So do husbands call there wife mom? If wives are calling there husbands dad.

@updown2020 It’s creepy either way, unless they’re a rural farm family like "Ma & Pa Kettle". Somehow it’s not weird when they have a bunch of kids, helping with chores.

@bijouxbroussard My wife passed 4 1/2 yrs. ago. When I talk about her with the kids now, we both refer to her as Mom. Sometimes I say "your Mother". When she was alive I called her Ellen, but would refer to her as Mom or your Mom to the kids.
She called me my name but would refer to me as Dad or your Dad to the kids. Meh! 🤷🏻

@bowman81 Yes, that I can understand. My parents when speaking to us about each other would say that. But they addressed each other by the first names although later when my mother’s dementia took hold she would sometimes speak to me about my father using his first name—confusing because my brother’s a Jr.
