That's funny. In all the years I have known my MIL, I have never actually called her anything. I make sure that we have eye-contact in person and on the phone, it's no problem. She is not someone I would feel comfortable calling "mom" and it is too weird to call her by her first name. For the longest time she would end her calls with some sappy "I love you honey" or some other BS to which I replied (depending on my mood) "Allrighty then" or "That's nice" - She FINALLY got the message and gave up. (Wiping brow). lol
