[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. [b]It used to be a sign of family welcome when you were asked to start calling your in-laws Mom & Dad.[/b] 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'm Vietnamese and this is culturally similar. My white DH call my parents mom & dad. My in-laws prefer their first names; and think it's odd if they hear my DH address my parents differently. Honestly, I had to get used to calling them by first names at first - it all works and we're all close.[/quote]
