I'll one up you - my MOTHER does this to me! I have told her, and told her. For my first wedding, I went so far as to print wedding invitations that read, "Mr Firstname Lastname and Mrs Firstname Lastname invite you...". She still, into my second marriage, insists on addressing things to us as Mr & Mrs DH's name.
I'm right there with you - 20 years in, and I still can't fix it.

I'm weird. It's not so bad if it's addressed to both of us. But when it is JUST to me...

This happens to me too. I have only been married 12 years but my MIL always does the same: Mrs. DH's first and last name. What is up with that? She does not call me Skip when she is talking to me..
