How do you adress or call your parents in law

We also address our parents in law the way our husbands call them. We treat parents in law as true parents as well as they treated us their children too. I couldn't imagine how my husband, would feel hearing me calling his parents by their names. No offense however to those who do, maybe they have reasons for doing so or they are just used to doing it.

To each his own really! Here in India we call our in-laws as mummy and daddy (ma & papa)…but then daughter-in-laws are also to be treated as the daughter of the house. You see, India traditionally has the system of joint family where married men stay with their parents and kids grow under the guidance of grandparents. So its kind of difficult that you are staying with your in-laws regularly and for so long yet you don’t called them ma & papa…calling by name is of course out of question. We don’t call any elder by their name.

here in our country its a tradition and a "law"(meaning should be always done) that our spouse's parents should be called just like the way they call their parents. if we do not call them like our spouse's do, its like disrespecting our parents in law and not accepting them whole heartedly. but if you don't like your parents in law, you can call them in any names that you want, behind their backs, they will not know it anyway.hahaha! just kidding!

Hello Bebs. In China, it is our traditional custom to call our parents-in-law father and mother the way we call our own parents. It is considered to be rude to call them by their names. I always call my in-laws the way I call my parents. They are as dear as my own parents.

I call my in-laws by the same names that I call my own parents. I call them mom and dad. In turn, they also treat me like one of their own children. We accept each other as family.

Like you I too address them the same way that my husband would address them i.e. Mom and Papa.

Hi, Bebs!

My hubby has no problem calling my parents 'mom' and 'dad', but I still feel a bit awkward calling his parents that way. I seldom call them especially my father-in-law and only take the chance to talk to them when they are looking at me. I guess I am still not used to it.

Hi Bebs. I've never really been comfortable calling my in-laws mom and dad. To me, that is reserved for my parents only. So, I've always addressed them by their names. I did call my late father-in-law pa a few times, but only when we'd be joking around. Otherwise I'd call him by his name.

Happy mylotting!

Hi. I call my parents-in-law "Mom and Dad" because that's how my husband address them. That's my way of showing them my respect as their daughter-in-law.

I believe it's a matter of customs and traditions which may vary from country to country.
