[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I call my in-laws by their first names. I have a Mom and a Dad. There's no insult to my in-laws intended, they just aren't my parents. [/quote] I think this is fair, but it is certainly the case that some ILs take offense to it anyway, as mine did. I think the tricker question is what to do in that situation. My pointing out that I didn't consider it offensive or mean it as offensive certainly did not resolve the dilemma.[/quote] Rock and a hard place then, because my mom would be furious if I called some other woman Mom!
