I called my mother in law by her first name, as does my daughters hers. My son in law also calls me by my first name. I’d assumed that was the norm, but maybe not?

How is a mother-in-law addressed?

For example, upon returning from honeymoon is a new daughter-in-law told something like

"Now you are married you can call me Auntie Jane if you like."

And then she is treated the same as a niece, with cards signed

Love from Auntie Jane

So she is not then regarded as "the mother-in-law".
