[quote=Anonymous]And this is why I never let my kids call adults by their first name. Maybe it is old fashioned but everyone gets some sort of title — Aunt or Uncle Fname (for family and closest family friends Ms or Mr Jones or Ms Suzy and Mr John (kids’ friends’ until they say otherwise) Neighbors are Mr and Mrs Jones until they say otherwise You never go wrong starting more formal and then getting more casual over time, if the relationship warrants it and the other person agrees. Whether you pay someone or not makes no difference. My children call the landscaper Mr Smith because he isn’t their friend. [/quote]
