[quote=Anonymous]My mother was raised in an aristocratic family where she had to curtsy and kiss hands, and of course always use the formal "vous" when addressing her parents or any other adult. So... I understand that your ILs are unusually hung up about this, and it's making you uncomfortable, but I think it's all about tone. If your ILs are punitive or aggressive in their tone of voice to your son, then I would really not have much contact with them at all. That would be a deal-breaker. If they try to correct your son's language kindly, then I would go along. It's not the words, but the intent behind them that is the most important. [/quote]
