  • MY MIL is ace really lovely but I could never call her MUM. I think you only ever have one mum, would feel disrespectful to my own if I did. So in answer to your question I call her by her name x

  • I call my MIL Satan's Sidekick... Thankfully her and hubby aren't talking at the minute so I don't have to talk to her...

    I do sometimes call FIL Pops though... That's what hubby calls him, and my Dad's Dad so it doesn't seem wrong...
    A very proud Mummy to 3 beautiful girls... I do pity my husband though, he's the one to suffer the hormones...
    Krystal is so smart and funny and wonderful I am struck dumb in awe in her presence.

  • The witch. To her face, or not.
  • I would never call mine mum, i would feel like i was disrespecting my own mother.
    She would tell me not to anyway if even i did.
  • By her name. No disrespect to my MIL as I love her to bits, but I've already got a Mum. OH calls my parents by their first names.

    My MIL is great, we get on like a house on fire :)
    I would never call her 'mum' though, she's only 15 years older than me!!
