Calling inlaws "Mom" and "Dad" - does this still happen?

Asked by Seelix (14952points) May 13th, 2011

This question was inspired by @KatawaGrey’s question about how to approach her boyfriend’s mom regarding what name to call her by.

My parents called their inlaws Mom and Dad. I’ve asked a couple of friends, and their parents did the same thing. However, none of my married friends do this (they’re under 40).

Does anyone under the age of 50 call their inlaws Mom and Dad, or is this an outdated practice?

What do you think about calling your inlaws Mom and Dad?
