[quote=Anonymous]My in-laws never out right said what they wanted to be called, but would sign Cards Mom & Dad. I just called them by their first name every time we were together and eventually they changed their signature to their names. My mom, from the first time they met and on the day we got married, told my husband to call my parents by their first name. They loved him and would be parent-like, but they were not his Mom and Dad. If you do talk to them, definitely let them know that you love and respect them but that in your family the tradition was to never call anyone but your actual parents Mom and Dad. And that you would be uncomfortable going outside of that tradition, especially with your parents still being alive. And while you were sensitive to their feelings, you were also taking into account your parents feelings when making this decision. [/quote]
