I was wondering what your daughter-in-law calls you or son-in-law calls you? Is it Mom, Mother, your first name, Mrs. and your last name? I'd like my daughter-in-law to call me Mom, but do not know if that is the right thing to do. I always called my mother-in-law, Mom but then my mother had passed away when I was a teenager.

Well I am a lady, not a man. It would not be right.

You should ask your daughter-in-law what she would like to call you. My mother-in-law wanted me to call her mother. I was never comfortable with it and when referring to her when speaking to others I always called her Mrs.+last name. Now I am a mother-in-law myself expecting my first grandchild very soon. My daughter-in-law asked me if she could call me by my first name. I gladly agreed. She does have a mother whom she calls Mom.

I am not yet old enough to think so.My son is only 10yrs old and nowadays it very hard to except anything.Though I call my mother Maa-its a bengali word.
