Calling in-laws "mom" and "dad"?

I'm struggling with this. I really love my future MIL & FIL. FMIL is so sweet and is ecstatic about having a "daughter" given the fact that she just has 2 sons and always wanted a daughter. However my Mom died 5 years ago and she was my best friend. I'm an only child too. My FMIL is very mindful of the relationship I had with my Mom and how it's still so hard to not have her here anymore. She's even said she'd never want to or make me feel like she's trying to take her place. My Dad is still alive and now has a girlfriend with whom he lives and they say they basically feel like they're married. I will NEVER refer to her as Stepmother even If they ever do actually get married. But that's another story.

My parents always called each other's parents Mom and Dad. So I assumed one day I would to.

I have a feeling I'll end up calling my FMIL "Mom" at some point. As far as my FFIL, as fond of him as I am, I don't know if I'll ever call him "Dad."

I'm sorry if that wasn't very helpful.

Talk to your in-laws about whether they are comfortable with that. I wouldn't call my FMIL "mom" but she won't allow her own sons to call her mom so it wouldn't be an option anyways...

It's acceptable to go either way with this. Regardless what you choose to call them you are right to do so, provided all parties are okay with it.

I don't think I'll be calling my MIL mom. I do call his grandma "grandma".

I've never actually thought about this. I just call them by their first names. Though a few of my friends parents I call mom and dad.

H calls his parents by their first names, so I always have too. But now that we are married he's started to refer to his parents as my mom/dad (ex. "I can't believe you aren't making plans to go to Ohio for your mother's birthday," referring to his own mother). I love his parents so I will probably end up calling them mom and dad someday even though H and his brother don't.

I just call mine their names.

I will probably call mine mom and dad. As of now I call them by their fist names. When me and FH are talking we always refer to each other's parents as mom and dad.

I do it

Both of my parents have always referred to their in laws by their first names so I don't ever see myself referring to FMIL by "mom" and I definitely don't see FH referring to my parents by anything but their first names

I call them mom and dad now, and they call me their daughter. FFIL always wanted a girl but they had FH and decided to stop because they loved their little family. So, when we started dating, FFIL and I just got along really well, and we just love each other. He is one of the most important men in my life. My mom told me I should ask him to walk me down the aisle and FMIL said, "He would cry if you asked him. He would just cry." Not sure what I'm going to do because I have always wanted my mom to walk me down, so we'll see.

I/we call them Mimi and Papa because that's what the grandkids call them.

My mom calls my dad's mom "mom" but my FILs call their in-laws by their first names. I call my FILs by their first names by their request. I only have one mom and one dad. However, FH calls my dad, dad but my mom by her full first name. It's a running joke because my mom goes by Cindy but we all call her Cynthia because of the doll from Rugrats and sing "Cynthia she's a really cool dancer" and my mom dances lol it's quite funny really

I'll call my FIL mom d dad and they call me daughter. My parents have passed. But again my FML had a dream that I was gonna be the one to marry her son before she ever saw me in person... long story. They my parents now. Love them bunches.

My FH is really close with my family so he has parental type nicknames for them "mommy last name" and "papa last name" it's very sweet with just a dash of humor. I call his parents by their first names because that's what feels right for our relationship. I think you just have to do what feels right and natural for your relationship

I'm only calling my mom and dad that. I'll call them by their first names still.

My mother-in-law wants me to call her mom and even told a story at a family party once where she said I asked if I could call her mom. That never happened and I am not comfortable calling her that. I do appreciate her though but it just isn't in me.

My MIL calls me her daughter but I won't call anyone else mom or dad.

I call his grandpa "grandpa" and his aunt and uncle "aunt ____ or uncle ____", but I don't call his parents mom/dad.

I call my FILs mom and dad.

My step mom didnt call my dad's parents mom and dad and I didn't think anything of it. I feel like it's purely based on you and if you want to.

I don't have a relationship with my mother. I'm unsure if that plays anything into this but it is what it is.

I grew up in NY with my buddy Joe, we knew each other since 4th grade...and I thought it was odd that he called his parents Jim and Sue, but it was obviously mutually ok w all of them. Not sure even in current times that's a thing, but it definitely wasn't typical then. Both times I was engaged, I called them by their names because that's how they introduced themselves originally. It may have been different if i was 16, would have more likely been Mr. and Mrs.
