Oh no Ruthie, I certainly wouldn't expect that or want it. I don't call my

PIL " mum and dad " , because I have my own parents, so I just call them by

their names. I am aware though that the last time they stayed with us (last

month), she told DH how she had to walk on eggshells when staying with her

other son and his wife. I really don't want her to feel that when she comes

here - I don't think she does, but she's in her 70's and maybe wouldn't say

if something was wrong. I do get on very well with her though, enjoy her

company and have good chats to her either on the phone about once a week or

when we go up there (Aberdeen) which is next week actually.
