MILs and guys usually get along better, though. Mothers normally want the best for their daughters and like to keep peace with SILs, while guys' mothers often compete for attention and like to offer unsolicited input, which makes them hellish. I know it's not a nice thing to say, but I do prefer my men to be orphans.
Perhaps; I couldn't say so one way or another. In thinking about this topic, I wonder what my BIL calls my parents or my sister calls her husband's parents.
I called my MIL "Mom". We weren't really close (though we got along fine; I just hardly ever saw her) and it felt kind of weird to call her "Mom", but the way I was raised it would've been disrespectful not to call her "Mom".
My husband calls my mom "Mom" and called my dad "Dad".
