Because the referred to themselves as "Mom & Dad" it's what I sort of call them. Mostly though I try to just look at them when I want to talk to one.
I would prefer their first names though.
I think if I do go back to speaking to them ( as it's been almost 6 weeks & I have goven the silent treatment due to family issues) I will call them by their first names.

mom and dad.....
ETA: we are both very close with our parents and love them very much. In our family/culture, NOT calling the inlaws mom/dad is disrespectful.....
Ditto this. I called my IL's Mom & Dad before we were married - it was just easier to get their attention and such. It took my husband a little while to get used to calling my parents Mom & Dad, but he's fine with it. If he had a problem with it, he would have let me know. Our parents have no problem with either of us calling the other Mom & Dad.
We are both very lucky in that both sets of parents treat us like another son/daughter.

I call them Mom and Dad - only b/c MIL told me too and very close friends of the family also call them Mom and Dad. So it would have been wired if I was the only calling them by their first names.
DH calls my parents by their first names

I don't call DH's mom anything. She's slowly gettin cut out of our lives.
DH's dad calls himself "Dad" on the phone, but I call him Frank..
My parents- DH calls "Mom and Dad". They told him he could and that's what it's been always.

Re: Spinoff to my post- what do you call your in-laws? (poll)
I wait for them to turn around and then speak to them. LOL I am in the akward stage. I have the problem saying Dad bc I lost my father when I was 15 years old. I could call my MIL by mom but I don't want to disrespect my FIL by not calling him Dad. I spoke to both of them abotu this and they understand it. So no hard feelings.

Re: Spinoff to my post- what do you call your in-laws? (poll)
I don't think I have ever addressed them, I just kind of start talking. But we don't see them too often. I would call them by first name if I did though.
I think they want me to call them mom and dad but I am not comfortable with that at all.
My husband calls my parents by their first names.

I call them by their first names.
Is it weird taht I actually would've liked to have inlaws that I could call Mom and Dad? The relationship is just not there. Maybe it's because my dad always referred to my mom's parents as Mom and Dad and I knew they meant a lot to him...

This i sadorable, it's just so Rhald Dhal.
I call them by their names.
It took awhile for me to decide on that, but when MIL calls, she says "It's Rosemary", so that seals the deal.
I call his grandmother Grandma, though.

Re: Spinoff to my post- what do you call your in-laws? (poll)
lol so far, i haven't really had to call them anything... i just kind of start talking to one or the other- LOL. but, if i do call them something, i use their first names. MIL will sign e-mails and cards " mom C" ( her first name starts with a C), but i'm just not comfortable calling anyone besides my real parents mom or dad. DH calls my parents by their first names, and they're cool with it.
