Call them MIL[mother in law] & FIL[father in law]... sometimes when you say it too fast, they think you're calling her MILF and him IL which sort of works out too.

[queenrobot]

I call my in-laws Mom and Dad, all of the daughters in law do. My husband refers to my parents as Shayne and Miss Allene, their first names.

 

[theknight571]

I call my in-laws by their name... but then so do their kids.

My wife calls my mom and dad by their name, or by the nicknames our son gave them.

One of my brother-in-laws calls my mom and dad, mom and dad, which I find a little creepy... although I find him a little creepy too. lol

 

[phoenix79]

When they or my wife are around, Bob and Terry, if not, ass-hole and bitch...

 

[Gothgar]

By their first names, or grandma and grandpa

23 years later and we still miss my father-in-law. GREAT man.
I was the son he always wanted...but my brother-in-law never could be.

My mother-in-law however...is still the Wicked Witch from the West... even though she's been dead for over 18 years.

While they were alive however, I called them both by their first names.

My wife always called my mom..."Mom."
She was the daughter my mom never had but always wanted.

From the Wizard of Oz's story perspective or Wicked? Hahaha Sorry. I just watched Wicked again so I think of Elphaba as a protagonist =P

 

[BoomerD]

Don't think I've ever watched "Wicked," so I can't make that comparison, (was it around ~20 years ago?)

She wasn't too bad while the FiL was alive, (he kept her in line) but after he passed, she went off the deep end.

I've been married over a year and I'm still trying to figure this one out. My wife's father is very proper and told her it was rude to call other people's parents by their first name. Because of this I have never called him by his first name. No way I would ever call him or my mother in law 'mom' or 'dad' either. I've been pretty good at avoiding ever needing to address either one directly so far.

Even when my father in law calls me he will say "hi Alienwho, it's [my wife's] dad".

Hahha, I know what you mean man!


You do this number when you want to talk to someone...

"Hey, .... hey, ya ! Whats for dinner?"


Just make noises till they look! ROFL!!!


I do that too.

I wish I had the nerve to call them that to their face.

 

[KaChow]

MIL: "Mom"

FIL: "That dead guy"

 

[Nohr]

By their first name for her parents & step-parents.

 

[EKKC]

"YO!"

 

[AreaCode707]

"Your dad" and "your mom". As much as possible I avoid speaking directly to them, partly because I don't know what to call them and partly because we don't speak the same language.

They acted really reprehensibly toward me and my husband when we got married because I'm not the same culture/flavor of religion that they are, and I've never been very comfortable with them. Definitely not comfortable enough to call them "mom and dad" or any variation thereupon.

I'm sure they'd be offended if I called them by name, so I try not to call them anything at all.
