[quote=Anonymous]First Name? Mrs. LastName? Miss FirstName? I grew up always calling adults Mr. or Mrs. LastName. DH was taught to call adults Mr/Miss FirstName. That seems to be a good compromise... it's what our kid's preschool teachers use. But then our adult babysitter told me to have the kids call her Julie or Mrs. Smith, but not "Miss Julie". Personally, now that I'm an adult, I cringe at the thought of anyone calling me Mrs. LastName. I'd prefer FirstName or Miss FirstName. Anyway, I don't want to overthink this, but I don't want to offend anyone and have them think my young kid is impolite. Is it best to err on the side of formality and call people Mr/Mrs LastName unless told otherwise? What's the norm these days? [/quote]
