Both their first names.

Auntie and Uncle. It's a cultural thing. It took some getting used to for me, but now it rolls off the tongue pretty easily.

@sslm: I try to avoid it too! I call them Mr./Mrs. FirstName

I called them Mr an Mrs Lastname up until our wedding, they HATED it. Now I call them by their first names, which is slightly better to them. They'd prefer me to call them mom and dad, but I just can't.

Pretty much nothing! I know they want Mom and Dad but I'm just not there yet. I can't wait till they have grandparent names.

Now that we have a LO, I call them Abuelo and Abuelita. (Grandpa and granny)

Before I called them Suegro and suegra.

First names.

I call all of my husband's parents (2 bio, 2 step) by their first names.

I call his dad and stepmom by their first names. That's what they prefer. I call his mom by her first name, but I feel more awkward doing that, so I just avoid calling her anything.

DH says he calls my parents "nothing" hahaha. He is so awkward with stuff like that. He loves my parents, but he says he "makes sure they're looking me and I just start talking!"

I call her Umuni, which means "mother/mother-in-law" in Korean. DH calls my mom, "mom".

I avoid calling them anything, I really go out of my way to not have to call them something.

DH calls my parents by their first names, but that relationship is much easier.

First names. I did call them Mr and Mrs Lastname at first and waited for them to invite me to use first names. I wouldn't call them mum and dad, it would just feel too weird!

First names. DH was occasionally call my mom Mom but 95% of the time, he calls her by her first name.

His mom told me to call her Mom but I think Mom is a special title and belongs to my mom only. I love my MIL but I just feel like my mom is Mom.

Haha my husband does the same thing about going out of his way not to call them anything! I call his parents by their first name and he calls my parents Mom and Dad (their request) when he can't avoid it.

I call them by their first names - DH calls my parents by their first names. They told me after the wedding I could call them Mom and Dad but it felt weird to me...while the gesture is kind and I can understand it, I have a Mom and Dad.

I try not to call them anything. Everything just seems awkward. Maybe it will get better when they have grandma/grandpa names.

I call my mil by her first name

Due to my culture, I call my MIL, mom and my FIL the formal name for father in Korean. My inlaws are very traditional but my MIL prefers to be called mom, instead of her formal.

i call them mom and dad. my DH calls my parents mom and dad, too.

By their first names. My Mum refers to herself and my Dad as DH's 2nd parents, haha.
