Title/ status. Prompted by a thread about widowhood.

As an only child, I’ve never been a sister, niece or cousin - no regrets there. My friends are my extended ‘family’. Doubt I’ll get to be a GGM. I’ve been a bridesmaid a couple of times, if that counts.

I’ve been all of those things, including a sister, except a GGM. I can’t think of any other ‘titles’.

Apart from widow and GGM, I have had all of those titles plus sister, Goddaughter, 2nd cousin, great neice and great aunt. I've also been a girlfriend and a bridesmaid.

I have also been a friend

I was a DD, GD, sister (big and little), niece, cousin, wife, mother, grandmother etc.

Apparently, I was entitled to call myself Staff Nurse although I never did as I never worked as one.

According to the local chip shop and some restaurants, cafes and several shops I can call myself a senior citizen.

Oh I forgot OAP!!
Also ex MiL x2!!

Oooh, I'm an ex Mil x 3.

All of the above, plus I am a GG aunt, and also a step-GM.

I'm also a Great great aunt and a step grandmother - coo it's complicated.

Granddaughter, daughter, sister, cousin, aunt, wife, mother, great-aunt, great-great-aunt (😲), sister-in-law, step-aunt and step-great-aunt, mother-in-law, grandmother.

So many hats!

Ps how do other posters refer to their DILs' and SILs' parents?
I don't mean face to face, we use their first names, but if mentioning them to others?

I've been a:

Daughter
Sister
Mrs
Ms
SIL
Grandmother
Aunt
Great aunt
Niece
Step daughter

I say my daughter's (or son's) Mother-in-law (or father-in-law).

I say my daughter's (or son's) Mother-in-law (or father-in-law).

Yes, me too.

I have heard The Outlaws as a suggestion!

Well, of course I was a Niece too and a God-daughter and God-mother.

And, as my lovely God-father said - a dear little thing.

And Great-niece

So many titles.

Anyone else been a Concert Mistress? (I am also a lurker or quiet corner reader!)

Sorry, Concert Mistress is not a proper response for this thread!

We have 2 daughters out law but I ignore that complication.

I have been most of the above except GGM or concert mistress.

A recent acquaintance said she was looking forward to being Mrs J. When I queried this, she explained that she was looking forward to the time when both she and her husband were retired, to spend time as a couple, not as anyone else’s anything
( mum, daughter etc).

Llamas99 I think that counts as a title 😊 and if not a title, then definitely as status!
