What do you call your GF/BF/spouse's parents?
I know a guy who recently married a female coworker's daughter. Being coworkers, they're on a first name basis, but now that she's his mother-in-law, she wants him to call her either "mom" or "Mrs. (so and so)", even at work.
He thinks this is weird since, according to him, everyone calls their in-laws by their first names anyway. I told him it's yet another odd cultural quirk of Hawaii that nobody here does that. Here, people usually say Mom/Dad and sometimes Mr./Mrs. He thinks that's totally bizzare.
So I'm wondering... what do you do?
