Speaking of the &quot;hey you&quot; thing, it seems it was me and my friend's husband only who struggled with what to call the in-laws. I could not get with calling them mom and dad. Mr. or Mrs. (Last Name) sounded too formal so basically I just did not call them anything lol. I got up close enough, made eye contact, and said &quot;hey&quot; and carried on with what I had to say.

Later on in life my friend's mother told me she thought my friend's husband couldn't decide what to call her. (She was living with them.) She said no matter what even if he had to tap her on the shoulder no name came out his mouth.

All I could do was and share my same issue.
