[quote=Anonymous]DD is only 3, so we haven't had a lot of experience with this yet. The children of our closest friends refer to us as "Aunt" and "Uncle," although for some reason DD mostly calls them by their first names or by funny made-up names that are kind of an inside joke. DH is Brazilian and grew up calling all adults "Mr./Mrs. First name." He calls my parents this too. I think it's a nice sign of respect for elders, but it depends on the relationship and the age gap, in my opinion. I would probably never refer to an 80-year old by his/her first name, but maybe cultural norms are changing in this regard, as I would not be offended if my kids' friends end up just using my first name. I think we'll probably teach DD to use titles unless the person instructs us to use his or her first name.[/quote]
