What do you call your ILs?
Yes, I snitched this from another board, but I'm curious.
I call my inlaws by their first names. It's a little weird, but less weird that Mr. and Mrs. J, and I will never call them mom and dad.
DH calls my parents by their first names as well.
What do you do?

Sort of a mix of first names and Mom & Dad. I call Rodgers' mom Mama Esther when I'm talking about her, but I don't call her anything when I'm talking to her. I call his dad Rodgers' Dad because I never met him. Rodgers calls my mom Mama Terri and dad Rick or just Dad.
First names definitely
Lol, it goes back and forth. It's almost an awkward situation like I don't know if his parents want me to call them mom and dad, so usually when talking to them I try to avoid using anything..
I know my mom prefers DH to call her mom, I can see DH's mom wanting me to call her mom but idk about his dad.
I'm sure down the road it'll be more comfortable calling them mom and dad.

I call MIL either by her first name only or Mama "first name", but I only every call FIL by his first name. I don't think I'll ever be comfortable calling them Mom and Dad.
DH calls my Mom Mama "last name" and he calls my Dad Mr. "first name." These are the names he started out using years ago and they've stuck.

I go back and forth between their first names and Mama and Pop.
DH calls my parents by their first names, except for my mom. He calls her Mama and it melts my heart a little bit : )

First names
Same with H to my parents.
I call my MIL 'MomMom' and StepFIL 'Pop' ... They have grandchildren and that's what the grandkids call her. Now this is just for the last few years. For the first 4 or 5 years I called her Ms. Nancy and him Bill.
DH calls my mom and dad by their nicknames... Mooky and Pooky. Pooky (my dad) has always been Pooky to me so when I told DH this he said "So what do I call your mom, Mooky?" It has stuck ever since!
Do you want the REAL answer or the PC answer? :P
When my FIL was alive, I always called him Papa - just something that started when H and I first got together and stuck. I call my MIL "Mom" just because it feels weird to call her by her first name. I rarely call her that though - I try to avoid it since, given our history...yeah.
