[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm from a different culture than DH. In the culture I was raised, it's beyond disrespectful to the point of unthinkable to call your ILs anything other than some form of "mom and dad". I know my ILs want to be called by their first names, but I simply can't bring myself to form the words it's so deeply ingrained in me. It would feel like calling them "a$$h0le" and "b1t**". I simply cannot bring myself to do it. I basically have avoided addressing them directly for 8 years of marriage now. Crazy, I know.[/quote] haha. That's like me, except my in-laws are immigrants from a country with strict and complicated rules about titles and hierarchy. I'm American and was pushing 40 at the time, and they tried to make me call them Mommy and Daddy, which felt about as natural as having them try to diaper me. [/quote]
