will do later when you get married

ETA: i call all his aunts and uncles as my own aunts and uncles

Re: -----------QOTD 1/15-----------

I dont think i will ever refer to his mom and step father as mom and dad, i cant even refer to his brother as my brother...His sister i refer to as my sister (partially bc i am an only child and always wanted a sister plus i love that kid more than anything...) and i refer to all of his extended family as my aunts, uncle and grandma.

Re: -----------QOTD 1/15-----------

that is a tough one..I think I will start slow and just call them by their first names. It will be like Everyone Loves Raymond where she takes so long to call Marie mom that it causes weirdness

Re: -----------QOTD 1/15-----------

FH is an only child so no sister or brother-in-laws for me. his dad passed away 2 years ago but I used to call him by his first name. his mom i also call by her first name. his aunts & uncles are aunt blah or uncle blah. his grandmother i call Non like he & his cousins do.

FH calls everyone in my family by there first names except for aunts & uncles who are aunt blah or uncle blah.

my nephew & niece call FH uncle already.

FH's parents are already starting to sign emails and cards 'mom and dad', so not sure what it will be after the wedding.

i will not call my in laws mom & dad... unless they really feel hurt about it then i guess i will, but i dont think they would care.

Definitely not my fmil...i love his father and stepmother, but they are definitely not the type to call mom and dad, i just call them by their first names. i call his sil and brother, brother and sister, i love them. he has a sister too, and we are getting closer so i think eventually i will think of her as a sister.

Re: -----------QOTD 1/15-----------

I feel comfortable calling FIL's mom and dad, already refer to his brother and sister as my bro and sis. He might take a little more time to ease into it...but if he wants to my mom and dad would love it!!

Re: -----------QOTD 1/15-----------

I have one Mom and Dad...so I wont be calling his parents by that. His Mom always signs things...Ma...but i cant bring myself to call her that. It's just weird to me. So I dont call her anything! Weird, i know.

As for his Dad...there are a million inappropriate things I would like to call him...but Dad is the last thing I would call him.

His sister and brother will just be SIL and BIL...I am not close with them.

I do call all his aunts and uncles...aunt so and so etc

Re: -----------QOTD 1/15-----------

Good Question

Not sure about this. I have been calling my FFIL by his first name since FH have started dating. As for my FMIL - I have been calling her Mrs. since FH and I started dating (she never gave me permission to call her anything else!). Since FH and I have gotten engaged, my FMIL said to me 'Now that you are going to be my daughter, please feel free to call me by my first name or even 'mom', whatever you feel comfortable with'. So....not sure what I will end up with after we are married. It just feels odd to me to call anyone other than my parents 'Mom and Dad'. As for my FSIL - I am already calling her my sister. Love her :) Since I am an only child and she doesnt have a sister - we are having fun with calling each other sisters! As for FH - he has been calling my parents 'Mom and Dad', or by their first names, since we started dating - my parents love it!

Re: -----------QOTD 1/15-----------

Re: -----------QOTD 1/15-----------

Im probably just going to use thier first names. I dont really want to refer to them as mom and dad.

FUNNY story !!!!!!!!!!

His grandpa came from israel last year and i asked Fh what was his name he said 'SABA' ( which means grandpa in hebrew , which i didnt know at the time ) so i am walking around calling him Mr. Saba for the whole 3 weeks he was here .. not until after he left his uncle made fun of me and asked why do u call my dad Mr grandpa. I WAS SOO EMBARRSED .. i was like isnt that his name they were like no his name is Issac !!!

So i think i am sticking with REAL first names

Re: -----------QOTD 1/15-----------

I have nicknames for his family. But, I will probably start calling his mom, Mom, if she says it's okay. Which she will probably cry when I ask her. I am very lucky. I have a great FMIL. And since my own mother passed away 9 years ago, it makes it very special.

Re: -----------QOTD 1/15-----------

FH calls my parents by their first name. But I will call FFMIL/FFIL mom and dad. My mom calles my dads parents mom and dad so I gues I am just used to hearing that,. Plus FMIL is already calling me her 2nd daughter. And FSIL is like another sister and I love her son. I am going to be the fav Aunt

Re: -----------QOTD 1/15-----------
