I used “Mr. B” and “Mrs. B” literally, when I addressed my in-laws for ten years until the kids came along and since then it’s been “Mr. B” and “grandma.” My kids SO’s address us as Mr and Mrs. Last name and my kids reciprocate to their parents. In our culture this is very normal, it would be considered disrespectful to address an elder as an equal. And even though the kids’ SO come from different backgrounds, one Asian and the other east coast families, they apparently have the same perspectives. I guess it would make me feel odd if they used my first name after they married but I’ll cross that bridge…
