[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP. Wow, I didn't realize there was such resistance to being called "Mom and Dad!" My parents, both white Americans-- though from VERY different backgrounds-- always called their ILs Mom and Dad. My husband is Asian and we call each other's parents Mom and Dad (or the equivalent) and it's totally natural for everyone. I guess I knew some white and other people called their ILs by their first names, but that would have been really tough for me to get used to. [/quote] It would be tough for me too. I actually don't know any white Americans who call their ILs by first names. Is it a class thing or regional? We're solidly MC/UMC from the Mid-West and New England. Everyone I know calls their ILs Mom and Dad.[/quote]
