[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't mind if I can address you by your first name. What I do mind is when a parent wants to address me by my first name and have me refer to them as Mr./Ms. I am not the help. I do this with doctors as well. If the doctor uses my first name I use his/hers in return.[/quote] +1,000[/quote]l I have a neighbor who knows that I am a teacher, so she requests that I call her Mrs. X. I do not teach her children, nor will I ever teach her children as long as we live in the neighborhood we do. Her rationale, which she very openly voiced, is that it is a term of respect since she is a parent of schoolchildren. When I responded that I too am the mother of school-aged children, she replied, "Of course, but you are also just a teacher," while addressing me by my first name. :shock: [/quote] Your neighbor is terrible. I wouldn’t call her anything because I wouldn’t be speaking to her anymore. [/quote]
