[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think Ms. J is fine if you are okay with it.  My daughter has a teacher who is "Mrs. F" because of a complicated last name.  She signs everything that way.

I don't think there is a set norm in this area.  I have a six year old and we use Ms. FirstName for friends and neighbors. But we also said that whatever a person wants to be called, is what you use even if your normal rules are different.  So if Ms. Pam says "Call me Mrs. Foley," then you do.

As kids get older, I think they should transition to either just the first name (said politely) or Ms. LastName.  [b]Either is better than "Larla's Mom" which I get pretty often.[/b]

Really?  I think that's the easiest given differing last names, complicated last names, some wanting first name/some wanting last name. [/quote]

A lot of my son’s friends (ages 6-9 mostly) call me Larlo’s mom (like hi Larlo’s mom. Can Larlo’s come out and play?). I started answering to it when they were much younger and it stuck. I prefer it to being called “Mrs. my husband and sons last name” because that’s not my last name, and honestly I don’t care what they call me really, just that they’re being respectful. [/quote]
