[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Very close, but only say "Mom took us ..." to my siblings. Not even to my cousins. [/quote] This. I have some friends who just say "Mom" or "Dad" and it always makes me do a double-take.[/quote] Now, I can’t stand when my MIL talks to me about my mother and/or refers to my mother using her first name. MIL (to me): How’s Doris? Me: Great. She heading to the beach for a few days. MIL: Please tell Doris I said hello. [/quote] Sorry this PP above and I didn’t state clearly what bothers me…maybe just the stilted way she uses my Mom’s first name? MIL rarely uses the term, “your mom” when referencing my mother to me but says my mom’sfirst name instead. Is Doris hosting Thanksgiving? Would Doris like to join us? We saw Doris at the garden center, we saw Doris the other day Yes, we are all in the same town. [/quote]
