what do you call your inlaws?

Re: what do you call your inlaws?

Luigi & Luigia (YES these are their real names..but her nickname is Gina, so I always call her Gina or our fav nicknames for each other are '*****' n 'hoe'.
Nice, right?

Re: what do you call your inlaws?

I am going to call my FMIL by her first name. My FH's father passed away. My mother is still alive and I do not feel comfortable calling my FMIL mom. She hasn't really talked about it with me or my FH. But for me it is uncomfortable. However, on my b-day card last year she signed it your 2nd mom. I didn't know how to react and also on gifts that she gives both of us, she signs it mom. I don't want her to get offended, but I'm all out of ideas.

Re: what do you call your inlaws?

Wanna hear something funny? I have never called them anything in three years!! Its pathetic actually. If I want to ask them a question I wait for them to look at me, or I go over and just start talking. Or if I'm talking to his mom about his dad I'll say 'Your hubby' I dunno what will happen after we are married!

Re: what do you call your inlaws?

I feel weird calling my future inlaws mom and dad since NO ONE can compare to my parents. So I will probably con't to call them Mr. and Mrs. (plus I don't really care for them that much!)

Re: what do you call your inlaws?

I call them by their first name, but I will refer to FFIL as Pop if I am talking to FI about him.

I am the same way
I always wait for them to look at me, and if I am talking to the other person I say your husband, your wife, or Kevin's mom/dad. The most familar I have gotten with the family is I will say Grandma Kruger or Grandma and Grandpa Woolsey when talking about them.

pains in the a$$es

no, actually they want me to call them mom and dad, which is really fine with me. I've had to call them Mr. and Mrs. for so long now, and it always felt so impersonal, that I'm looking forward to something more personal. (I've only known them for 7+ years!!!)

that is what i want to call mine.

Re: what do you call your inlaws?

As of right now we call each other's parents Mr. & Mrs. ___. After we are married, I have no clue. I could never imagine calling them Mom and Dad, and I don;t think my parents would like that anyway. Hopefully we will have children soon so they will become Nanny and Grandpa.

Re: what do you call your inlaws?

I call them all by their first names. I did the 'Mr.' and 'Mrs.' thing for awhile but one day I slipped and called FFIL by his first name. He didn't give me a 'look' or anything, so I figured it was okay

Re: what do you call your inlaws?

by their first name - I have known them since I was 5. Even then I was told to call them by their first names.

Re: what do you call your inlaws?

I avoid calling them anything most of the time. Not really sure what to call them...

Re: what do you call your inlaws?

I call them Mom and Dad. It took a while to get used to saying it though.

Re: what do you call your inlaws?

I think by first names,

Re: what do you call your inlaws?

Re: what do you call your inlaws?

mom and dad if i really really really have to, but usually nothing at all

ray is so lucky, he gets to play the armenian card and call my mom mama and my dad baba, in an armenian sorta accent

Re: what do you call your inlaws?

i call them by their first names, which is how they introduced themselves to me. i'm not averse to eventually calling them mom and dad, but it probably won't happen because we live so far from each other...
