hmm, all the arabs i know call their mom in laws mart-ami (literally means my uncles wife). i dont know why as this makes no sense. haha i have no idea what id call mine...i guess id see what her other kids in law call her or ask her what she prefers? i dunno, but i would feel weird referring to her with the same word i used for my mother. but im cool with using another way of saying mom if that would make her happy.
