What kind of Shvigger?

[Yehuda57]

Ok. Here's an alternative poll: what do you call your mother in law?

First time I've seen 'kind' and 'shvigger' in the same sentence.

Now that I got the requisite mother in law joke out of the way:
To her face: "Mommy/Ma"
To my wife: "your mother"
To my wife's sibling: "Mommy/Ma"
To my wife's sibling's spouse: Awkward fumbling while saying "Mommy/Ma"

[Something Fishy]

"Hallo"

To her face: "Mommy/Ma"
To my wife: "your mother"
To my wife's sibling: "Mommy/Ma"
To my wife's sibling's spouse: Awkward fumbling while saying "Mommy/Ma"

To her face: Either a throat clear to get her attention, failing that I just hold my tongue until she speaks to me.
To my wife: "your mother"
To my wife's sibling: "your mother"
To my wife's sibling's spouse: Awkward fumbling while saying "your shvigger"
To my father in law: Awkward fumbling while saying "your wife" or "the Rebbetzin"

I can't say "the shvigger", for some reason it's too awkward.

To her face: “Mommy”
To my wife: "your mother"
To my wife's sibling: "Mommy"
To my wife's sibling's spouse: “the Shvigger”
To my father in law: “Mommy”
What he calls her to me: “Bubby”

Would be so weird to call my Shvigger "Mommy". Like, what in the world?

and I actually think its so disrespectful.  the name mother/mommy should be reserved for your actual mother/mommy. My shvigger was insulted at first (and probably still is as she things the word shvigger is derogatory) but I made it clear I wont be calling her mommy (insert puke emoji here)

Nu, who's starting What kind of spouse thread?

To each other, in front of kids, to other people....

[imayid2]

Do we have any shviggers here to get their perspective on this?

[Ver hut gazugt]

Poll is missing “Bubby”

Hate to be the one to disagree, but I think it's one of the easiest investments a young chassan or kallah can make in the relationship with their in-laws (ETA: and spouse). I'm pretty sure parents in law typically appreciate it. It may feel awkward the first few times, but you get used to it quickly enough.

It also helps in talking to your spouse about their parents- I don't think "your mother said" sounds quite as nice as "mommy said", etc. It puts you and your spouse on the same team with the same sets of parents.

I think the number of options might break the DDF poll technology.

The whole poll speaks to your relationship with your shvigger...

How’s she supposed to know which “mommy” you’re referring to ?

In any conversation she’ll know which one. Trust me.
