Worth doing my wife is so nervous in my parents company its untrue as they the age of her lola and lolo. But they look after well which im so proud and happy of. Last Christmas when she was Ill they drove over so they arrived exactly at lunch time to drop off some food they could not come in due to the bug she had just in case and had to drive back.

This year again they made agreat fuss of her and her Lill Bro, Sis and family who they discretely pass cheques to the Wife before christmas so they can celebrate like us with nice foods and gifts

The Wife still does not call them Mum and Dad yet but like you say far more easier than first names and would hopefully make her feel more at ease
