[quote=Anonymous][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] OP here. I did call both MIL and FIL this afternoon and asked them if they are ok with me calling them mom and dad. They are both perfectly fine with it. Thank you. [/quote]
