[quote=Anonymous]It is very common in a family to use the relationship to name adults - mom, dad, grandma, grandpa, aunt, uncle. I wouldn’t dream of referring to those adults in my family just by first names! Just a first name for most adults is new. It used to be that friends parents and teachers were were called Ms Mrs Mr and physicians were Dr etc. I find this trend of everyone is just Bob and Sue when coming from kids to be jarring. That was definitely disrespectful when we were growing up and I still see it that way. There is a ten year old in my daughter’s dance class who calls her mother Melissa instead of mom and it is just strange to me. [/quote]
