short answer - u need to call them.at least when u first see them for the day. we can't escape the fact that it is basic manners that we even call strangers or tell our kids to call strangers uncle and auntie or something like that. moreover, this is ur parents-in-law and not some stranger so u as a dil should call them. an overnight change might be difficult. u dont need to call every time u want to address to them but then i wonder how u call them when u want to talk to them - unless u don't which is equally very unfriendly and rude. daughter-in-law shouldn't be behaving this way. Not staying with them or bad impression of them does not warrant not acknowledging them as ur husband's parents and does not warrant ur non-acknowlegement. not good terms -- well, if u come across as rude and no manners - very hard to have good relationship or improve it right? how would u feel or like it if ur husband was the same towards ur parents?
