Mother In Law & Father In Law?

xMissxZoiex · Mar 15th, 2010, 20:12 PM

Just a quick question, I have noticed a few of my friends call there OHs mum & dad, Mum & Dad... Even My Auntie calls her Ohs parents mum and dad

I found this really weird like i so couldnt even imagain calling my MIL Mum .. I mean i have a mum and i feel i would be insulting her as my mother by calling someone else mum?? I Just Call MIL by her name..

Do you call your OHs parents by there name or Mum & Dad?

Do you find it weird or is it just me?

xxxxxxx

i find it really weird, theyre not your parents so why would you call them that. on eastenders amira calls zainab mum and it just sounds weird. it would also be a bit confusing i think because you would have to keep explaining who youre on about.

Yehh and that would make it sound like you were with your brother lol =P Ewww

i find it quite weird too. i just call them by their names but we get on extremely well and i wish her a happy mothers day etc and treat her just like my own mum and she treats me like her daughter but were on first name terms and i want it to stay that way

i also think its a bit of an insult to your own parents, dont know if that just me though. i know that if when my babys older she starts calling someone else mum i would be quite upset.

Idk man, I call my MIL mom but I think thats because she treast me like I'm here kid. I mean the lady does my laundry because she doesn't wanting me falling down the stairs with " heavy" basket. I call my FIL Bill though, but I am not as close with as I am with her. "shrugs"
Then again in my house my mom took in my ex after he was in jail and calls him her "son" so maybe my house is weird.
