Send to a Friend

Is there a non-awkward way to ask my boyfriend's mother what she would prefer to be called after this long?

Asked by KatawaGrey (21483points) May 13th, 2011

As some of you saw over here, I have been invited to my boyfriend’s sister’s baby shower by his mother. Here’s the problem. I have no idea what to call his mother. In all the time my boy and I have been dating almost three years she’s never actually introduced herself to me and it wasn’t until recently that she and I became anything resembling friendly. She is very odd and somewhat drawn into herself, but can be very sweet when she opens up a little.

She has a different last name than my boyfriend so I can’t just call her Mrs. Boyfriend’s-Last-Name and I feel like the time past long ago that I could just come out and ask her if she would prefer if I call her Jodie or Mrs. Smith. Names have been changed to protect the innocent.

I have asked my boyfriend what she prefers and he has no idea. Furthermore, I have asked him to ask his mother what she prefers to be called and he always forgets.

Please help!
