Another Poll: What do you call your MIL?

siba1119 · March 2010

I saw this poll on the main nest page and wondered what you ladies do?[Poll]

LadyBird9 · March 2010

I avoid using any name... but if I have to call her something I'll call her by her first name...

siba1119 · March 2010

I call her by her first name b/c that what she told me to call her when we started dating. Its kind of weird because now she'll leave me voicemails and refer to herself as 'mom'.

natalee215 · March 2010

I voted "avoid using any name" which is why I try to do, but I call her by her first name when referring to her and occasionally when I've had to use something to get her attention.

I call her by her first name but she also refers herself as just mom. First names are just easier...you say mom in a crowded room and 30 people turn around.

I voted first name but prefer Hag from Hell.

kingpepsisgirl · March 2010

HAHAHA Oh I was wondering who would be the first to pick that one or at least admit it.

dominicandreamer · March 2010

I chose first name, but this has been really hard for me. I've always called my friends parents Mr. and Mrs. _____. So while we were dating that's exactly what I did. I'm trying to call them by their first names now that we're married and at their request. Sometimes though I jumble everything up and call them First name Mr. Last name or something weird like that.

This, but there are a few other choice words l'd like to call her.

sarlah · March 2010

This exactly.

Unfortunately, I am unable to participate Crying

I've never met my MIL nor have I ever spoken to her on the phone.....

Kahtie41 · March 2010

This exactly!

MissMex · March 2010

This , but iI think you all know what I'd rather call her...

siba1119 · March 2010

Right Hug

mrybrwn9 · March 2010

I call her Mrs. ____ but she would prefer if I called her Germaine (her first name).

To this day I still have a hard time calling my ex-MIL by her first name. I saw G Ma typically. Rarely will I say Karen. She sends me cards and signs them "Mom and Dad" which is really sweet.

I do use her first name when she is there. Generally it is your mother (she hates mother).

nataliejp519 · March 2010

Up until we got married I always called her Mrs. ____ b/c that's how she introduced herself to me when DH and I started dating. After we got married I said I'm going to call you by your first name, ok and that's how it's been ever since.

niuchick21 · March 2010

I clicked her first name, but thinking about it I think I really try not to call her anything. When I'm talking to BJ I say your mom and when I'm talking to most anyone else I say "BJ's mom"

hawaiianbride08 · March 2010

I just call my MIL her first name - but my mom, who has been married 28 years, still avoids calling my grandpa by name and did the same w/ my grandma until she died.

Butterflie6381 · March 2010

I'd tell you, but the Nestgods tend to ban people for using that type of language. Devil

Bridget_11 · March 2010

Well, the first thing that came to mind was not an option Stick out tongue

So I chose that I try not to call her anything.

Mrs.S_0909 · March 2010

This exactly!

alisonpilgrim610 · March 2010

I call her by her first name. Sometimes when talking to other people I refer to her as "crazy Nancy".

Ugh. It's not that I hate her....it's just that she is nuts and I don't have the patience to deal with her drama & BS.

kristinemarie7 · March 2010

I use both my in-laws' first names, but find it so funny what DH calls his parents. He calls them Grandpa and Grandma. When I asked him about it, he said it's because they're grandparents. But, they're your parents!
