For those who have been married a while... Do you call your in laws mom and dad?

Do you call your in laws mom and dad? I just got married last Friday and my father in law keeps asking me "when are you going to call us mom and dad?" It's not that I don't want to, but it feels weird. I tried it out a few times while we were engaged but I'm so used to calling them by their names....

Thank you.

    Been married 18 years, together 23. I would absolutely never call my in-laws mom and dad.

    My mom and dad are the people who gave me life and brought me into existence, and they are the only people who get that title.

    (Also, I am sensitive to the fact that many people consider a non-biological parent, or even two non-bio parents, their mom and dad. The people who raised you also count as "bringing you into existence" as far as I'm concerned, because you exist as you do because of them.)

    I think it's weird and inappropriate for your in-laws to have said that to you and put you in that uncomfortable position.
