My sons' partners (past and present) have always used my forename. I don't think I ever called my MiL anything but 'you'! She and FiL thought I would call them 'mum' and 'dad' but I couldn't bring myself to do that. Luckily we didn't see them very often as we lived in the Midlands whereas they were in the south. I remember my dad addressed my mum's mum as Mrs H but mum called his mum, Granny P.
Have you stopped buying papers?
