[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I prefer to be called Mom because it's how it's always been for people in my generation and in our lives. When I sign a card to my daughter and SIL, it's, Love Mom & Dad, not Love Mom/Name & Dad/Name. It used to be a sign of family welcome when you were asked to start calling your in-laws Mom & Dad. I'm guessing it's not the same anymore, though. I completely agree that no specific title is more indicative of the closeness of the relationship.[/quote I call my inlaws by their first name, but I still address cards to them as "mom and dad" because that's how DH refers to them and he's signing the card too. If you send a christmas card to the entire family, it's fine to put mom and dad. It's probably better to put grandma and grandpa, but mom and dad is fine. I would have liked it if they told me to call them whatever I prefer- mom or Barbara.[/quote]
