Nice to meet you all and merry Christmas

Afghanistan and Kenya to name a few haha

And when I was in the US my partner is good at putting the sun cream on so I didn't burn haha

When I was there for the first time I feel awkward calling people (especially older people) with their first name. To me, it sounds like I am not respecting them. I only call her mother Audrey, which is very awkward for me.. And you know here in Pinas how much we respect old people, we tend to call them lolo, lola, nanay or tatay even if you are not relatives lol. So I have to get use to calling people by their name.

Well I call her mama and papa tita and tito.

Yeah that's how you do it here.

She dose the same with my parents but it's quite a nevolty for them haha

It's just a matter of getting used to I think. My partners mum is 87 y.o and I call her Audrey, it's like calling a friend or some stranger but that's how things work over there.

I know and see was like what will I call them but there happy with that and like it.

If you'll be addressing someone with a Pinoy/Pinay heritage, the terms of endearment/respect is fine such as tito, tita, lolo, lola, kuya, ate, etc. Most will actually like it.

But when addressing British people, they might take it the wrong way or feel awkward.

My best advice is, just treat everyone equally here.

'How are you today, Audrey? You look lovely as ever.'

9/10 she'll like the greeting.

That's good. She won't have to feel awkward calling them only by name. Saying mum and dad to your husbands parents is quite a good thing. One way to know that they're accepting her and treating her as part of the family

Yeah I'll take note of that. Thanks

I think they would love that too and when we get married will probably revert to that.

Awww another wedding bell ringing. Wish you both all the best

Thank and yes soon we will be I couldn't ask for more in a life partner she's my best friend and soul mate.

And I know when a guy says that, he's serious.

Salamat I really am she works hard and never asks anything off me just to be me but I do send he the occasional flowers and obviously birthday and Christmas gifts.

I'm sure you'll make a good couple. And a good parents in the future as well.

Salamat
