What do you call your in-laws?

Question

They didn't raise me so I find it super hard to call them what I call my own parents, even though I completely understand the respect factor in it. I try not to refer to them as anything LOL unless I have to - then I just say their first names. They never have told me what to call them after several years of being married to their son. 😂

Answer

I try not to call them 😂 talking to my husband I say "your mom, your dad" when I want to get their attention I just look at them and speak a little louder haha. 
I feel bad for not calling them Mom and Dad because I look up to them as one but out of respect to my own parents I just can't get over calling someone else Mom & Dad

Answer

Answer

When I'm with them *Make very direct unmistaken eye contact* " Hey! so... ext ext." I hate it, it makes me feel weird to call them anything lol. If I'm talking to my boyfriend I say *your mom* If I'm talking to my son *grammy*

Answer

I go out of my way to make sure I don’t have to call them anything. They told me to call them “mom” and “dad” but I’m not comfortable with that. There is also no way in hell I’d get away with calling them their first names.

Answer

Omfg, I do the same! I just never call them anything, lol. If I'm talking to his dad, I just say like "oh how is your lovely wife" or something like that. I cannot call them by their first names, it's too weird. I'm from the South, so it feels wrong. But I've also been with my husband too long to call them Mr and Mrs lol.

Answer

I call my in laws by their first names, but my husband calls my mother Momma C, since her name is Cathy. Though lately we call them Gigi and Papa most of the time because of my nephew and our new daughter

Answer

I don’t call my father in law anything. He told me I could call him Dad, that’s not gonna happen and calling him Rob seems too weird 🙅🏼‍♀️

Answer

Haha I’m so glad I’m not the only one who doesn’t call them anything! Made me laugh how many commented saying the same thing 😅
