I called them mom & dad from the first time I met them. His mom has since passed away but I do not feel any different than back then. They're still mom & dad.
I didnt know what to expect really. Your dad was serious but your mom was nice. I remember thinking about the cliché "so here's where she gets her good looks" :P
Now I realize your dad talks a lot and is much nicer than he can pretend. And your mom can be mean actually and it's funny how she cusses a lot.

Great! We played cards way into the night.
i liked them & i still like them:)
I like them and still like them
Was scared to meet them but after awhile I got use to them
Her mother was a bit standoffish, and I haven't really had the chance to get to know the real her so I don't have a fixed opinion just yet because it fluctuates.
I liked them the first time I met them and I love them even more now.
I thought that her mom was very bubbly and easy to talk to and I thought her dad was pretty awkward. I love them even more now than before!
Haven't met his dad, but I felt his mom & I were making progress until she cancelled two outings with us. Not sure but hopeful things will change.
I thought they were nice people, and they still are.
I was so nervous! For the first time, I felt it was a true honest relationship going somewhere, and I was with someone who balanced me out and brought out the best in me. We hadn't been dating long when I met his dad and his dad was just like him, direct and straight to the point, and it made me nervous but just comfortable too, weird compared to how I normally would've taken it. (may not make sense but it does to me)
I was too nervous to form an opinion. I absolutely love his mum. And his dad makes me laugh.
I felt resistance and curiosity. I still do.
