My MIL and FIL are no longer with us, but I called them by their christian names. MIL did once say I could call her mum like her other DIL and SIL, but I politely told her I only have one mum. Sue |

I didn't call my in-laws anything face to face but referred to them as your Mum or your Dad. My own d-i-l calls me by my Christian name and that's what I would expect, after all I am NOT her Mum and wouldn't expect her to give me that title, although we have a good relationship and have many a good laugh together. I understand completely that you only have one Mum. |

I call them by their christian names, they have asked me if I want to call them mum and dad but I explained to them it didn't feel right and they were fine with me carrying on as I always have. They are good to me and treat me as one of their own but I can't do it. Jackie |

Difficult one this, especially for those on our fourth mother in law lol! First one didn't speak to me if she could avoid it so didn't call her anything (well that's not strictly true but you know what I mean) Second one had a stupid nickname that everybody used including her own children - so that was easy. Third one was a diamond, but I don't remember what I called her -probably Grandma because that's what the kids call her. Present one (and hopefully the last) is great - she signs cards and stuff 'Mum' and so I call her Mum - it works for us. Sheila |

My in-laws are long dead, but I used to call them Mr and Mrs W. It was how we were brought up nearly 50 years ago. My daughters in law call me by my Christian name. My husband calls my mum by her first name, I do too when I'm speaking to my children, especially as my grandchildren call her G.Grandma Mary. Liz |
