Is she my MOther-in-law alreadY?

Question

when ppl ask me who she is, i just say "oH she's my mother in law" then ppl assume im already married, and i'm not.

Answer 1

She is only your mother-in-law once your married,the best way to refer 2 her is my partners mum. It is ok 2 call her your mother in law b4 your married (i used to with my now mum in law) as long as u dont mind people assuming that your married.

Answer 2

When you use the term, "mother in law", people are always going to assume you are married because that's what it means. Can you just introduce her as your boyfriend / significant other's mother? That would eliminate the confusion.

Answer 3

She is not your Mother-in-law. IN-LAW specifies a legal contact involved-in other words married.

Answer 4

no she not your mother in-law until you actually marry her child
