I am the same!! I seriously don't think I have ever called FH mom by her name. It's been 4 years lol

I just use their first names.

I call her Ms. FirstName.... Even though she wants me to call her mom but I'm not!!

I call my future father in law by his first name, but my future mother in law and I have come to an agreement that I may as well call her mom, lol. It was a sweet moment xx

By first name future brother and sister in law.
The other day I call my FMIL mom 😊, she doesn’t mind and am ok with it because it sounds awkward to call her by her first name. We have reached that point, she’s being super good to me.

I call them by their first names and text and call often. In my phone they are mil and fil. Fh still calls my mom mrs holland

I have always called my FILs by their first name. I will probably never call them mom or dad bc they aren’t my parents. But FH and I have two dogs together and I do tell them “we’re going to grandma and grandpas!” And they seem to understand that lol

I use their first names. I call has grandparents grandma and grandpa because that's why they asked.
If his mom is talking about her husband, she refers to him as dad.

I call my FILs by their first name, but more often I’ll call his mom “momma” too. My FH often calls my parents mom and dad as well, but mostly by their first names as well!

For the first couple years it was more like "hey... you.." lol but now I call them by their first names.

Oh man!! That's an awkward convo for sure! If my MIL caught me off-guard like that I'd probably be like "um, no thanks?"

Me too!! I avoid directly calling them anything if I can, but if it's unavoidable I'd use their first names!

By their first name

Mrs. First Name and Mr. First Name. I'm Southern and old school, so I always feel I need to add the Mrs. and Mr. haha. My fiancé does the same with my parents.

I am in the exact same boat, even after 6 years. When they aren't around I refer to them as FH's mom or their first name. When I am around them I just try to avoid using names. I am not one of those people who will feel comfortable calling my inlaws mom and dad. I feel I will stay in this awkward stage until we have kids and can refer to them as grandma and grandpa.

I avoided calling my (now) FIL's and FH's grandparents by their names for a full year because they never explicitly gave me permission to use their first names. FH's grandparents actually told me to call them by their first names after we got engaged, so I was glad I never was super forward and called them by their names before that! It was so awkward.

My FH and I call our in laws just mom and dad on both sides. We’ve also been together for nearly 10 years and it’s just always been natural for both of us.

It was bad. Then they kept signing cards "Love Mom & Dad" and I had to have H talk to them about it because it made me so uncomfortable.

It’s mom and dad for me. I call his stepparents by their actual name, because that’s what he does too.
They were my parents when I needed them and they love being called that.

I call my FIL’s by their first names. i’m not sure if i’ll ever call them mom or dad, FH usually uses affectionate nicknames for them anyway unless he’s being serious so i never really hear “mom” or “dad” unless it’s coming from his younger sister

my FH calls my dad by his first name but will call my mom “mom”, which i adore
