girls.......

hey everyone!!!

just wanted to know from all married and engaged girlies…

how do u adress ur mil?

do u call them mum, aunty or what???

i would want to call my mil to be mum or whatever just so its feels more personal than aunty ji but i cant imagine calling anyone mum apart from my mum!!!

does it change once ur married?

Re: girls.......

i call her aunty :) my mum will always be my mum no1 will take that name :d

I call her Maa, cause thats what hubby calls her

I call my mum Ammi, and thats what hubby calls her too

so we have a Maa and a Ammi, all happy :)

Re: girls.......

I call my MIL Aunty... because we've been family friends since 10 years and i just couldn't get myself to start calling her "ammi" all of a sudden.

Re: girls.......

i don't have Mil

Re: girls.......

I call her Aunty but I call her Ammi when I speak to my fiance. I really cannot fathom calling her Ammi. Only my birth mother should be given that name.

Re: girls.......

I Just call my MIL Amma, your real mum's the real thing !!! can't beat that no matter how good your mother in law is.

Re: girls.......

Calling someone amma or ammi doesnt make them your mom, its just a personal choice. I call mine ***** aunty that's only because we havent announced our engagement yet. Once we do that I will call her what my hubby does. Same goes for him.

Re: girls.......

I call my mother MOM

MIL is Ammi

like that

Re: girls.......

i started off with aunty, but then my father in law pointed out that its nicer if i called her ami ji & from that day on thats what i called her- it was really hard to begin with because obv u dont see her as ur mum but as the rishta grew it felt right

Re: girls.......

so im not the only one calling my mil aunty!

maybe once im married i may feel comfortable calling her what my hubby calls her :)

Re: girls.......

call her baRii ammaaN :)

You call her something that got censored? :hehe:

some mother in laws get offended if you dont call them mum or whatever titel your hubby uses as they think u havent totally accepted her. so we have no choice but to call her mum. its a lil weird at first then u get used to it.

Re: girls.......

Reminds of an episode of Everybody Loves Raymond

yeah keep that in mind...

btw what you think of her is more important than what you call her :)

:smiley:

No, I censored her name!

Re: girls.......

I used to call her aunty till we got rukhsatified and even then it took me a good month or two to get used to the idea of calling her ammi. There was no pressure from the inlaws but i found i really did think of her as ammi when i started calling her that. Hubs calls my ammi, ammi too.

I call my MIL Ammi. That's what my husband calls her too. I call my mom Ammi too. But I of course make it obvious which "Ammi" I am talking about. My MIL is a true mom to me and my husband both. I don't mind calling her Ammi. She is awesome!
