Hi! Can I Call You Dad?

January 7th, 2009 @ 5:53 pm by Mrs. Powder Puff

This is a topic that I’ve been musing over for quite a while. Ever since Mr. Puffy and I got engaged, to be exact. And I would like someone else’s input besides the voice in my own head (”There’s only one… that speaks English.” Bonus BFF points if you can name that quote!).

The question that’s been the source of so much angst? What to call…

The Future In-Laws

March 6th, 2008 @ 2:31 pm by Mrs. Toucan

I am super, SUPER fortunate to have future-in-laws that I not only get along with, but really, really like! Just the other night, I had a quick question for my FMIL. Mr. Toucan was out playing trivia with his work buddies, so I decided to just call her up myself. The “quick question” should have only been a 2 minute phone call, but we ended…

Be My Friend, Not My Mom.

January 28th, 2008 @ 4:57 pm by Mrs. Lovebug

If you had to choose one word to describe your relationship with your future mother-in-law, what would it be? What would you want it to be? For me, being able to answer this question truthfully has been one of the greatest things to come from planning our wedding.

As a child, Mr. Lovebug had a soccer mom. A make-the-Halloween-costumes-by-hand mom. A never-miss-a-single-important-event mom. A doting, expressive, and…

Meet The Parents

January 24th, 2008 @ 2:09 pm by Mrs. Canary

Mr. Canary and I have been engaged for almost a year. (I can’t believe it!) Time has flown so quickly and now we’re getting ready to move into our new home (finally!) and finish planning the wedding. But one big thing that hasn’t happened? Our parents have yet to meet. We had initially planned a meeting of our families for the summer of 2007, but…

How To Address Your New Family

January 7th, 2008 @ 11:52 am by Mrs. Onion

I was wrapping Christmas presents for our families over the holiday and started to write a tag for my father-in-law’s gift from me and Mr. Onion, and I wrote “for Dad” because that’s how he would address his father. Then I was writing my mother-in-law’s gift tag and without thinking wrote “for [her first name].”

It got me thinking — what do you call your in-laws…

In a revealing Salon.com interview, Deborah Merrill, author of the book “Mothers-in-Law and Daughters-in-Law: Understanding the Relationship and What Makes Them Friends or Foe”, acknowledges that mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationships can occasionally be fraught with tension and conflict because “while the daughter-in-law is trying to create her own family, her mother-in-law is trying to maintain relationships in her family as they have…

(F)MILs

October 4th, 2007 @ 4:11 pm by Mrs. Peony

Mr. Peony and I had a discussion about mother-in-laws the other day and ended up questioning when exactly it became the norm to not get along with your (future) mother-in-law. Was it always this way? Did cavewomen butt heads with their MILs too?

After spending time with my mother every day for the last 9 months, Mr. Peony now loves her despite the language barrier (she…
