question about names

What do your dil's and sil's call you?  (to your face that is LOL)


I just sent an em to ds's fiancee with photos of xmas, etc and signed out Love, Mom.     I'm thinking that was OK to do, but then again,, maybe not?   I'm not really into first names and anyway it would not be something that's acceptable in Turkey (to call a mil by her first name) and I guess I could have waited til they got married but then again why... right.    hmmm  what do you think?

Hi there Suzane et al. Just thought I'd pop in here to see what's up at the sand box. Nice to see some old friends playing here.


My 2 dils and 1 sil call me by my first name. Either is fine with me. I also have step-children, which adds a whole other dimension to the IL name thing. All the grands call me grandma so I'm satisfied with that.


Is it ok if I hang out here sometimes?

Both DIL and SIL call me by my first name, which is fine with me. I called my IL's by their first names but Ray always called my parents mom and dad.


I think it's whatever everyone is comfortable doing.

I'll have to wait and see what she feels comfortable with and what is easy for her to pronounce...

Thanks Suzan. I have 2 books going at this time. A thriller by Cody McFadyen and Sarah P's book 'Going Rogue'. Enjoying them both.

I never knew what to call my first inlaw parents, so I didn't call them anything.


I called my second husband's parents Mom & Pop, but never felt comfortable calling them that. It was expected of me.


Now I have no inlaw parents.


My sons-in-law both call me Donna at my request.


The best thing to do is ask and discuss. Everyone has different feelings about such things according to who they are personally and/or how they were brought up.
