My man's parents. How do I talk to them? Because of my overly "proper" upbringing, I can't bring myself to do it. I rarely use the informal "you," even though I probably should. But I just can't.
I had a nail appointment today, but I had to cancel. The repairman was late – it's 10 already and he… We haven't been to the pediatrician in about 10 years. The last time we saw an eye doctor was about…

I've always addressed my in-laws formally, using 'Вы'. I call my parents 'Mama' and 'Papa', but still use the formal 'Вы' with them.

Shashkova Anna All relatives, even those we don't see often, use the informal "ты" (ty) with me.
My son, hearing me, also uses "вы" (vy) with his relatives. For example, he always uses "вы". And I'm trying to push myself. Besides, they're simple people, they prefer it this way.

Shashkova Anna Mine are also not fancy, but we use the formal 'you' (вы). My kids call their grandparents 'ty' (ты), but I use 'vy' (вы).

I address you formally (using 'вы'), but my husband addresses you informally (using 'ты'), for example, 'Hi Dad, Hi Mom'.

I always use the formal 'you' with them. It feels weird when they use the informal 'you' with me. My husband also uses the formal 'you' with my mom. Is that normal?

Why are we using "you" (informal)?
We should only use "you" (formal) and your full name.

Did they introduce themselves to you using "tu" or "vous"?

Vedeneva Yuliya How can we introduce ourselves using both "you (informal)" and "you (formal)"? 😳
