My son is getting married soon. I asked my future daughter-in-law if she would prefer to call me "Mom" or by my first name. Without missing a beat she said "mom".
I call my mother-in-law "mom", and my sister calls hers by her first name.
Just wonderin', I know it's been asked before so if this is a repeat for you, sorry, I don't mean to bore.

My daughter has been married twice. Her first husband called me "Mom", but her second husband calls me by my first name. It kind of hurts my feelings that he does not call me mom. I think he may feel that he would be disloyal to his mom if he calls me mom too.
It is funny but I didn't call my mother-in-law anything except Grandma.
I bet it made you feel good when your future daughter-in-law didn't hesitate to say that she wants to call you mom. She sounds like a sweet girl.
Best wishes on your son's upcoming wedding!

If she wants to call you mom thats what I think should be done. I call my mother-in-law by her first name because I never discussed it with my wife or them. I would like to call her mom but after six years it seems to odd to start now. I wish I had from the beginning!

Funny I kind of try to avoid addressing her altogether. I have never called her by either her first name or mom. I'm scared to make a decision. And I've been married for six years too.

I call my in-laws mom and dad simply because I love them and they treat me like a daughter.

when we used to talk to her & his father quite frequently, i'd usually avoid calling her anything.. like the first person lol but when i did address her, i usually said "mom" and we aren't even married yet.. (but have been together over 6 years..) but now we don't live w/ them anymore and don't see them quite so often b/c of family drama..

Hell no. She requested you to call her mom by using fact she's mushy with you and likes you, it quite is a sturdy factor. i do no longer call my better half's mom mom, yet I even have witnessed dissimilar people who do.
