Re: What do you call your MIL?

I call my MIL by her first name. I called her Mrs. XXXX for almost 7 years until my SIL's boyfriend started calling her by her first name. Then I asked myself "What the heck?...I've been around for 7 years! I'm calling her by her first name." Usually, I don't refer to her any anything. I just say "hello" when i walk in or when i call the house. She signs "mom" for everything but I'm not comfortable calling her "mom"

i rarely call her anything Chat Icon
she does not feel like a "mom" to me but at the same time I feel silly calling her by her first name, so I do my best to avoid calling her anything...



Same here..........and it's uncomfortable to meChat Icon

I call her by her first name.

While she is a tremendous help, great with the kids and treats me very well, no one, but no one on this earth will ever take the place of my deceased mom.
Chat Icon so therefore, she will never be "mom" to me.

My MIL is deceased and I miss her tremendously. She died before 6 months before our wedding and sadly never met her grandchildren. Chat Icon

I know sometimes MIL's can be pains in the tooshies but the alternative s*u*c*k*s.

When she was alive, I called her by her first name or Mom.
