[quote=Anonymous]My ILs are not from the same country, and I call them by their grandparent titles in their language - also made easier because they're older than my own parents. My husband usually tries to avoid calling my parents anything, but when he does, he calls them by their first names, but started with the formal mode in my parents' language, which they then asked him to drop. Lots of cultural sensitivities to navigate, but at the end of the day, everyone gets along. My husband couldn't care less about birth hierarchy, where children of younger siblings address their firstborn uncles by a more respectful title, but his younger brother is very attached to this tradition (he's an older uncle through his wife). Since I'm foreign, and my kids are mixed and living in the US, thankfully we're not expected to remember which prefix to use!!![/quote]
