[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's "old school" politeness that you don't call people who are old enough to be your parents, by their first name. They aren't our peers. Matter of your upbringing. I wish we had something else to call MIL.[/quote] This is why I really had a hard time calling my MIL by her first name, even though this is what she told me to call her. I just felt (and still feel) very disrespectful when I do this. My DH and I have almost been married 10 years. I was very relieved once we had a child so I could just call her, "Grammie"! That feels better to me! [/quote]
