Well I equally believe it's not polite to hear kids addressing adults as peers. So I will raise mine my way and if you think it's rude, that's fine, because I think yours sound rude as well. [/quote]

It's not polite to [i]hear[/i] things? If Adult A wants my kid to call her by her first name, and my kid then does call her by her first name, and you hear it, then Adult A and my kid are being rude because you don't want to hear that?[/quote]

It's crass. If the other person just insists, whatever, but I was raised with manners and it's never going to sound okay to me to hear some child walk up and address their elder as Jim. [b]If Jim doesn't care and you don't care, have at it, but your kids sound like they were raised without respect or manners. [/b]Clearly you don't care about that though so I'm not sure why it bothers you someone would think that. [/quote]

I agree, it doesn't sound right. People can like what they like, but the other PP cannot police people's impressions of her or her family. And some of those impressions will be negative.[/quote]
