YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO CALL HER SOMETHING???





NO seriously. Grandma or first name. I was calling her "hey you" and she told me to call her mom. I would just talk to her, but she would just ignore me until I called her something...I chose Arlene. HEr other dil calls her mom and she was married after me.

Re: What do you call your MIL?

I don't call her anything. If I'm not near her I'll have someone get hr attention for me. It's so stupid. She wants me to call her mom and I want to as well ut I feel wierd. I love her so much and she's wonderful but the word doesn't come out of my mouth.

First name, or Grandma, if I'm talking to DS



Same here. My feeling is - she's not my mom, so I'm not calling her that.

Re: What do you call your MIL?

I call her by her first name. She said I could call her whatever I want so I chose to call her by name. Now that DS is here, I sometimes refer to her as grandma.

i rarely call her anything Chat Icon
she does not feel like a "mom" to me but at the same time I feel silly calling her by her first name, so I do my best to avoid calling her anything...



same exact thing hereChat Icon

Just curious...

I call her by her first name. I don't even remember if she ever told me to call her mom, but I probably wouldn't anyway (just me). My mother called her MIL mom, so it doesn't seem foreign to me, but still, I'm just not comfortable. I do love her to pieces though...

What about you...

Re: What do you call your MIL?

i call my MIL by her first name, I always have. im not close enough with her to feel comfortable calling her mom. Sometimes I refer to her as nanny since thats what my kids call her. I try to avoid calling her anything, unless i call her house, and my FIL picks up and i have to ask for her (which is extremely very very very rare anyway)
