[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I call them Ma and Pop, because I call my parents Mom and Dad.[/quote] My husband does a variation of this with my parents but not with their spouses, as the remarried when I was an adult and so I use their 1st names too, so it would be weird for DH to call them mom/dad or a variation. I don't use it for his stepdad either since DH uses his 1st name (same situation, not raised by this man). I use his mom's 1st name too. She is kind of stoic- not touchy feely so I know she could care less. I always envy my Indian friends who can call their inlaws a specific greeting or say "auntie/ uncle" for elders out of respect and get to side step this issue![/quote]
