What do you call your inlaws?

[chocolatepuppy]

For many years after I married I avoided calling them anything. Eventually I called them by their names. I always wrote mom and dad on cards and such but never called them that. My MIL is gone now. I still call his dad by his name.

In the beginning I called them Mr and Mrs. ____ as that is how I was raised...and waited for them to tell me ..."please, call us_____. I finally realized they might ask me to call them something I wasn't comfortable saying so I switched to Walt and Wanda.

Never thought about this before but, I guess I called MIL nothing at all.
Husband's dad had already passed away so it was just her.When talking
about my MIL, she was referred to as Nana & my Mom was Grandma (surname) Husband called my mom by her first name.

I think this is a good question. It seems most of us did the same thing at first and tried to avoid calling them anything. I finally started calling my in-laws by their first names and also mom and dad. It just seemed to depend on the situation and the mood.

When I was married, I called my FIL by his first name. My MIL was not living so I didn't call her anything.

Hubby and I both use first names, but I have to admit I also tend to avoid calling them a name. Now that we have children, the grandparent names seem to be what they are called most often.

I call them Mom & Dad just like hubby does.

My parents are both gone, but I called them Momma and Daddy so no conflict for me.
