I abhor the whole Mr./Miss First name convention. It reminds me of the conservative south. Disgusting.

Same. Hate it.

First name or Larla's Dad. We answer to Mr./Ms. but don't promote it-- it's not part of my culture of origin so it feels weird to me. I teach my kids to address people as they wish to be addressed, and to ask the person if they are unsure.

A. “My husband is going to fix Larlo’s bike”
B. “John is going to fix Larlo’s bike” (they don’t know that Larlo’s dad is John though)
C. “Mr. John is going to fix Larlo’s bike”
D. “Larlo’s dad is going to fix Larlo’s bike”

All of them sound sort of awkward because they’re kids. Which do you use the most?

To other young children I say Mr. Last name and I am Mrs. Last name. To adult children, over 21, by our first names. I was brought up to always call parents of friends Mr./Mrs. I continued this until they ask me to call them by their first name.

Children need to respect older people. We had neighbors who were in their 80's and I called them Mr./Mrs.

Children can respect adults WHILE calling them by their first names.

Interesting. I was taught to respect adults by calling them “Miss Jane” and “mr John”. My married last name is hard to say as it’s Eastern European so I wouldn’t use it with little kids or toddlers.

My mom’s in-laws made her call them mr and mrs but it was a form of abuse. They didn’t see her as the same class as them.

Referring to an entire section of the country as "disgusting" is quite the educated, mature response. Do better.
