What do you call your MIL?

[meow]

I call her by her nickname, which is an abbreviated version of her name.

My Mum is dead but I still wouldn't call my MIL Mum, that would feel really awkward.

If I typed it, it would get turned into stars.

No, I actually call her by her name, or nickname, or Nanna. Not mum. Not ever

I call DH's parents by their first names. DH calls my parents by their first names unless hes being silly with mum then he calls her "mum". Same when he is referring to them - as in "mum came over today" meaning my mum as his parents dont call over.

My mum calls her inlaws (so my grandparents) Mother and Father but they all do. Both their sons and thier daughter in laws. Its just always happened. But dad calls his Inlaws by their first names

I call my MIL mum2 in messages, emails etc, bit when I chat face to face I use her first name.

As DH's dad passed away a number of years ago, he now has a step dad, we always use his first name.

I don't call my MIL anything. Like, there was a time I would have called her mum, but the time has passed.

My DH calls my mum mum, and she lives with us..so their relationship is good..

Sometimes I feel bad about not calling his mum ma, until she does or says something (else) stupid.

Nothing. Nothing from the day I met her. She never introduced herself, just made it known she knew who I was (she came into my work). When we broached the subject of what I should call her year's later, she told me I was to call her "DH's Mother" (obviously DH's real name). As both DH and I found that utterly ridiculous, I continued to call her nothing. Now there is no issue anymore, because we don't see her.

By their first names and DH does the same with my parents. I think even if we were super close it would be weird calling MIL 'mum' as she's just not my mum, but each to their own.

On a side note, I was getting really irritated when she constantly signed off as 'mum and dad' in my birthday cards, etc, so I made sure I addresed them as both mum & dad (from DH) AND by their first names (from me) in any cards I sent them. She soon got the hint.
